What is the best way to catch carp on ledger bomb?

Answer

The Ledger is simply a weight that is attached to the end of a fishing line. For fishing it is essential that the main line from a reel is terminated in a hook length of line that is of slightly lesser strength ie mainline 12lb and terminal line 10lb. This ensures that if the fish breaks the line it is not dragging a long length around the lake.

The set up is simple, we have the main line attached to the weight with a second hook length off the weight with some bait on it. The hook length is of lesser strength.

Often a 'hair rig' will be used. This is where the bait used is attached to the hook by a few millimetre of line. This encourages a fish to take the bait without feeling the hook.

There are many ways of attaching the hook line to the ledger or main line such as a 'helicopter rig'.

I suggest readers do a google search for 'helicopter rig', 'hair rig', 'knotless knot' and ledgering.....
