SEMIFIXED INLINE
This is a presentation that we hardly ever see anglers utilising, which is a real shame as it can be highly effective. It is very simple to create and involves removing the standard insert that comes supplied with the inline lead and replacing it with an Edges Trans Khaki Tadpole Multi Bead. You then thread the lead and Multi Bead onto your main line or leader before attaching the hooklink. The Multi Bead then fixes in place over the swivel that attaches the main line to the hooklink, with your lead then sitting over the Multi Bead. When a carp picks up the hookbait it will feel the force of the lead, which will help to drive the hook home, but then as a carp tries to shake its head to throw the rig out of its mouth the lead will come free and your line be free to pass through the lead. This means the carp cannot use the weight of the lead to shed the hook and so no longer feeling any resistance will swim off at a rate of knots resulting in you getting a screaming one-toner!
The Tadpole Multi Bead is perfect for creating a semi-fixed inline presentation.
CREATE A SEMIFIXED INLINE
1 Thread a Tadpole Multi Bead onto a Submerge leader and position over the swivel.
2 Now remove the standard insert from your inline lead with a pair pliers.
3 Thread the inline lead onto the Submerge leader, thick end first.
4 Position the lead over the Tadpole Multi Bead and attach your chosen rig to complete.
Get out there and give these tips and tricks a go!
Your line will start off ‘fixed’ to the Tadpole Bead...
...but as the carp shakes it’s head the lead will become free running.
