  1. I've been spending the dogs days of winter watching some YouTube videos about carp fishing. One thing I noticed in lots of them is the leader hat. During tournaments and competitions there is a hat given to the angler with the current largest fish or heaviest weight. I think it could be a great idea for fish ins. I like the medal idea but a hat could be worn every day. First fish landed and weighed gets the hat. Someone catches a larger fish and they have to pass the hat. Person at the end of the fish in gets to keep the hat. I like this idea over the medals. Medals end in in a drawer or hanging on the wall. A hat you could wear every day.

  2. Learn how to tie your own. Not too hard at all. Any respectable carp angler will tell you the same thing. Don't waste your money on rigs and start getting proper gear like nets, mats, slings, rods, pods, alarms etc. trust me save your $$$, tie your own, and catch more fish.

  3. Use a shock leader of 30 pound or heavier mono. Enough to go from your lead and wrapped around your reel a few times. From there an inline 3-5 oz lead. 30 pound end trap soft multi rig. Use either a world classic 16mm boilie or a few pieces of fake corn. Use some pack around your lead or a small pva stick filled with the same hook bait boilies crushed. That's my go to river set up. I mainly only fish rivers. Hudson, raritan, Hackensack, all of which are fast flowing tidal rivers. Hope that helped, it sure works for me. Any questions on the rig just look up multi rig on YouTube.
