INTRODUCTION
Over the coming pages we have drawn on the expertise of
Fox’s consultants from across Europe to help you master
some of the most effective carp rigs on the planet. In
addition we have also covered the basics of feature finding
and bait application and also included illustrated diagrams
of all of the key knots that are required by the modern
carp angler. Whatever your carp fishing experience and
wherever you live in the world there is one thing that all
carp anglers share in common – we are all looking for
an edge, something that can give us the upper hand not
only over the carp but also our fellow anglers. We have
therefore packed this guide with countless edges to help
ensure that this year is your most successful ever!
We hope you enjoy it and find it useful.

Colour Break Technology
is used on many Edges
products to greatly
aid concealment.
The Edges range has been developed alongside
top diver Rob Hughes to ensure it offers the
ultimate in camouflage and concealment.
LEADERS
When selecting a leader it is important that the product
you select has good sinking properties, is limp enough to
follow the contours of the lakebed, can offer resistance
to abrasion and most importantly will blend in with
the lakebed you are fishing over. Leadcore is perhaps
the most popular style of leader due to its incredible
density and great abrasion resistance. However, in
recent years fisheries have started to ban the product
due to misuse by some inexperienced anglers, and
this has led to an increased popularity in lead-free
alternatives. The beauty with lead-free leaders such
as Submerge is that they are unbelievably supple yet
still very dense. This means they sink like a brick and
hug the contours perfectly therefore reducing the
chances of a carp coming into contact with them and
spooking. The Submerge leader is very easy to splice
and is also very strong once spliced. The final type of
leader material that you can use is a braided leader,
such as the Armadillo. These braided leaders are dual
purpose and can be used both as a shockleader when
distance casting with heavy leads and also as a snag
leader when fishing snaggy venues. Usually most snag/
shock leaders are not designed with camouflage in
mind, however, the Armadillo bucks that trend and
features the same Dark and Light Camo technology as
the Edges Camo Leadcore, Reflex Camo and Camotex
hooklink materials. So now when you need to use a snag
or shockleader you can do so in complete confidence
that they will not hinder your chances of success.
The suppleness of
lead-free leaders
makes them a great
alternative to leadcore.
Leadcore is a popular
leader material as it
is incredibly dense.
The ability to use a camouflaged shock/
snag leader is a massive edge.
In order not to arouse the suspicions of wary carp it is
important that you choose rig components that blend
in well with the lakebed you are fishing over. During the
development of the Edges range we spent countless
hours working closely with top underwater diver Rob
Hughes to ensure the camouflage and colour patterns
used were the best match possible. What became very
clear from Rob’s findings was that no lakebed is made
up of just one solid colour and that most lakebeds have
many different shades. It is therefore impossible to
design a product that completely matches every single
lakebed, however, after hours of painstaking research
and development our team of product developers
managed to come up with designs that could adapt to
a whole host of different lakebeds and ensure that you
have a massive ‘edge’ when targeting rig-shy carp.
These designs are Light and Dark Camo, the Light
Camo being perfect for fresh weed, clay, sand
and clean gravel and the Dark Camo being suited
to silt, darker gravel, dying weed and debris.

HOOKLINKS
When it comes to choosing a hooklink material
whether it is mono, braid or coated braid it is
important that you select one that will match the
lakebed on which you are presenting your hookbait.
In addition it is also key to have your hooklink pinned
to the lakebed, which can be achieved by using
Tungsten Hooklink Sinkers or Power Grip Putty.
COMPONENTS
Carp fishing is all about percentages and the more things you can put in your
favour the more successful you will be. Therefore when selecting components
such as shrink tube, lead clips, anti-tangle sleeves, tail rubbers, buffer beads
etc make sure you select ones that have good camouflage
properties. Again through the extensive diving work
with Rob Hughes we have managed to develop
the Trans Khaki colour for our components
that we have found blends in very well with
all manner of different lakebeds. Finally
make sure you use a lead that matches the
lakebed as well, remember – play the percentages!
TOP
Adding Tungsten
Hooklink Sinkers to
your rigs can help
to pin them to the
lakebed and prevent
carp spooking.
Carry a selection of hooklink colours
and patterns to cover all bases.
The new Trans Khaki components are designed to
blend in with a host of different lakebeds...

THE NAKED CHOD RIG HAS BECOME
ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND MOST
EFFECTIVE TACTICS FOR CATCHING CARP
OF ALL SIZES, MASTER THIS APPROACH
AND SUCCESS WILL FOLLOW...
The Naked Chod Rig is designed to be fished with an ultra-buoyant pop-
up hookbait and is used for fishing over weed and/or soft debris such as
thick silt, dead leaves etc. It is based on a Helicopter rig design whereby
your hooklink is situated on your main line, with your lead tied to the end
of that line. This means that your lead will land on the lakebed first with
your hooklink following behind and due to the buoyancy of the hookbait the
hooklink will slowly sink down through the water and land on top of any
debris leaving perfect presentation. You can fish the hooklink ‘fixed’ a set
distance above the lead using the Edges Tungsten Chod Bead, which grips
the line very securely (make sure this distance is greater than the depth
of ‘Chod’ you are fishing on) or fished free running on the line with a 5mm
Edges Tungsten Bead positioned on a Tapered Main Line Sinker set above the
hooklink a few inches deeper than the ‘Chod’ or weed you are fishing on.

THE COMPONENTS YOU
WILL REQUIRE TO CREATE
A CHOD HOOKLINK.
Carefully blob the tag
end of the Hair with
a lighter to set the
‘D’ into position.
Attach a size 11 Flexi
Ring Swivel to the end
of the hooklink with a
2-Turn Blood Knot.
Place the end of the
Hair through the back
of the eye of the hook
to create a ‘D’ shape.
Cut 4ins of Rigidity and
attach a hook to one
end with a knotless knot
leaving a short Hair.
Place a Mini Hook Ring
Swivel onto the tag of
the Hair as illustrated
in the image above.
HOW TO CREATE A CHOD HOOKLINK
Place the hooklink onto
a Chod/Withy Bin and
hold it over a steaming
kettle for 4 seconds.
You have now created
the perfect hooklink
to be fished on a
Naked Chod Rig.
Mould some Power Grip
putty over the eye of
the swivel to counter
balance the pop-up.
MAIN LINE COMPONENTS
When fishing the Naked Chod Rig you will simply
fish your main line straight through to the lead. In
order to counter balance the buoyancy of the pop-up
hookbait we recommend that you use a fluorocarbon
main line such as the Illusion XS as this a heavier line
than monofilament. When fishing a running Naked
Chod with your hooklink swivel on the main line
previously you have had the risk of the swivel cutting
through the line when playing a carp. However, by
using the Edges Chod/Heli Buffer Sleeve you can
offer your line maximum protection as the hooklink
swivel slides onto the sleeve during the fight.
HOOKLINK
To create the perfect Chod hooklink you will need to
use an ultra-stiff bristle filament material such as
Rigidity in 20 or 25lb. You can set the length of the
hooklink to your preferred choice but a good starting
point is 2.5ins. At one end of the hooklink attach your
hook with a knotless knot and create a ‘D’ Rig whilst
at the other end attach a size 11 ring swivel. On the
‘D’ place a Mini Hook Ring Swivel, which you can
then attach your hookbait to. It is important to create
a nice progressive curve in your short hooklink so
that it can grab hold of the bottom lip when a carp
sucks it in, this is made very easy by using a Steam
& Store Chod/Withy Bin, which allows you to create
the perfect curve over a steaming kettle every time.

Start by threading the
tungsten bead from the
Tungsten Chod Bead
Kit onto the main line.
Place the swivel of
your Chod Rig hooklink
onto the recess on
the bead as shown.
Thread the second half of
the Chod Bead on. This will
grip the line very tightly so
add saliva to the line first.
Now thread your Chod
Rig hooklink section
(see page 9) onto the
main line, as shown.
CREATE A FIXED NAKED CHOD RIG
Pass some floss through
the swivel and thread
hookbait onto floss.
Blob the molten tag
against the bait with
the lighter to secure!
Slide hookbait onto
swivel so the swivel
barrel plugs inside.
Carefully burn the tag
ends with a lighter
so they set on fire.
ATTACH YOUR HOOKBAIT
WITH THE BLOB METHOD
Now place the two
parts of the bead
together, as illustrated
in the image above.
Tie on your lead and
slide the buffer sleeve
into position over the
swivel of the lead.
Thread the buffer sleeve
from the kit onto the
line with the female end
towards the bead.
Set the Chod Bead to the
distance above the lead
that you require and the
‘Fixed Chod’ is complete.
When playing a fish the bead will slide
down the line and connect into the buffer
sleeve to offer ultimate protection and
shock absorption during the fight.

Next, thread one of
the Edges Heli/Chod
Buffer Sleeves onto the
line, thin end first.
Now tie your chosen
lead onto the end of
the main line with a
5-turn Grinner Knot.
The small Chod Rig
hooklink (see page 9)
is then threaded onto
the main line.
Start by threading a
5mm Tungsten Bead
onto the Illusion XS
fluorocarbon main line.
Thread a Tapered Main
Line Sinker onto the
line and place the bead
onto the sinker.
SETTING UP THE RUNNING NAKED CHOD RIG
The Chod hooklink can
now sit on the Heli/Chod
Buffer Sleeve like so
offering the line protection.
Set the top bead and
sinker to your chosen
depth and your Naked
Chod is complete!
Slide the Heli/Chod
Buffer Sleeve down the
line and into position
over the top of the lead.

your hooklink sits
nicely on
top of any
debris and

ONE OF THE ALL-TIME
CLASSIC ‘BIG FISH’ RIGS,
THE HINGED STIFF RIG IS
AN OUT-AND-OUT POP-UP
PRESENTATION THAT CARP
SIMPLY CANNOT DEAL WITH...
The Hinged Stiff was originally designed many moons
ago by rig guru Mike Kavanagh and has since become
popularised by many of carp fishing’s biggest names.
The rig works in a very similar way to the Naked Chod
Rig that we have just covered and in fact the hook
section of this rig is exactly the same as a Chod Rig
hooklink! The difference here is that we attach a
stiff boom (tied from either Camotex Stiff or Illusion
fluorocarbon) of 6-8ins to the ring on the ‘Chod’
hooklink to give the rig a greater degree of flexibility.
The boom section can then be fished in conjunction
with a lead clip arrangement or as a helicopter setup
depending on personal preference. The rig is at its
best when fished in conjunction with a buoyant pop-up
boilie hookbait over a spread of boilie free offerings.

Start by creating a
normal, stiff Chod Rig
hooklink section
(as illustrated on page 9).
Remove 2ins of coating at
the other end of the boom
section and tie a figure-
of-eight loop in the braid.
Thread an anti-tangle
sleeve onto the loop and
attach the loop to an Edges
Quick-Change O Ring.
Attach the ring of the
‘Chod’ hooklink to the
exposed braid with
a Grinner Knot.
Now carefully cut a
12ins length of the
new Camotex Stiff
hooklink material.
Strip away approx.
2ins of the stiff outer
coating from one end
of the material.

CARP TEND TO SPEND MUCH OF THE DAY
AND INDEED NIGHT FEEDING UP IN THE
WATER AWAY FROM THE LAKEBED SO IT
IS IMPORTANT TO MASTER THE ZIG RIG
TO CATCH THEM IN THESE AREAS!
The Zig Rig put simply is a buoyant hookbait fished directly off the lead on a
long hooklink of anywhere between 1ft and up to the surface. Zig Rigs are
usually tied from very fine, pre-stretched monofilament hooklinks between
10-15lb breaking strain depending on weed and snags present and most
anglers tend to use hooks between sizes 8-10. The main benefit of the Zig Rig
is that it enables you to present your hookbait right in front of the carp’s face
as they spend many hours swimming in the mid and upper layers of the water.
By experimenting with fishing your rods at different depths you will eventually
find the depth at which the carp are willing to feed and can then change all of
your rods to that magic depth. The best hookbait to use for Zig Rigs is coloured
foam, which is fished in conjunction with a Zig Aligna on your hook.

Cut the hooklink to
the length you require
then tie your hook on
with a Grinner Knot.
Next, place your
chosen colour of foam
into the back of the
special loading tool.
Pass the thin end of the
loading tool through the
loop on the Zig Aligna,
as illustrated above.
Work the tool through
the loop, which will
grip the foam as it
passes through.
The foam is now trapped
inside the Aligna and
can be trimmed to the
size you require.
Take your chosen Zig
Aligna and thread it
onto the hooklength,
thick end first.
Slide the Zig Aligna down
the hooklink and then
position it over the eye
of the hook, like so.
The finished Zig Rig
should look just like this
and is ready to catch
carp up in the water.
Have a number of Zig Rigs tied up
in advance and stored on a Zig
Disc to save time on the bank.

If you are fishing a lake that is less than 15ft deep then a fixed Zig Rig will be fine
to use. However, should you wish to fish lakes any deeper, then casting and playing
hooked carp with rigs over 15ft long can be a real nightmare. In this situation you
would then need to change over to using a Zig Float to create what we call an
Adjustable Zig Rig. An Adjustable Zig works on the same mechanics as a marker
float, in that you can take line off of the reel and wind line onto the reel to move the
float up and down through the water column. The float, however unlike a marker is
fished ‘inline style’ with your Zig Rig hooklink (3ft long) exiting the top of the float. A
great benefit of using a Zig Float is that you can adjust the depth at which your Zig
Aligna hookbait is sat at without having to reel in and tie a new rig. This saves lots of
time and keeps disturbance to a minimum, which is a big edge! When constructing
the Adjustable Zig Rig, try using the Mini Halo Zig Float Kit, which works with leads
as light as 2oz. The Mini Halo comes with different coloured tops allowing you to see
the float when it rises to the surface even at long range and in poor light conditions.
The Mini Halo Adjustable Zig Float allows you to change the depth
your Zig is fishing at without tying a new rig or recasting.
Simply add line to
or take off line from
the reel to adjust the
height your hookbait
is fishing at.
Start by threading the lead
boom from the kit onto
your main line, like so.
The hooklink and
anti-tangle sleeve are
attached to the swivel.
The Adjustable Zig Rig
is now complete and
ready for action.
Now attach the lead of
your choice to the bottom
of the lead boom.
Next, thread the Mini
Halo Zig Float onto your
main line, thin end first.
Tie a Quick Change Swivel
to the end of the main line
with a Palomar Knot.

ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR RIGS FOR
PRESENTING SNOWMAN AND CRITICALLY
BALANCED HOOKBAITS, THE BLOW
BACK RIG IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF
AN ANTI-EJECT PRESENTATION...
The Blow Back Rig is one of the most popular rigs in carp fishing, quite simply
because over many years it has proven to be incredibly effective in helping angler’s
trick wary carp. This rig involves tying a small rig ring onto the Hair, which is then
slid onto the hook so that it can run up and down the shank. The idea behind its
mechanics is that should a carp pick up your hookbait and rig and then sense
danger it will try to spit everything out, however as it spits the hookbait out the
ring will slide up the shank leaving the hook still in place to grab hold of the
bottom lip. In order to maximise the effectiveness of this rig we recommend that
you use a long shank hook, with the Arma Point LS and Kuro S1 patterns being
among the best. Our team of consultants also report that the rig is at its most
effective when tied from a coated braid material such as the Coretex Matt or
Camotex with the coating removed to create a supple Hair and hinged effect.

Start by carefully cutting
yourself a 10ins length

Soft material.
Thread your chosen
hookbaits onto the loop
and secure in place with
an Edges Extender Stop.
Tie a 2.5mm Kuro

The next step is to
thread your longshank
hook through the rig
ring, as illustrated.
Position the ring at the top
of the bend of the hook
and then secure the hook
with a knotless knot.
You will then need to
carefully strip away
3ins of outer coating to
expose the supple braid.
Now tie a simple overhand
loop in the end of the
exposed braid, as shown
as part of the Hair.
Now place a 1cm
length of Trans Khaki

eye of the hook.
Try substituting the
shrink tube for a Fox

THE WITHY POOL RIG IS PERHAPS
ONE OF THE STRANGEST LOOKING
RIGS IN MODERN CARP FISHING,
BUT WHEN A CARP SUCKS IT IN
IT VERY RARELY SPITS IT OUT
WITHOUT GETTING HOOKED!
Top carper Steve Renyard, invented the Withy Pool Rig back in the
late 1980’s when he was trying to outwit the very tricky carp that
resided in the historic Withy Pool fishery in Bedfordshire. The rig
was incredibly effective for Steve and his friends and over the past
25-years has grown a reputation as one of the very best anti-eject
pop-up rigs ever designed. The rig is particularly effective when
fishing a boilie-only approach and tends to be more suited to tricking
carp in excess of 20lb as it does represent a big mouthful for a carp
to suck in (part of what makes it so hard to eject). The basic design
of the Withy Pool involves using a long piece of shrink tube to create
a large curve in the shank of the hook almost creating a circle hook
effect. Creating the curve in the shrink tube can be a little fiddly and
also time consuming so these days the vast majority of anglers opt
to use a pre-formed sleeve such as Fox’s Withy Pool Adaptors.

IF YOU ARE TARGETING PRESSURED
CARP THAT HAVE SEEN EVERY TRICK
IN THE BOOK THEN YOU NEED TO TRY
THE 360 RIG AS IT IS ONE OF THE BEST
ANTI-EJECT RIGS EVER DESIGNED...
This rig gets its name from the fact that your hook is free to spin a full 360 degrees.
It makes the rig incredibly flexible and with so much movement it is very hard for
a carp to spit your hookbait out without the hook grabbing hold of some part of its
lip. The 360 degree movement in the rig produced by placing the small eye of a
size 11 Flexi Ring Swivel onto the shank of the hook (your Coretex Matt hooklink is
then attached to the ring on the eye at the other end of the swivel). The swivel can
not only fully rotate around the shank of the hook but also the swivel itself spins
giving incredible degrees of flexibility. In addition the swivel can also move up and
down the shank of the hook too, which adds yet another dimension of flexibility
to the rig and further increases its hooking capabilities. The rig was primarily
designed to be fished with a pop-up hookbait but many anglers have also found
great success when using it with snowmen and balanced bottom baits too.

THE COMPONENTS THAT
WE RECOMMEND FOR
TYING THE 360 RIG.
Cut 10ins of Coretex Matt and
attach one end to a size 11 Flexi
Ring Swivel with a Grinner Knot.
Add a couple of blobs of Power
Grip putty to the hooklink and
your 360 Rig is complete.
Slide a Medium Pear Rig Ring onto
the shank followed by another
Hook Bead and position like so.
Take your size 6 Arma Point LSC
hook and hook it through the
small ring on the swivel, like so.
Next, take an Edges Hook Bead
and thread it onto the shank of
the hook into this position.
HOW TO TIE THE 360 RIG
Tie your chosen pop-up hookbait
onto the rig ring with some
Bait Floss.
The 360 Rig is most effective when it is fished
in conjunction with a curved, long shank hook.

THERE WILL BE
SEVERAL ANGLING
SITUATIONS WHERE
EJECTING YOUR LEAD
WILL INCREASE YOUR
CHANCES OF LANDING A
CARP. HERE WE SHOW
YOU WHY TO DO IT AND
MORE IMPORTANTLY
HOW TO DO IT...
Your lead weight is essential for helping you to cast your baited
rig a long way and to also help to set your hook when a carp picks
it up. However, there will be times when the lead will be prohibitive
and therefore in certain circumstances the ability to eject the lead after
a carp is hooked can be a real bonus. For example when fishing on venues
that contain snags such as sunken trees or lily pads your lead can get caught
up in the branches/stems and prevent you from being able to reel the fish in.
Therefore if you can eject your lead when it comes into contact with the snags
your chances of landing the fish will be greatly increased. In addition on venues
with lots of weed it can pay to eject the lead on the take and to fish ‘locked up’
so no line can be taken. By fishing in this manner 9 times out of 10 the carp will
rise up to the surface of the lake above the thick weed, which again makes it far
easier to play and land them. Another situation where ejecting the lead can be an
advantage is when using long Zig Rigs say of 5ft+. Having a heavy lead swinging around
whilst playing a carp under the rod tip can at times be problematic and increase the chances of
a hook pull occurring, so many anglers prefer to eject the lead on the take to eliminate this risk.
It may sound an expensive way of fishing to lose a lead but surely that price is worth paying if it
means you can land a carp nice and safely? There are several setups that you can use to eject
your lead and here will detail three safe and effective methods available in the Edges range...

LEAD CLIP
Perhaps the most commonly used lead ejection method; the lead clip not
only has the bonus of ejecting the lead but also enables you to change
your lead size and shape at the drop of hat. A lead clip is basically a
plastic clip with an arm onto which you slide your chosen lead. You
then place a tail rubber over the back of the clip and arm to ensure
that the lead cannot eject on the cast. Depending on how far on you
push the tail rubber will dictate how much pressure is required
to eject the lead. Within the Edges range you will find
two makes of lead clip – the standard Safety Lead
Clip, which works with a size 7 swivel and
the more compact Slik Lead Clip, which
works with a smaller size 10 swivel.
The Slik version has no serrations on
the back of the clip and therefore will eject
the lead under far less pressure than the
Safety Lead Clip, and therefore is best to use
when you want to eject the lead on the take.
Start by attaching a
swivel onto the end of
your leader (here we
are using Submerge).
Take one of the supplied
T-pegs supplied with
the lead clip and place
it into the hole.
Position the lead clip
over the swivel so
the hole lines up with
the swivel eye.
Next, thread a lead clip
onto the Submerge
leader using a gate latch
needle, as shown.
HOW TO SET UP A
LEAD CLIP
Push the T-peg in until
you hear it click into
position. This holds
the clip in place.
Attach your chosen lead
onto the arm of the lead
clip so that it sits in the
recess, as shown.
The next step is to
then thread one of the
tail rubbers onto the
Submerge leader.
Finally position the tail
rubber over the back
of the clip and arm
and you are ready.

WILL REQUIRE TO CREATE

By removing the tail
rubber from the insert
you will drastically reduce
the amount of pressure
required to eject the lead.
INLINE LEAD DROP-OFF
As the use of solid PVA bags continues to grow in
popularity, so does the use of inline leads, which
are the preferred lead of choice for such a tactic.
A drawback of an inline lead however, is that they
are designed to be fished running on the line and
therefore cannot be ejected. That of course is
unless you incorporate the new Inline Drop-Off Kit,
which forms part of the impressive Edges range
from Fox. This setup is very quick and effective and
can be used on main line fished straight through or
on an Armadillo braided leader, Submerge lead-free
leader or on the more traditional leadcore leader.
Attach an Edges Kwik
Change Inline Drop-
Off Swivel to one
end of your leader.
Now place the thick
‘grommet’ over the eye
of the swivel on your
leader as shown here.
Take an Inline Flat
Pear lead, remove the
soft rubber insert and
cut off the thin tail.
Next, thread one of
the inserts from the
Inline Drop-Off Kit
onto your leader.
HOW TO SET UP THE
INLINE LEAD DROP-OFF RIG
Place the ‘grommet’
complete with swivel
into the wider end of
the inline lead, like so.
You can then slide
one of the tail rubbers
supplied in the Drop-Off
Kit over the insert.
Run the leader around
the outside of the lead
and place in the insert
into the top of the lead.
Attach your chosen
hooklink and your
inline drop off setup
is ready for action.

Here we show you how to
eject the lead using the
Chod/heli Buffer Sleeve.
Helicopter Drop-Off
One of the age old problems of using a Helicopter-
style lead setup has been the lack of ability to eject
the lead. This problem has been further highlighted
by anglers using the Chod Rig, as this rig offers
unrivalled presentation for fishing in and around thick
weed, however, due to the lead not ejecting can cause
problems when trying to land a hooked carp. This
headache is now a thing of the past, thanks to a clever
design in the Edges range. Both the Chod/Heli Buffer
Sleeve and Tungsten Chod Bead Kit have a small hole
in the side of the buffer sleeve that sits over the lead.
This small hole enables the angler to set both systems
up in a manner that allows the lead to be ejected.
Tie 2-3cm of overhand
looped Armadillo braid
onto the O Ring, as
illustrated above.
Now tie a Heavy Duty O
Ring to the end of the
main line with a Palomar
Knot (see page 39).
Thread your top bead,
hooklink and Heli/Chod
Buffer Sleeve onto your
main line (see page 11).
HOW TO SET UP a
HELICOPTER DROP-OFF
Thread the Armadillo
loop through the eye
of the swivel on your
chosen lead, like so.
Hook the loop of
Armadillo braid and
bring it back through
the hole, as shown.
Place a gate latch
baiting needle through
the hole in the side of
the buffer sleeve.
Cut a small section of
High Riser dissolvable
foam nugget and
roll it up tightly.
Place the rolled up
nugget into the loop and
your rig is ready to take
the hardest of casts.
Once the High Riser
has melted the lead will
be free to eject under
sufficient pressure
from a hooked fish.
The Edges Tungsten
Chod Bead Kit is
designed to work in
the same manner.

AT THE START OF 2012 FOX LAUNCHED
THE RAPIDE LOAD PVA BAG SYSTEM AND
IT REVOLUTIONISED THE WAY THAT CARP
ANGLERS FISH WITH SOLID PVA BAGS...
For many years solid PVA bags have been underused compared to PVA mesh
due to how tricky and time consuming they were to construct. However,
the Rapide Load PVA Bag System has now meant that this tactic is as fast
and easy to use as mesh and as a result solid PVA bag fishing has never
been more popular! The most common way to fish a solid PVA bag is to
place the lead, hooklink and hookbait inside the bag itself along with some
free offerings, such as micro pellets and boilie crumb. Due to the fact that
the lead and hooklink are inside the bag there is absolutely no chance of
tangles occurring, which is a massive edge in itself. In addition when the
PVA melts you are left with a small pile of free feed with your hookbait
sat on top, like a cherry on a cake, just waiting for a carp to suck it in.

DESPITE SOLID PVA BAGS GROWING
IN POPULARITY SINCE THE LAUNCH
OF THE RAPIDE LOAD SYSTEM
THE USE OF PVA MESH IS STILL
WIDESPREAD AND WHEN USED
CORRECTLY IT CAN GIVE
YOU A MASSIVE EDGE...
The introduction of PVA mesh into carp fishing is without
doubt one of the milestones in carp fishing tackle
development. Poly Vinyl Acetate to give it’s proper
name is a product that completely dissolves when in
water and it comes in many forms including mesh.
This enables anglers to create small bags of free
offerings that can be hooked on and cast out into
the lake so once the PVA has melted a small
pile of attraction is situated right next to the
hookbait. In addition to increasing attraction
these PVA bags also help to prevent your
rig from tangling on the cast and therefore
directly help anglers to catch more carp.

Start by adding your
chosen PVA-friendly
bait to the dispenser.
Next, tie a second
overhand knot just above
the first one, as shown
in the above image.
Take a sharp pair of
scissors and carefully
cut the PVA between
the two knots.
You have now created
a simple, yet highly
effective PVA mesh
bag of free offerings.
Now tightly twist the
PVA directly above your
bait to compact it.
Secure the bag shut by
tying an overhand knot
in the twisted section.

PVA STICKS
As the popularity of PVA grew many switched on anglers began to experiment
with the baits that they used inside the mesh. One tactic that has become very
popular and that is used by many of Fox’s top consultants is the use of oily
groundbait to create what is commonly known as a ‘PVA Stick’. This is basically
constructed using a narrow PVA mesh such as the Fox Super Narrow and is
made by placing a small amount of oily groundbait into the PVA dispenser. You
then take the plunger that is supplied with the PVA Mesh kit and compress the oily
groundbait inside the dispenser. The PVA is then tied off and the stick threaded
down your hooklink using a long gate latch needle such as the Stix Needle.
Due to the groundbait being so compact it explodes once the PVA starts to
melt in the water leaving a fluffy pile of attractive mix around the hookbait.
...will create the
perfect PVA stick!

DURING THE WARMER MONTHS YOUR BEST CHANCE
OF CATCHING CARP WILL OFTEN BE BY FISHING
FOR THEM WITH BAITS ON THE SURFACE, SO
MASTERING FLOATER FISHING CAN BE A BIG EDGE!
Quite surprisingly there are still many carp anglers
that do not include surface fishing into their angling
armoury, which is a shame as there is no doubt that
they are missing out! Carp love the sun and tend to
take every opportunity to rise up in the water and bask
under the sun’s rays. This means they can spend hours
on end on the surface and therefore fishing baits on
the lakebed or even mid-water on Zigs can often be
fruitless. In these situations you really are much better
off using a controller float and floating hookbait such
as a piece of trimmed down cork or a whittled down
pop-up boilie and presenting a bait right where they
are. It is worth noting that carp can often be a little
cautious when up on top, so it is recommended that
you spend some time feeding them with free offerings
such as floating dog or cat biscuits until they are eating
with confidence before casting the baited rig out.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST
EDGES YOU CAN HAVE IN
YOUR CARP FISHING IS THE
SKILL OF WATERCRAFT AND
THE ABILITY TO LOCATE
FEATURES THAT CARP WILL
BE WILLING TO FEED ON...
The art of feature finding is not something that
can be learned overnight or simply by reading this
guide. This is a skill that develops over years of
practice and as you become more experienced you
will grow a natural feeling for it. However, in order
to master the art of feature finding it is important
that you have the correct tools and use them in the
correct way. Key to this is a marker rod and marker
float plus a reel that is spooled up with specialist
braided main line. The braided main line had no
stretch and so as you pull the lead of your marker
setup along the lakebed it will transmit every little
hump and bump back to your rod tip. Then once
you have found something that feels interesting you
can simply count the float to the surface 1ft at a
time (achieved by letting line from your reel using
free spool or clutch) to gauge the depth of water.

GRAVEL
This feature is the most obvious to feel for as you
will experience a sharp tap, tap, tap sensation on
WEED
Weed is another feature that is easy to locate with
a marker rod as you will feel the lead lock up and
struggle to retrieve it initially. With steady pressure
the lead should pull free but when you reel it in there
should still be strands of weed around the lead that
give away its presence. If you wish to fish in the weed
then a Chod Rig is ideal as it allows you to fish on top
of the weed, however, most people prefer to fish a
clear area next to thick weed, and so in this instance
you could revert back to the standard bottom bait rig.
SILT
Silt can be either very thick in which case you will feel a steady resistance on your
lead as you pull it along the lakebed. Your lead will also often come in smelling
rather foul and this is a giveaway that the silt is thick and not very pleasant – an
area worth avoiding! Silt can also be very hard and smooth and your lead will
glide over it like a pane of glass. This clean silt is the perfect place to position
a bait and often a favourite feeding area of a carp. In fact if you can locate a
smooth, hard area of silt either next to gravel or weed this can be a real hotspot
and is the type of feature that most Fox consultants are looking for on venues.
Start by threading the lead
boom from the Exocet kit onto
your braided main line.
Next, thread two buffer beads from
the kit onto the braided line like so.
You will then need to attach the
Exocet marker float to the line
with a 5-turn Grinner Knot.
Slide the buffer beads back
down the line and into the
following positions.

Many lakes have gravel bars and seams and these
areas can often be shallower than the areas around
them and are major holding areas for carp. The
bottom here is often very clean and hard so if you
fish on gravel it is often better to use a bottom bait
or snowman rather than a blatant high pop-up.

CATAPULT
The catapult is perhaps the most commonly used
baiting tool, which is no surprise it is definitely the
easiest to master. Catapults come in all manner of
shapes and sizes and within the Fox range you will
find catapults that have been especially designed
for groundbait balls, pellets, particles and boilies.
Catapults are a very accurate way of baiting but do
have a limit of 50-60yds really but at short to medium
range they do allow you to get bait out very quickly.
THROWING STICK
Throwing sticks are not the easiest tool to get to grips with but after a bit of
practice it will become second nature. This item is designed specifically for
baiting with boilies and is best suited for range of 50-100yds. They are perfect
for creating a spread of boilies across your targeted area, which gets the carp
moving between each mouthful, which can make them easier to hook.
SPOD
Spods are a fantastic tool and enable you to bait very
accurately with all manner of baits at ranges in excess
of 150yds. Within the Fox Exocet Spod range you will
find three types of spod to suit the situation you are
faced with. By using the line clip on your spod reel and
picking a mark on the horizon after a bit of practice you
will be able to land spod after spod on the same area to
create a tight patch of free offerings. When it comes to
creating a spod mix the only limit is your imagination!
The catapult is great for introducing feed
with accuracy at short-medium range.
Once mastered you can use the throwing stick to
create a spread of boilies at medium-long range.
Spods can be used to bait accurately with
all manner of baits at all ranges.
Start by adding some
freshly prepared
hemp into a bucket.
Now add some golden
grains of sweetcorn
to the hemp.
Add some of your
favourite boilies in whole
and crumbed form.
Give it all a mix and you
have a very simple yet
effective spod mix.

In addition we have also covered the basics of feature finding and bait application and also included illustrated diagrams of all of the key knots that are required by the modern carp angler. Whatever your carp fishing experience and wherever you live in the world there is one thing that all carp anglers share in common – we are all looking for an edge, something that can give us the upper hand not only over the carp but also our fellow anglers. We have therefore packed this guide with countless edges to help ensure that this year is your most successful ever! We hope you enjoy it and find it useful.

  • 5. 5 Colour Break Technology is used on many Edges products to greatly aid concealment. The Edges range has been developed alongside top diver Rob Hughes to ensure it offers the ultimate in camouflage and concealment. LEADERS When selecting a leader it is important that the product you select has good sinking properties, is limp enough to follow the contours of the lakebed, can offer resistance to abrasion and most importantly will blend in with the lakebed you are fishing over. Leadcore is perhaps the most popular style of leader due to its incredible density and great abrasion resistance. However, in recent years fisheries have started to ban the product due to misuse by some inexperienced anglers, and this has led to an increased popularity in lead-free alternatives. The beauty with lead-free leaders such as Submerge is that they are unbelievably supple yet still very dense. This means they sink like a brick and hug the contours perfectly therefore reducing the chances of a carp coming into contact with them and spooking. The Submerge leader is very easy to splice and is also very strong once spliced. The final type of leader material that you can use is a braided leader, such as the Armadillo. These braided leaders are dual purpose and can be used both as a shockleader when distance casting with heavy leads and also as a snag leader when fishing snaggy venues. Usually most snag/ shock leaders are not designed with camouflage in mind, however, the Armadillo bucks that trend and features the same Dark and Light Camo technology as the Edges Camo Leadcore, Reflex Camo and Camotex hooklink materials. So now when you need to use a snag or shockleader you can do so in complete confidence that they will not hinder your chances of success. The suppleness of lead-free leaders makes them a great alternative to leadcore. Leadcore is a popular leader material as it is incredibly dense. The ability to use a camouflaged shock/ snag leader is a massive edge. In order not to arouse the suspicions of wary carp it is important that you choose rig components that blend in well with the lakebed you are fishing over. During the development of the Edges range we spent countless hours working closely with top underwater diver Rob Hughes to ensure the camouflage and colour patterns used were the best match possible. What became very clear from Rob’s findings was that no lakebed is made up of just one solid colour and that most lakebeds have many different shades. It is therefore impossible to design a product that completely matches every single lakebed, however, after hours of painstaking research and development our team of product developers managed to come up with designs that could adapt to a whole host of different lakebeds and ensure that you have a massive ‘edge’ when targeting rig-shy carp. These designs are Light and Dark Camo, the Light Camo being perfect for fresh weed, clay, sand and clean gravel and the Dark Camo being suited to silt, darker gravel, dying weed and debris. Fox Rig Guide_1-23.indd 5 07/05/2013 12:31:33
  • 6. FIND’EM | FEED’EM | FOX’EM 6 HOOKLINKS When it comes to choosing a hooklink material whether it is mono, braid or coated braid it is important that you select one that will match the lakebed on which you are presenting your hookbait. In addition it is also key to have your hooklink pinned to the lakebed, which can be achieved by using Tungsten Hooklink Sinkers or Power Grip Putty. COMPONENTS Carp fishing is all about percentages and the more things you can put in your favour the more successful you will be. Therefore when selecting components such as shrink tube, lead clips, anti-tangle sleeves, tail rubbers, buffer beads etc make sure you select ones that have good camouflage properties. Again through the extensive diving work with Rob Hughes we have managed to develop the Trans Khaki colour for our components that we have found blends in very well with all manner of different lakebeds. Finally make sure you use a lead that matches the lakebed as well, remember – play the percentages! TOP Adding Tungsten Hooklink Sinkers to your rigs can help to pin them to the lakebed and prevent carp spooking. Carry a selection of hooklink colours and patterns to cover all bases. The new Trans Khaki components are designed to blend in with a host of different lakebeds... Chilly’s army background taught him the importance of camouflage and concealment. Fox Rig Guide_1-23.indd 6 07/05/2013 12:31:53
  • 7. 7 When fishing at short-medium range the use of slack lines will make a big difference in your bid to conceal your end tackle on the lakebed. Fox Rig Guide_1-23.indd 7 07/05/2013 12:32:08

The Naked Chod Rig is designed to be fished with an ultra-buoyant pop- up hookbait and is used for fishing over weed and/or soft debris such as thick silt, dead leaves etc. It is based on a Helicopter rig design whereby your hooklink is situated on your main line, with your lead tied to the end of that line. This means that your lead will land on the lakebed first with your hooklink following behind and due to the buoyancy of the hookbait the hooklink will slowly sink down through the water and land on top of any debris leaving perfect presentation. You can fish the hooklink ‘fixed’ a set distance above the lead using the Edges Tungsten Chod Bead, which grips the line very securely (make sure this distance is greater than the depth of ‘Chod’ you are fishing on) or fished free running on the line with a 5mm Edges Tungsten Bead positioned on a Tapered Main Line Sinker set above the hooklink a few inches deeper than the ‘Chod’ or weed you are fishing on.

  • 9. 1 5 2 3 4 86 7 9 THE COMPONENTS YOU WILL REQUIRE TO CREATE A CHOD HOOKLINK. Carefully blob the tag end of the Hair with a lighter to set the ‘D’ into position. Attach a size 11 Flexi Ring Swivel to the end of the hooklink with a 2-Turn Blood Knot. Place the end of the Hair through the back of the eye of the hook to create a ‘D’ shape. Cut 4ins of Rigidity and attach a hook to one end with a knotless knot leaving a short Hair. Place a Mini Hook Ring Swivel onto the tag of the Hair as illustrated in the image above. HOW TO CREATE A CHOD HOOKLINK Place the hooklink onto a Chod/Withy Bin and hold it over a steaming kettle for 4 seconds. You have now created the perfect hooklink to be fished on a Naked Chod Rig. Mould some Power Grip putty over the eye of the swivel to counter balance the pop-up. MAIN LINE COMPONENTS When fishing the Naked Chod Rig you will simply fish your main line straight through to the lead. In order to counter balance the buoyancy of the pop-up hookbait we recommend that you use a fluorocarbon main line such as the Illusion XS as this a heavier line than monofilament. When fishing a running Naked Chod with your hooklink swivel on the main line previously you have had the risk of the swivel cutting through the line when playing a carp. However, by using the Edges Chod/Heli Buffer Sleeve you can offer your line maximum protection as the hooklink swivel slides onto the sleeve during the fight. HOOKLINK To create the perfect Chod hooklink you will need to use an ultra-stiff bristle filament material such as Rigidity in 20 or 25lb. You can set the length of the hooklink to your preferred choice but a good starting point is 2.5ins. At one end of the hooklink attach your hook with a knotless knot and create a ‘D’ Rig whilst at the other end attach a size 11 ring swivel. On the ‘D’ place a Mini Hook Ring Swivel, which you can then attach your hookbait to. It is important to create a nice progressive curve in your short hooklink so that it can grab hold of the bottom lip when a carp sucks it in, this is made very easy by using a Steam & Store Chod/Withy Bin, which allows you to create the perfect curve over a steaming kettle every time.

Place the swivel of your Chod Rig hooklink onto the recess on the bead as shown. Thread the second half of the Chod Bead on. This will grip the line very tightly so add saliva to the line first. Now thread your Chod Rig hooklink section (see page 9) onto the main line, as shown. CREATE A FIXED NAKED CHOD RIG Pass some floss through the swivel and thread hookbait onto floss. Blob the molten tag against the bait with the lighter to secure! Slide hookbait onto swivel so the swivel barrel plugs inside. Carefully burn the tag ends with a lighter so they set on fire. ATTACH YOUR HOOKBAIT WITH THE BLOB METHOD Now place the two parts of the bead together, as illustrated in the image above. Tie on your lead and slide the buffer sleeve into position over the swivel of the lead. Thread the buffer sleeve from the kit onto the line with the female end towards the bead. Set the Chod Bead to the distance above the lead that you require and the ‘Fixed Chod’ is complete. When playing a fish the bead will slide down the line and connect into the buffer sleeve to offer ultimate protection and shock absorption during the fight.

The Hinged Stiff was originally designed many moons ago by rig guru Mike Kavanagh and has since become popularised by many of carp fishing’s biggest names. The rig works in a very similar way to the Naked Chod Rig that we have just covered and in fact the hook section of this rig is exactly the same as a Chod Rig hooklink! The difference here is that we attach a stiff boom (tied from either Camotex Stiff or Illusion fluorocarbon) of 6-8ins to the ring on the ‘Chod’ hooklink to give the rig a greater degree of flexibility. The boom section can then be fished in conjunction with a lead clip arrangement or as a helicopter setup depending on personal preference. The rig is at its best when fished in conjunction with a buoyant pop-up boilie hookbait over a spread of boilie free offerings. Fox Rig Guide_1-23.indd 12 07/05/2013 12:33:01

ZIG THE RIG ZIGZIGZIGZIGZIGZIG THETHE FIND’EM | FEED’EM | FOX’EM 14 CARP TEND TO SPEND MUCH OF THE DAY AND INDEED NIGHT FEEDING UP IN THE WATER AWAY FROM THE LAKEBED SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO MASTER THE ZIG RIG TO CATCH THEM IN THESE AREAS! The Zig Rig put simply is a buoyant hookbait fished directly off the lead on a long hooklink of anywhere between 1ft and up to the surface. Zig Rigs are usually tied from very fine, pre-stretched monofilament hooklinks between 10-15lb breaking strain depending on weed and snags present and most anglers tend to use hooks between sizes 8-10. The main benefit of the Zig Rig is that it enables you to present your hookbait right in front of the carp’s face as they spend many hours swimming in the mid and upper layers of the water. By experimenting with fishing your rods at different depths you will eventually find the depth at which the carp are willing to feed and can then change all of your rods to that magic depth. The best hookbait to use for Zig Rigs is coloured foam, which is fished in conjunction with a Zig Aligna on your hook. Fox Rig Guide_1-23.indd 14 07/05/2013 12:33:19
  • 15. 1 2 3 5 4 6 7 8 15 Cut the hooklink to the length you require then tie your hook on with a Grinner Knot. Next, place your chosen colour of foam into the back of the special loading tool. Pass the thin end of the loading tool through the loop on the Zig Aligna, as illustrated above. Work the tool through the loop, which will grip the foam as it passes through. The foam is now trapped inside the Aligna and can be trimmed to the size you require. Take your chosen Zig Aligna and thread it onto the hooklength, thick end first. Slide the Zig Aligna down the hooklink and then position it over the eye of the hook, like so. The finished Zig Rig should look just like this and is ready to catch carp up in the water.

  • 17. 1 2 6 3 4 5 17 TOP If you are fishing a lake that is less than 15ft deep then a fixed Zig Rig will be fine to use. However, should you wish to fish lakes any deeper, then casting and playing hooked carp with rigs over 15ft long can be a real nightmare. In this situation you would then need to change over to using a Zig Float to create what we call an Adjustable Zig Rig. An Adjustable Zig works on the same mechanics as a marker float, in that you can take line off of the reel and wind line onto the reel to move the float up and down through the water column. The float, however unlike a marker is fished ‘inline style’ with your Zig Rig hooklink (3ft long) exiting the top of the float. A great benefit of using a Zig Float is that you can adjust the depth at which your Zig Aligna hookbait is sat at without having to reel in and tie a new rig. This saves lots of time and keeps disturbance to a minimum, which is a big edge! When constructing the Adjustable Zig Rig, try using the Mini Halo Zig Float Kit, which works with leads as light as 2oz. The Mini Halo comes with different coloured tops allowing you to see the float when it rises to the surface even at long range and in poor light conditions. The Mini Halo Adjustable Zig Float allows you to change the depth your Zig is fishing at without tying a new rig or recasting. Simply add line to or take off line from the reel to adjust the height your hookbait is fishing at. Start by threading the lead boom from the kit onto your main line, like so. The hooklink and anti-tangle sleeve are attached to the swivel. The Adjustable Zig Rig is now complete and ready for action. Now attach the lead of your choice to the bottom of the lead boom. Next, thread the Mini Halo Zig Float onto your main line, thin end first. Tie a Quick Change Swivel to the end of the main line with a Palomar Knot.

The Blow Back Rig is one of the most popular rigs in carp fishing, quite simply because over many years it has proven to be incredibly effective in helping angler’s trick wary carp. This rig involves tying a small rig ring onto the Hair, which is then slid onto the hook so that it can run up and down the shank. The idea behind its mechanics is that should a carp pick up your hookbait and rig and then sense danger it will try to spit everything out, however as it spits the hookbait out the ring will slide up the shank leaving the hook still in place to grab hold of the bottom lip. In order to maximise the effectiveness of this rig we recommend that you use a long shank hook, with the Arma Point LS and Kuro S1 patterns being among the best. Our team of consultants also report that the rig is at its most effective when tied from a coated braid material such as the Coretex Matt or Camotex with the coating removed to create a supple Hair and hinged effect.

The next step is to thread your longshank hook through the rig ring, as illustrated. Position the ring at the top of the bend of the hook and then secure the hook with a knotless knot. You will then need to carefully strip away 3ins of outer coating to expose the supple braid. Now tie a simple overhand loop in the end of the exposed braid, as shown as part of the Hair.

Top carper Steve Renyard, invented the Withy Pool Rig back in the late 1980’s when he was trying to outwit the very tricky carp that resided in the historic Withy Pool fishery in Bedfordshire. The rig was incredibly effective for Steve and his friends and over the past 25-years has grown a reputation as one of the very best anti-eject pop-up rigs ever designed. The rig is particularly effective when fishing a boilie-only approach and tends to be more suited to tricking carp in excess of 20lb as it does represent a big mouthful for a carp to suck in (part of what makes it so hard to eject). The basic design of the Withy Pool involves using a long piece of shrink tube to create a large curve in the shank of the hook almost creating a circle hook effect. Creating the curve in the shrink tube can be a little fiddly and also time consuming so these days the vast majority of anglers opt to use a pre-formed sleeve such as Fox’s Withy Pool Adaptors.

This rig gets its name from the fact that your hook is free to spin a full 360 degrees. It makes the rig incredibly flexible and with so much movement it is very hard for a carp to spit your hookbait out without the hook grabbing hold of some part of its lip. The 360 degree movement in the rig produced by placing the small eye of a size 11 Flexi Ring Swivel onto the shank of the hook (your Coretex Matt hooklink is then attached to the ring on the eye at the other end of the swivel). The swivel can not only fully rotate around the shank of the hook but also the swivel itself spins giving incredible degrees of flexibility. In addition the swivel can also move up and down the shank of the hook too, which adds yet another dimension of flexibility to the rig and further increases its hooking capabilities. The rig was primarily designed to be fished with a pop-up hookbait but many anglers have also found great success when using it with snowmen and balanced bottom baits too.

  • 24. LEADLEADLEADEJECTION FIND’EM | FEED’EM | FOX’EM 24 THERE WILL BE SEVERAL ANGLING SITUATIONS WHERE EJECTING YOUR LEAD WILL INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF LANDING A CARP. HERE WE SHOW YOU WHY TO DO IT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY HOW TO DO IT... Your lead weight is essential for helping you to cast your baited rig a long way and to also help to set your hook when a carp picks it up. However, there will be times when the lead will be prohibitive and therefore in certain circumstances the ability to eject the lead after a carp is hooked can be a real bonus. For example when fishing on venues that contain snags such as sunken trees or lily pads your lead can get caught up in the branches/stems and prevent you from being able to reel the fish in. Therefore if you can eject your lead when it comes into contact with the snags your chances of landing the fish will be greatly increased. In addition on venues with lots of weed it can pay to eject the lead on the take and to fish ‘locked up’ so no line can be taken. By fishing in this manner 9 times out of 10 the carp will rise up to the surface of the lake above the thick weed, which again makes it far easier to play and land them. Another situation where ejecting the lead can be an advantage is when using long Zig Rigs say of 5ft+. Having a heavy lead swinging around whilst playing a carp under the rod tip can at times be problematic and increase the chances of a hook pull occurring, so many anglers prefer to eject the lead on the take to eliminate this risk. It may sound an expensive way of fishing to lose a lead but surely that price is worth paying if it means you can land a carp nice and safely? There are several setups that you can use to eject your lead and here will detail three safe and effective methods available in the Edges range... Fox Rig Guide_24-48.indd 24 07/05/2013 12:48:04
  • 25. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 25 LEAD CLIP Perhaps the most commonly used lead ejection method; the lead clip not only has the bonus of ejecting the lead but also enables you to change your lead size and shape at the drop of hat. A lead clip is basically a plastic clip with an arm onto which you slide your chosen lead. You then place a tail rubber over the back of the clip and arm to ensure that the lead cannot eject on the cast. Depending on how far on you push the tail rubber will dictate how much pressure is required to eject the lead. Within the Edges range you will find two makes of lead clip – the standard Safety Lead Clip, which works with a size 7 swivel and the more compact Slik Lead Clip, which works with a smaller size 10 swivel. The Slik version has no serrations on the back of the clip and therefore will eject the lead under far less pressure than the Safety Lead Clip, and therefore is best to use when you want to eject the lead on the take. Start by attaching a swivel onto the end of your leader (here we are using Submerge). Take one of the supplied T-pegs supplied with the lead clip and place it into the hole. Position the lead clip over the swivel so the hole lines up with the swivel eye. Next, thread a lead clip onto the Submerge leader using a gate latch needle, as shown. HOW TO SET UP A LEAD CLIP Push the T-peg in until you hear it click into position. This holds the clip in place. Attach your chosen lead onto the arm of the lead clip so that it sits in the recess, as shown. The next step is to then thread one of the tail rubbers onto the Submerge leader. Finally position the tail rubber over the back of the clip and arm and you are ready. THE COMPONENTS THAT YOU WILL REQUIRE TO CREATE A LEAD CLIP SETUP. Fox Rig Guide_24-48.indd 25 07/05/2013 12:48:30
  • 26. FIND’EM | FEED’EM | FOX’EM 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 26 By removing the tail rubber from the insert you will drastically reduce the amount of pressure required to eject the lead. INLINE LEAD DROP-OFF As the use of solid PVA bags continues to grow in popularity, so does the use of inline leads, which are the preferred lead of choice for such a tactic. A drawback of an inline lead however, is that they are designed to be fished running on the line and therefore cannot be ejected. That of course is unless you incorporate the new Inline Drop-Off Kit, which forms part of the impressive Edges range from Fox. This setup is very quick and effective and can be used on main line fished straight through or on an Armadillo braided leader, Submerge lead-free leader or on the more traditional leadcore leader. Attach an Edges Kwik Change Inline Drop- Off Swivel to one end of your leader. Now place the thick ‘grommet’ over the eye of the swivel on your leader as shown here. Take an Inline Flat Pear lead, remove the soft rubber insert and cut off the thin tail. Next, thread one of the inserts from the Inline Drop-Off Kit onto your leader. HOW TO SET UP THE INLINE LEAD DROP-OFF RIG Place the ‘grommet’ complete with swivel into the wider end of the inline lead, like so. You can then slide one of the tail rubbers supplied in the Drop-Off Kit over the insert. Run the leader around the outside of the lead and place in the insert into the top of the lead. Attach your chosen hooklink and your inline drop off setup is ready for action. THE COMPONENTS THAT YOU WILL REQUIRE TO CONSTRUCT THIS SETUP (WE HAVE CHOSEN CAMO LEADCORE FOR THE LEADER).

  • 27. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 27 Here we show you how to eject the lead using the Chod/heli Buffer Sleeve. Helicopter Drop-Off One of the age old problems of using a Helicopter- style lead setup has been the lack of ability to eject the lead. This problem has been further highlighted by anglers using the Chod Rig, as this rig offers unrivalled presentation for fishing in and around thick weed, however, due to the lead not ejecting can cause problems when trying to land a hooked carp. This headache is now a thing of the past, thanks to a clever design in the Edges range. Both the Chod/Heli Buffer Sleeve and Tungsten Chod Bead Kit have a small hole in the side of the buffer sleeve that sits over the lead. This small hole enables the angler to set both systems up in a manner that allows the lead to be ejected. Tie 2-3cm of overhand looped Armadillo braid onto the O Ring, as illustrated above. Now tie a Heavy Duty O Ring to the end of the main line with a Palomar Knot (see page 39). Thread your top bead, hooklink and Heli/Chod Buffer Sleeve onto your main line (see page 11). HOW TO SET UP a HELICOPTER DROP-OFF Thread the Armadillo loop through the eye of the swivel on your chosen lead, like so. Hook the loop of Armadillo braid and bring it back through the hole, as shown. Place a gate latch baiting needle through the hole in the side of the buffer sleeve. Cut a small section of High Riser dissolvable foam nugget and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled up nugget into the loop and your rig is ready to take the hardest of casts. Once the High Riser has melted the lead will be free to eject under sufficient pressure from a hooked fish. The Edges Tungsten Chod Bead Kit is designed to work in the same manner. top Fox Rig Guide_24-48.indd 27 07/05/2013 12:48:55

For many years solid PVA bags have been underused compared to PVA mesh due to how tricky and time consuming they were to construct. However, the Rapide Load PVA Bag System has now meant that this tactic is as fast and easy to use as mesh and as a result solid PVA bag fishing has never been more popular! The most common way to fish a solid PVA bag is to place the lead, hooklink and hookbait inside the bag itself along with some free offerings, such as micro pellets and boilie crumb. Due to the fact that the lead and hooklink are inside the bag there is absolutely no chance of tangles occurring, which is a massive edge in itself. In addition when the PVA melts you are left with a small pile of free feed with your hookbait sat on top, like a cherry on a cake, just waiting for a carp to suck it in.

The introduction of PVA mesh into carp fishing is without doubt one of the milestones in carp fishing tackle development. Poly Vinyl Acetate to give it’s proper name is a product that completely dissolves when in water and it comes in many forms including mesh. This enables anglers to create small bags of free offerings that can be hooked on and cast out into the lake so once the PVA has melted a small pile of attraction is situated right next to the hookbait. In addition to increasing attraction these PVA bags also help to prevent your rig from tangling on the cast and therefore directly help anglers to catch more carp.

  • 31. 1 2 5 3 64 31 Start by adding your chosen PVA-friendly bait to the dispenser. Next, tie a second overhand knot just above the first one, as shown in the above image. Take a sharp pair of scissors and carefully cut the PVA between the two knots. You have now created a simple, yet highly effective PVA mesh bag of free offerings. Now tightly twist the PVA directly above your bait to compact it. Secure the bag shut by tying an overhand knot in the twisted section. HOW TO TIE A MESH BAG TOP The addition of a PVA stick or bag to your rig will help to prevent tangles, aid presentation and increase attraction around your hookbait. PVA STICKS As the popularity of PVA grew many switched on anglers began to experiment with the baits that they used inside the mesh. One tactic that has become very popular and that is used by many of Fox’s top consultants is the use of oily groundbait to create what is commonly known as a ‘PVA Stick’. This is basically constructed using a narrow PVA mesh such as the Fox Super Narrow and is made by placing a small amount of oily groundbait into the PVA dispenser. You then take the plunger that is supplied with the PVA Mesh kit and compress the oily groundbait inside the dispenser. The PVA is then tied off and the stick threaded down your hooklink using a long gate latch needle such as the Stix Needle. Due to the groundbait being so compact it explodes once the PVA starts to melt in the water leaving a fluffy pile of attractive mix around the hookbait. ...will create the perfect PVA stick!

Quite surprisingly there are still many carp anglers that do not include surface fishing into their angling armoury, which is a shame as there is no doubt that they are missing out! Carp love the sun and tend to take every opportunity to rise up in the water and bask under the sun’s rays. This means they can spend hours on end on the surface and therefore fishing baits on the lakebed or even mid-water on Zigs can often be fruitless. In these situations you really are much better off using a controller float and floating hookbait such as a piece of trimmed down cork or a whittled down pop-up boilie and presenting a bait right where they are. It is worth noting that carp can often be a little cautious when up on top, so it is recommended that you spend some time feeding them with free offerings such as floating dog or cat biscuits until they are eating with confidence before casting the baited rig out.

The art of feature finding is not something that can be learned overnight or simply by reading this guide. This is a skill that develops over years of practice and as you become more experienced you will grow a natural feeling for it. However, in order to master the art of feature finding it is important that you have the correct tools and use them in the correct way. Key to this is a marker rod and marker float plus a reel that is spooled up with specialist braided main line. The braided main line had no stretch and so as you pull the lead of your marker setup along the lakebed it will transmit every little hump and bump back to your rod tip. Then once you have found something that feels interesting you can simply count the float to the surface 1ft at a time (achieved by letting line from your reel using free spool or clutch) to gauge the depth of water.

  • 35. 4 3 5 1 6 2 35 GRAVEL This feature is the most obvious to feel for as you will experience a sharp tap, tap, tap sensation on WEED Weed is another feature that is easy to locate with a marker rod as you will feel the lead lock up and struggle to retrieve it initially. With steady pressure the lead should pull free but when you reel it in there should still be strands of weed around the lead that give away its presence. If you wish to fish in the weed then a Chod Rig is ideal as it allows you to fish on top of the weed, however, most people prefer to fish a clear area next to thick weed, and so in this instance you could revert back to the standard bottom bait rig. SILT Silt can be either very thick in which case you will feel a steady resistance on your lead as you pull it along the lakebed. Your lead will also often come in smelling rather foul and this is a giveaway that the silt is thick and not very pleasant – an area worth avoiding! Silt can also be very hard and smooth and your lead will glide over it like a pane of glass. This clean silt is the perfect place to position a bait and often a favourite feeding area of a carp. In fact if you can locate a smooth, hard area of silt either next to gravel or weed this can be a real hotspot and is the type of feature that most Fox consultants are looking for on venues. Start by threading the lead boom from the Exocet kit onto your braided main line. Next, thread two buffer beads from the kit onto the braided line like so. You will then need to attach the Exocet marker float to the line with a 5-turn Grinner Knot. Slide the buffer beads back down the line and into the following positions. HOW TO SETUP A MARKER FLOAT Attach the Explorer Feature Finding Lead to the bottom of the lead boom and the setup is complete. TOP Braided main line has no stretch so is far more sensitive when feature finding. Smell your lead to see whether you are fishing on clean or dirty silt. The components you require to create a marker float setup. your rod tip as the lead runs over the little stones. Many lakes have gravel bars and seams and these areas can often be shallower than the areas around them and are major holding areas for carp. The bottom here is often very clean and hard so if you fish on gravel it is often better to use a bottom bait or snowman rather than a blatant high pop-up.

  • 37. 1 2 3 4 37 CATAPULT The catapult is perhaps the most commonly used baiting tool, which is no surprise it is definitely the easiest to master. Catapults come in all manner of shapes and sizes and within the Fox range you will find catapults that have been especially designed for groundbait balls, pellets, particles and boilies. Catapults are a very accurate way of baiting but do have a limit of 50-60yds really but at short to medium range they do allow you to get bait out very quickly. THROWING STICK Throwing sticks are not the easiest tool to get to grips with but after a bit of practice it will become second nature. This item is designed specifically for baiting with boilies and is best suited for range of 50-100yds. They are perfect for creating a spread of boilies across your targeted area, which gets the carp moving between each mouthful, which can make them easier to hook. SPOD Spods are a fantastic tool and enable you to bait very accurately with all manner of baits at ranges in excess of 150yds. Within the Fox Exocet Spod range you will find three types of spod to suit the situation you are faced with. By using the line clip on your spod reel and picking a mark on the horizon after a bit of practice you will be able to land spod after spod on the same area to create a tight patch of free offerings. When it comes to creating a spod mix the only limit is your imagination! The catapult is great for introducing feed with accuracy at short-medium range. Once mastered you can use the throwing stick to create a spread of boilies at medium-long range. Spods can be used to bait accurately with all manner of baits at all ranges. Start by adding some freshly prepared hemp into a bucket. Now add some golden grains of sweetcorn to the hemp. Add some of your favourite boilies in whole and crumbed form. Give it all a mix and you have a very simple yet effective spod mix. HOW TO CREATE A SIMPLE SPOD MIX Get your feeding right and success will follow! Fox Rig Guide_24-48.indd 37 07/05/2013 12:51:59
