    hair rigged vs straight hooked corn

    Tony I would take issue with the conservation officer however that is just me. I always like to be well versed in the local regulations so I quick search for Georgia I found the 2015 definition of artificial lure as follows:

    Any lure which is made completely of natural or colored wood, cork, feathers, hair, rubber, metal, plastic, tinsel, styrofoam, sponge, string, or any combination of such materials, in imitation of or as a substitute for natural bait. This does not include any item sprayed with or containing scented or chemical attractants.

    Seems that plastic corn falls 100% into that category. Again I smartly "pick fights" when it comes to carp angling when I feel I am right especially when the regulations say I am. Might be worth printing the regulation artist from the book to have on your side.

    Great post! I would agree that using the sensitive method you do will always get more bites as opposed to us ledger minded anglers. I think the same for float fishing as it's another sensitive method. A lot of people who have never tried feeder or float fishing are missing out on learning tons about how carp feed and act. There's a reason some of us will hit on a single beep from the bite alarm!

    That's completely true. I try not to judge anyone's fishing but my own. I use inline leads most of the time unless I see a need to drop the lead on purpose like fishing in heavy weeds. There's times where I use a running rig as well. If your rig works then keep using it however people will give you flak because it's a "death rig" and not proper, if there is such a thing, Don't take it against CAG, it's just people personal preference.

    Tight lines!

    The one I posted has a shock bead to give the effect of a running rig with a bolt rig. The purpose behind dropping the lead is so the fish doesn't drag it around. It became the norm in Europe because years ago they found some dead carp with rigs with leads attached that were caught in snag Having a swivel about the lead will cause the lead to stay attached if the line above the swivel snaps.
