I Cut the Leg of a Lead Clip (HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED) 

I've just recently picked up carp fishing again after a 25 year break. In the 1980s we never had these complex rigs so this is all stuff I need to learn. Your videos are fantastic for this, clear and easy to understand. I'm definitely subscribing.

This man should be known as Matt "The Scientist" Collins.

Your presentation leaves no stone unturned. A lot of other vids miss out crucial parts and expect the novice angler to somehow fill in the blanks.Even as an experienced angler I enjoy how you calmly go about explaining not just how, but why you do what you do. Keep up the great work!!

Clear,precise and informative as always Matt. My “go to” RU-vidr for carp fishing. Really appreciate you taking the time to produce these videos for us.

I think this is one of the best setups I've seen until now. I will convert my rigs to this system. Thank you!

I'm learning so much from your videos, straight forward full explanation and demonstration of your rig set up, thanks . I'll be using your inline lead system on a gravel venue here in the UK, 🙂🙂

🙋‍♂ When to STOP baiting 👉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7f2yEYx0Cw0.html Lead clips are popular because they are easy to use and it’s quick to swap lead sizes and styles. They are good at delivering all the weight of the lead to the hook point once the hooklink is initially tightened however there are problems. Once the carp knows it’s hooked they have learned to use the weight of the lead to throw the rig out. Obviously this doesn't always happen but it happens an awful lot more than you think it does. Even if the carp doesn’t manage to throw the rig, unless the carp heads directly away from you, the bite indication is rubbish unless you are fishing with very tight lines. The only effective way to use a lead clip is to push the tail rubber on so lightly that you dump the lead on the take. This stops the carp from throwing the rig and is safe but it costs you a lead which is bad for your wallet and the environment. Here’s a way to keep all the advantages of a lead clip system without losing the lead each time. You also get all the bite indication benefits of a running rig. I’ve achieved the optimum safe setup with some very specific components. I tested a few other combos and it was difficult to achieve the same highly reliable system. If you do find a combination of components that works as well as this then let me know. I hope this gives you food for thought.ru-vid.comgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u2705.png

Hi Matt, another brilliant video from you. I do love your cool & collected way of presenting your videos, you make them so easy to understand & I will definitely be trying this set up in the near future. thank you & keep up the good work.

I recently subbed here a few weeks ago and Ive learnt more here than on any other channel thank you Matthew.

Superb rig! very clear instructions on how to build and why it works. Cheers Matt :-)

The first few minutes was a god send i've struggled like mad trying to thread mainline though tubing for ages now i was going to ask about it but i've now seen how to make it easier thank you. great video have been working my way through them as they are the best informative videos on how to do different set ups

Thanks again for your guidance in Carp Fishing..please keep these videos coming!

This is a brilliant tip! I've been fishing from a young age on and off and have just bought my first proper 3 rod carp setup. One thing that I was concerned about was losing leads after every take. As it could become very costly. I will for sure be using this setup now. To start my carp fishing journey. This a accompanied along with a pop up hook with a PVA sleeved filled with 3-4 boiles. Should be very effective rig I'm thinking. I'm super excited to get on the bank and give it a try! Thanks buddy for all your help and inspiration!

Matt Another great video with very clear instructions from start to finish installation it the line through the tube was great. As how we can use our lead clips safety. And when to use the rig Your videos just get better and better. From close ups to sound 5*

Clever stuff! 👌🏼 Good explanations too.

Great channel and great videos! Just getting into carp fishing and I’ll definitely be using this set up... 🎣🐟

Hi Matthew, My name is Leo and I'm from the Netherlands and you are one of the few English speakers who speak calmly and well articulated so that I can understand it too. I want to make a big complement for your clear explanation. thanks.

Excellent explanation of tying rig and rig function & mechanics - am going to try this

Nice job, ecplicitly explained how to do it. Thanks Mathew

Great video as always Matt, very informative, I'll be giving it a go 👍

I'm glad someone has put a video out explaining this as I see it being done wrong all the time. So many people have no clue they are basically fishing a tether rig unwittingly.

enjoyed this Matt gives you some extra options can see this being a great rig

Absolutely brilliant video, Hand on heart yes I was one of these idiots that pushed the tail rubber home . I didn’t understand but you have opened my eyes,I now have invested in the vital terminal tackle and set my rigs as discussed. Yep works a treat every time . Recently I have recovered other peoples tackle and on examination their are more and more people not understanding the simple and safe rig system! Thanks very much..

You keep surprising me Matt, this is absolutely brilliant. Greetings.

Definitely going to try this one matt.Top class and thanks for great info 👏👌

I am definitely going to try this method. Great video again Matt 👍🏻

For me this is the perfect blend of safety and effectiveness, going straight into my armoury. I've spent a lot of time on developing rigs and set ups that are first and foremost safe, but secondly don't compromise when it comes to landing fish and this has the lot. I've used the tungsten version of the clips/tail rubbers and added a c clip between the run ring and quick link just in case of a lead jam up but otherwise identical to yours and it works just how I hoped it would. Thanks for the excellent video 👍

As always Matt, very informative. Thank you

Hi Matthew, I watch your videos at all times, you demonstrate everything in great detail, I look forward to watching more of the wonderful videos you present. All the best Ernie.

Thanks Matt top tips as always will be giving this rig a try on my next trip

Thanks for making your rigmaking look so easy

Watch you al the time , top man I understand

Today I got the Nash bits to make the running rig you showed, I will try to put together the rig tomorrow.

I love your videos !!! you’re doing a really good job❤ To me, your channel is number one in the carp fishing community!! You fill me with confidence in fishing for carp !!! Thank you for all your great advice and knowledge!!!

First time having to use rig tubing and thank you very much for the lead/tail rubber tip! Dont think id have managed it otherwise 🙂

Described well as usual. Tell tail is a great idea I never thought of!

Excellent again Matt no bull just a brilliant rig explained.

Straight to the point and well explained.

I like you're video's Matthew. Much useful information and tips. Keep up the good work👍

I watched this a while ago, but the idea of it stuck with me. I tried it this weekend and it works perfectly as you said. 2 runs and 2 fish on the bank. I think I’ll be fishing my lead clip like this from now on.

Mathew you're channel is a breath of fresh air, very informative clear etc, others are just based on selling you things ( ok I understand that part) but education is the key - to know why when where with fish care in mind- a carp that has been traumatised- hurt- damaged whatever is now far harder to catch, me personally I like to look at my pic catches knowing it was placed back after just as it was when I hooked it ( yes I've had a scale lift even with tubing once it happens sadly) but with so many people now joining the carping community education really is key 🎣 👍👍👍lee

Excellent video, very easy to understand. I will never use a lead again, inline is a lot safer. Knowing there's a chance, a lead clip can be set up wrong, makes me not use them. Fish safety is the number 1 priority for me.

Your videos are just brilliant Matthew and are a great help to me, just starting up again at the age of 62 :))

Another brilliant video! 👍

Good work… I’m learning a lot thanks 🙏

Simple and effective. Thanks you for sharing. I had this exact same problem , always lost the lead while playing the fish. It was killing my pocket. Great video.

Those box logic tackle boxes are brilliant, just recently got one myself. Great video Matt!

Absolutely love, this idea

Always thinking Matthew Cheers.

Hi Matthew, great video. Can't beat running rigs.

We learn something new every day and another great lesson. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

Awesome rig Matt mate

Thank you for another great video i how found this rig works well for me

As always, very informative vid Matt. Greetings from Poland, Michał.

Matthew thank you for the videos, Iam learning a great deal from you, Billy Buckeye,AZ

Great video and i will be trying out this set up in future, love to learn about new and safer ways to fish for carp and save a few pounds on leads too.

Another top video full of valuable information 👌👌

Truly a master of rigs Matt,, nice one mate this will be getting some use from me 👍👍👍👍

Hi Mathew, great lead set up used it myself years ago , little added thing ive done in past if using pva bag or funnel web tie a small piece of pva tape around lead clip for long casts just to make sure that the run ring doesn't dis lodge it works a treat and still completely safe. Regards Lee

Brilliant as always Matt. The first time I tried this rig I caught a gnarly old fish, half a pound short of thirty - a new PB for me for the lake. One thing I am now doing is using a Korda Hybrid Lead Clip - the one with the integral ring swivel and connection loop, so no need for a seperate ring swivel and peg like the Nash system. The Korda clip has serrations on the shank and grips the tail rubber a treat. Saves fiddling about aligning swivel eyes and scratching around for the peg which has dropped in the grass and got itself lost!!

Great explanation and great video. Thank you for your content. I’m becoming a better fisherman after every video 👏🏽.

Love it Matthew, top man 👍

Great video Matthew .that set up looks great I'm going to try it next time I'm on the bank cheers 🎣👍👍

Thanx matt, very clever and effective. Have subbed!

going to try this, cheers!

Another one for me to try 🤜💥🤛 great video chap 👌

Great video. I will be trying this lead setup in August when I do a 48hrs. Will try the mono D, multi-rig and the hair rig with the bead on each of my rods. Hopefully I will be successful.

Just watch your video They say you learn something new everyday and I did thank you very much great very video 10 out of 10

Hi Matt hope you're well.I went fishing this week to a members only lake it was a hard couple of days .out of thirteen angler's only three caught anything.I had two carp on your shock and run rig. I was fishing on two gravel spots and one to a far marginal shelf. On the second day I noticed carp showing in the middle of nowhere with no real features on silt. So I put a couple of the showing fish, free casting no marking up or leading around so as not to make much disturbance.small leads shock and run set up.thats what did the business ,I'm really getting some good results.cheers Matt keep the tips coming.

Just an Internal rubber from an inline lead also with some PVA tape, saves butchering lead clips, or just don't put the peg through the swivel.. one thing I've found using similar is it can cause a fair bit of mainline line twist when reeling in, due to the angle the lead kicks off the swivel at, blistering takes though.

Interesting... gonna try it !

Excellent, thank you.

Wow 5 star Matthew, been fishing lead clip for since they came out but I shall be changing my set up to running rigs. never seen a safer rig in my opinion

Great video Matthew. Greetings from Poland.

Looks good. Think I'll give it a try

Excellent video very helpful

As I keep saying, what a nice guy an very helpful 👌👍 il be trying this too mate 👍

Brilliant thanks very much 👍

Excellent video Matt. I find if you leave a 5mm gap between the line sinker and tubing, the tubing lays nice and flat, otherwise I personally find the tubing kinks and rises off the deck.

Another great video

Just what I needed....at an affordable price!!

Your innovative and clever ideas have enhanced my carp fishing in a more productive and safe way. I think you need to design your own product range Matt your methodology is unique.

Neat concept on the running rig tail rubber idea, well thought thru. I'll be giving this a go, thanks. One question on rig tubing. I've never used it. I tend to use lead core or more recently just a naked sinking line. What are the advantages of rig tubing do you use it in every situation?

Great job!

you should check this out: Pole Position CS Safety Lead Clip This is also safe with a line break because only the rig will be left and has the same properties as this system

Hay dude. Ive been using this system since 2021 and can safely safe its gotten me so many fish. 👍🙂

This is the best rig set up I have ever seen and have switched most of my rods to this. Thanks Matt. Did you try the Korum product yet?

Absolutely love the in depth explanation on the mechanics and safety of the rig. Just seems so much more logical than the standard lead clip. Did you invent this method yourself?

Hi matt, this video is perfect timing my members lake now has another lake I can fish where you can't drop the lead, its running rigs only so this set up is perfect. Good tips and very well put across. BTW good to see your liking the nash gear. I'm a nash field tester there products are brilliant.

Hi Matt.once again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. What’s best,this rig or the running rig.last month. Thanks.

Genius!

Absolutely love this set up matt just 1 question. Can you use any rig as I see you used the mono rig. And I haven't perfected that yet

Great vlog again not to complicated

Been using this set up for years now

Here is the Fox run rig we discussed, replace the normal run ring this one so the lead is kept unless it becomes snagged when it will then eject. Tight lines all! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EX2qjxMbvfs.html

This video was nice! I also like inlines and lead clips with the diameter of the swiwel, so the first "shock" is gained and they also turn into a running rig in a second. Should be added that in these cases the anti tangle also slides away with the lead so this could be a disadvantage.

Great tips as always Matt 👍, I'm interested in seeing this format in the leadless leader version with maybe a shocker bead ? If it would be safe enough ? Keep up the good work and look forward to your next posts 👍

Too simple. Never thought of that!

Always been a massive fan of running rigs and a 2oz lead, used them everywhere, I used a shot 10" from the lead set up but no longer will from now on. An amazing rig Matthew, seen the other video too and makes sense losing a fish often. I'm going to always use this rig from now on friend. Q: Can you use an inline lead instead? Tight lines

Hi great videos I am watching and learning loads from these videos, Could you use the rotten bottom technique with this system and then use it for weedier areas?
