Chod Rig for carp fishing

A chod rig is a kind of helicopter rig. The lead is positioned at the end of the line with the hook mounted up the line on a anti tangle system which is often on a leadcore leader.

The benefits of this rig is that if the lake bed is made up of soft silt or good old mud then often is the case that the lead weight will berry in to the silt taking the hook length and your bait with it ! This causes obvious problems as the carp will never find your biolie.
