I've been thinking about rigs a bit lately and was wondering if y'all could share with me some of the rigs you use most often for distance work.

Post any pics of your rigs if you can too.

Thanks in advance.

here found this this is a great tutorial on the rig, you just need to be careful when tying it that you don't make a death rig out of it meaning that if your main line where to snap the carp would be tethered to a heavy chunk of lead...

Why do you feel the need to fish at distance? Is the a feature you need to reach? If so how far out?

Carp are creatures of the margins, only moving out due to pressure! We have little pressure.

Master fishing close and then progress upwards, We don't want to label you instant carper! LOL
