Chod Rig

Description

Handmade Chod Rig – High Hooking Potential in Choddy Waters

These Chod Rigs are handmade and tied to order using my favourite premium components. As one of the most popular methods in the UK, the chod rig is highly effective because it combines a short, stiff hooklink with a chod swivel, which allows 360-degree movement. Consequently, this setup, together with the curve of the hooklink, gives the rig massive hooking potential.

Moreover, the rig can be used over all types of lakebeds, although it performs especially well in weed, deep silt, or dirty/choddy areas. In addition, it is perfectly suited for super buoyant pop-ups, which ensures your bait sits naturally and moves freely, attracting even the wariest carp.

Premium Materials for Superior Performance

Chod Hooks
Firstly, these hooks feature an out-turned eye, which allows for effective presentation of pop-up baits. Therefore, they are the preferred choice for rigs using buoyant hookbaits, as they provide excellent hook holds. Additionally, the hooks are made from high-carbon steel, giving them superior strength and reliability. They are also double PTFE coated, which creates a silky-smooth finish for quicker and cleaner hook penetration. Furthermore, these hooks are extremely sharp and can be filed to near needle-like points while maintaining their strength.

Korda Mouth Trap (20lb)
Next, the hooklink material is Korda Mouth Trap 20lb, which retains a perfect curve when formed. As a result, it is easy to manipulate into the correct boom, unlike other hooklink materials. Moreover, the Mouth Trap is strong, reliable, and versatile, providing excellent presentation in a variety of fishing situations.

Chod Swivel
In addition, Chod Swivels, also known as flexi ring swivels, are a vital component of modern carp rigs. These size 11 swivels allow greater natural movement of your end tackle and hookbait. They are also small and unobtrusive, making them ideal for pressured waters or in front of wary carp. Finally, they are strong, reliable, and versatile, ensuring long-term performance.

Hook Bait Mounts

Rig Ring – The 3.1mm mini rings feature a matte black, non-reflective coating, which helps prevent spooking carp. They also allow the bait to move naturally while minimizing hook movement.

Bait Screw – These 12mm anti-glare bait screws provide easy attachment of your hookbait and allow natural movement. Therefore, they have become increasingly popular due to their ease of use and excellent presentation.

Micro Ring Swivel – The size 22 mini swivels are small, flexible, and coated with matte black non-reflective material. As a result, they are perfect for natural hookbait movement and improve overall presentation.
