Now attach your main line to a size 10 Quick Change Swivel with a Palomar Knot (see page 39)
5
Now tie a 5ft hooklength from 12lb Zig + Floater Hooklink attaching the hook with a knotless knot.
6
Tie an overhand loop in the other end of the hooklink and thread an anti-tangle sleeve onto it.
Attach the hooklink to the quick change swivel and slide the anti-tangle sleeve over it.
TOP Get the carp feeding confidently on free offerings before you cast your baited rig out.
The finished setup is simple to tie but very effective.

The use of a specialist rod and reel set up will be a big benefit when targeting carp on the top.
