I Have Stopped Fishing With Lead Clips - Here's WHY 

Appreciate that mate, means a lot 😊

Hi Scott, nice to hear from you 😊 That's great to hear mate, thank you and hope you're well.

I understand mate, it’s a big leap of faith to move away from a bolt effect, I was doubtful myself for years. Go for it, fish a semi tight clutch and a very solid bankside setup and you’ll never look back 👍

As long as I'm fishing, I'm learning mate 👍 Thank you so much for the support.

Thanks very much mate 😊

Hi Matt, can you please tell me where to purchase the Rothenberger mini burner gasbrenner lighter and refills please. Thank you :-)

Thanks very much mate, yeah, very lucky to have this river near me, plenty of fun, challenges and rewards.

Thank you very much mate, really appreciate it 👍 Yeah, really happy with this lead setup, will do a full video on it in the future.

That’s really great to hear mate, means a lot. I’m glad the channel is helping you on your journey 👍

Thanks very much for the feedback mate. Yes, we've got that in the pipeline to film, I have quite a few setups that work very well now.

Wonderful to hear mate, thanks 😊

Thank you very much, that's great to hear!

Fantastic to hear, thank you 😊

Glad you enjoyed the video! I've got different running lead setups on this channel, this is a good place to start: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LzFina92brM.html

This really means a lot 🙏 That's why I've built this channel, hoping to help anglers along their journey and be more successful. Many thanks for the support and encouragement.

​@@matthewcollinsanglerhi mathew do you still use your shock and run rig with the nash heavy duty lead clip.?

Hi mate, the ‘shock and run’ works great but to be honest, over the last couple of years, I’ve mainly used free running lead systems because I’ve found that they work just as well. Shock and run systems are useful if you want to create ‘tell tale’ indicator so that you know whether you’re being done.

Great to hear mate, thanks for the support 👍

Great to hear, I’ve had very similar experiences, running rigs can transform your fishing 👍

Haha, must be you Julian! Ren was particularly tickled by your comment 😛

Thank you very much 😊

Thanks very much mate 👍

@@matthewcollinsangler I know you use mono a lot for hook links , I’m always reluctant to do so as I’m not confident the hook turns as well as with stripped back coated braid , what are you thoughts ?

@@bashab3098 Hi mate, mono hooklinks work great, that’s why I’ve done several videos on them. There’s not much else I can say that isn’t in these videos tbh. The carp find them harder to deal with, the hook turns quickly - that’s what other anglers have told me as well. I have lots of positive comments from anglers that made the switch. I know coated braids with a section stripped back are hugely popular but I haven’t used that type of rig for 15 years. I think they cost you chances and they’re expensive. Best thing I ever did was stop using them. In this video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RjdQV2U-_cc.html ) I show how badly a coated hooklink with a section stripped back sits on the bottom.

Not that far from where you're going, further East, it's the river Mayenne. Have a good trip mate.

Thank you very much 👍

Thanks mate 😊. You're going to need 3.5lb TC as a minimum. For this session, I use 3lb Nash dwarfs 9ft.

Great to hear mate 👍

Glad you enjoyed it mate 👍 Some of my leads are from Nash, some from Korda, Avid.

Thanks very much mate 👍

Means a lot to hear that mate 👍 It's the Mayenne river in France, very lucky to have it quite near where I live.

Hi Daniel, ah, glad this one's peaked your interest! There’s no doubt carp are caught on lead clips all the time and that they work. What I’ve found is that sometimes the carp uses the lead to throw the rig out and I know it’s happening because I’ve got a ‘telltale’ indicator on my rig. So based on that, it’s running rigs all the way for me. I’ve also come to the conclusion that I don’t need a bolt effect to catch them. As long as my bankside setup is solid, it’s my semi tight clutch that does the hooking for me before I get to the rod. Glad this topic is creating some good discussion!

Great to hear mate 😊

Hi mate, I don’t use it, nothing to do with the brand. I don’t use chods, I don’t use helicopters and I don’t fish in weed anymore so the product is just not relevant to my fishing. Cheers, Matt

Found the same thing mate, I've gone back to simpler rigs over the last few years and they're working so much better for me.

Hi Mike, I see what you mean and yes, over the last few years, I have experimented with different running rigs, some with a very slight bolt effect and some pure running. They both work but you have to be really careful that the carp aren’t using the bump effect to throw the rig out. With a pure running rig, I’m not using the lead to create the bolt effect, it’s the clutch that’s doing the hooking. I’m also using the elasticity of the mono and the free running ledger to make it incredibly difficult for the carp to spit out the rig. It all depends on the situation 😊

@@matthewcollinsangler Thanks for the reply! With the increase of angling pressure on my club water, I’m am definitely going to give a running lead system another go as I feel most anglers use lead clips or a heli system and it may give me the edge I’m after. I don’t feel confident enough with using the clutch and a sharp hook to catch the carp but hopefully this will come in due time! Cheers

@@MikeyyGGGGG Definitely the way to go in your situation. Yes, it's a leap of faith but you'll never look back once you've landed a couple.

@@matthewcollinsangler I’ll keep you posted!👍🏼

Yes mate, plenty of rig components that can be re-used multiple times 👍

@@matthewcollinsangler couldn’t agree more. Really enjoying your channel mate. Thanks a lot.

Thanks very much mate 😊

@@matthewcollinsangler Re joining my local water again this year Emporer lakes in Devon. Think I’m gonna give the running rig a deffo chance again. 1st rig I ever used when I first started. I swear I used to catch more on basic running rigs!!

Not surprised mate, they are more effective! All the best for your campaign.

@@matthewcollinsangler thanks buddy! I shall try my best!

Thanks very much mate 😊

Good to hear your experience, thank you. I have to say I’m not convinced with squeezing the eye of the swivel to make it oval, if I’ve understood you correctly. For me, it’s a potential safety risk. Here’s a video I’ve done on this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a6WI6Y1o_Xk.html

@@matthewcollinsangler I agree that it’s not a good setup when using tubing. I don’t use tubing but I use a 3ft lead free braided leader (Korda Dura Kord). The clip and lead slide all the way up the leader and over the knot onto the mainline with no problems. It’s been working perfectly for me and I’d say my landing rate is around 95%. Carp are unable to shake the hook and if they go for a weed bed the lead will eject.

@@dennisl.6624 Ah right, got it mate, using it with a leadless leader is better.

Spot on 👍

Always used in line and it's worked so I have always stuck with it. And always 4oz weights I just feel the hook gets set . Until I stop catching I feel no need to change what's working .going to try using inline leads sea fishing with short hooklength .try a carp tacktic on sea Fish..

Hi mate, yes, had a look. Didn’t get on well with them, the swivel was way too loose in the bead for my liking. The only way to solve this was to glue them in so I gave up on them.

Cool, glad they're working for you. I've tried the 3lb version but I lost the 2oz lead both times so I'm not using them at the moment.

Yes mate absolutely. In fact that’s exactly how I fish on lakes where I don’t need to use a heavy mono leader, 1m of 40lbs cling-on tied to 12lbs Bullet and I’m good to go 👍

Thanks mate. I use running rigs everywhere, rivers, lakes, the lot.

Cheers buddy, going give them a go

Hi there, you can fish running rigs with a tight line, slack line or semi slack, or back leads. What’s important is that you need to have a very solid bankside setup and fish a semi tight clutch. With a running rig, I’m not creating the bolt effect with the lead but I am creating a much bigger bolt effect with my clutch ie it’s the clutch that’s doing the hooking of the carp. I’m also using the elasticity of the mono and the free running ledger to make it incredibly difficult for the carp to spit out the rig. I know it’s a leap of faith and it’s different to traditional semi fixed rigs but give it a go, you won’t regret it 😊

@@matthewcollinsangler thank you very much for your help. I will definitely give it a go. I am always looking to improve my fishing techniques. Keep up the great content.

@@matthewcollinsangler I wondered if you ever used the pallatrax gripz hooks? It should have the benefits of both barbed and barbless hooks.

Not used them mate, tbh, I don't buy into the hype and I don't have a problem with barbless so I've got no reason to change.

Thanks mate 👍 I'm using 24mm salt cured Scopex squid hookbaits.

Hi mate, you’re going to have to trust me on this! What hooks the fish is the clutch and the elasticity of the mono. The running rig also allows the lead to separate from the rig so that the carp can’t use the weight of the lead to throw the rig (this happens with a semi fixed setup / lead clip). I’ve used this method for 15 years and it’s extremely effective. I’ve transformed anglers’ sessions at my lake by switching to a running rig. Running rigs eliminate hook pulls because they add elasticity into the system. Most of the takes are absolute rippers so it’s more a question of holding onto the rod and controlling the carp. Occasionally I get a drop back, in that case, I pick up the rod, wind down to the lead and then lift into the fish. There’s no striking. Running rigs are most effective when used with a semi tight clutch. If you use a running rig with a slack clutch, you won’t hook the carp and they can be gone by the time you get to the rod. I’ve also come to the conclusion that I don’t need a bolt effect to catch them. As long as my bankside setup is solid, it’s my semi tight clutch that does the hooking for me before I get to the rod. My next video will be on this exact topic so don’t miss it 😊

@@matthewcollinsangler cheers Matt. Look forward to the next film.

Thanks for sharing your experiences 👍

It is a fact that helicopter is the best and safest. Not your opinion mate even better a fact 😊

Thanks mate 😊 I'm using Nash heavy duty snag leader 0.60 / 40lb.

@@matthewcollinsangler thanks Matt will give it a go could you do another video of homemade made as I really enjoyed your last video you did

@@Daryl-1 thanks mate, might do a fish based one in the future 👍

Hi Andy, I don’t use the Subline myself but there’s no way 0.35 mono should be easy to break. I can deadlift 12lbs with 12lb 0.33 Nash Bullet. For me 12lb ‘real world’ breaking strain should be the minimum as that’s 4 times the test curve of a 3lb carp rod. If your line is breaking, it could be because of your choice of knot. Not all lines react the same way to the same knot. Might be worth trying a few different ones if you haven’t done so. I meet a lot of anglers at my lake and I know some find certain knots easier to tie than others. It also depends what you’re connecting to. You’ll get a stronger knot to a lead free leader than to a swivel. If you tie to a lead free leader, use the 5 turn uni knot or palomar only. My mainline of choice nowadays is the Nash Bullet. After trying many mainlines, it ticks a lot of boxes without having any big downsides. It casts well, has good knot strength and excellent abrasion resistance. You might notice the last few yards going a bit curly after a few sessions if you aren't fishing with a leader. If it bothers you then just cut that off and get back to a nice straight bit. It’s so strong that I’m using the 12lb version for all my carp fishing nowadays. I do add 6m of heavy duty mono snag leader 30lbs (0.50) when river carping or big chuck work on the larger reservoirs. I also get customers using the 20lbs version at the lake where we have cats to 134 lbs. Hope that helps, Matt

@@matthewcollinsangler Matt Many thanks The subline was my old one which is still on the reels ( not had any problems with it other than a bit kinky ) The new one will be going in the bin ! I tried various sections of the first 50 yards on spool & each broke very easily between the 2 loop knots I created for my test pulls Never at the knots but in middle of each 8 inch test section For now I’ll keep on with old subline but will replace with bullet As I said distance not needed , just a good sinker with some island & bramble abrasion resistance required I’ve made a mental note of your suggestion of removing a few yards occasionally Many thanks for reply Andy

@@andym5900 Sounds like a dodgy spool, it's happened to me before.

Ah yes, well spotted! I use salt to cure the baits to make them extra and tough. No issue using them in a lake as well as the river. Don’t worry about the quantity, salt is an essential mineral that carp need and you’d have to use tonnes to have an impact on salinity.

Hi mate, that's the Nash workbox, comes in 2 sizes, I've got the XL version. Can take the box logic tackle box. Great bit of kit, keeps me very organised!

@@matthewcollinsangler is there any chance you could maybe do a video on your tackle box and what’s you keep in it? I love seeing other people’s tackle box’s and seeing what they store and where, I’m in the market for a new one lol

@@matthewcollinsanglerah I think I’ve got confused, in the video at 2.17 you was using a little pouch, I thought it was a tackle bag but now looking back at it it doesn’t look like that, is it a tackle pouch? What actually is it lol? Looks like a grata bit kit

@@akagaming1982 Ah right, that's the Nash XL workbox insert, it's a separate item that's part of the workbox system. Got space for terminal tackle and ziplock pouches perfect for lead free leaders. Fits inside the workbox perfectly. Like it a lot!

@@matthewcollinsangler great, I’d probably just Chuck it in my bag but looked like a great bit of kit, we’ll definitely be adding to my collection of pouches and wallets 🤣

Hi David, I’m using a tight line and a semi tight clutch which deliver lbs of force compared to a few oz of the bolt effect. Most of the time they hook themselves, sometimes they come back towards me so I wind down and lift into them, I wouldn’t describe it as a strike. The takes can be absolutely savage! Much better than with a lead clip. Having used running rigs for so long, I don’t believe anymore that the bolt effect is necessary. In some cases, it even makes it easier for the carp to throw the rig out. I just use a pure running rig now 👍

@@matthewcollinsangler Thanks for the clarification Matt - I’ll give it a go next time out. I am using (korda) lead clips, slack lines and a semi-tight clutch (with braid mainline) and having quite a bit of success, but I’m always happy to use and try other methods to see if they can improve my catch rate :). BTW - I am enjoying your videos, they were a great help when I restarted carp fishing last year.

Hi there, it is an option to do this if you use a thin lead free leader material like the 40lb Cling-On and fine mainline such as 0.35 or smaller but if something jams up and prevents the lead clip from sliding off the leader, the tail rubber is forced tighter onto the lead clip which is the last thing you need. This is why I don’t fish like this. If you want to fish with a running rig, it’s far safer to use a large bore plastic run ring that buffers up against some kind of buffer bead or sleeve. Here’s a quick overview of what I use (full video on this in the future): instagram.com/p/CsoJFuBMfH7/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

It's not mate. French rivers hold an incredible stock. I've caught a lot of mid-twenties on the river but I've been getting into the bigger fish this year. The rivers are managed at the department level and a standard fishing licence allows you to fish any public venue or river in that department.

@@matthewcollinsangler Ah, that was my wrong assumption that it was in the UK! Appreciate the response mate, tight lines

Hi mate, I mostly use the Nash chod twisters, sometimes the regular twisters.

Hi, yes, if there’s a break in the mainline, the fish will be trailing mainline. But I’m using barbless hooks 100% of the time so the fish can quickly get rid of the hook and the mainline. I’ve seen the evidence of this on my own lake where our guests have been fishing barbless for the last 3 years. I also make sure that the mainline and the leader are ‘over speced’ for the job and every knot is force tested. Cheers, Matt

Hi mate, I fish running rigs with a semi tight clutch and I’m using the clutch and the elasticity of the mono to hook the fish. The takes can be quite savage and if the carp are big enough they will rip the line off a semi tight clutch. There's very little doubt when I get a bite in the night and yeah my R4 is screaming! I know it’s completely different to how many anglers fish but it’s deadly effective and will always outfish a standard bolt rig. The running rig also allows the lead to separate from the rig so that the carp can’t use the weight of the lead to throw the rig (this happens with a semi fixed setup / lead clip). Cheers, Matt

@@matthewcollinsangler thanks Matt for this extensive answer.

@@matthewcollinsangler thank you Matt, is this usable from a baitboat? I can imagine the led will not stay at is place against the running rig bead.

@@Thewebbels Hi mate, if you want to fish a running rig with a bait boat, there are 3 options: 1. Fish a solid PVA bag with an inline running lead and put the lead inside the bag (rig video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TPCvErlGGZ0.html) 2. Use PVA tape to tie the lead to the sleeve or buffer bead 3. Hold the rod and the line tight just before you initiate the drop on the boat and then feel the lead down on a tight line. That works well on a shallow lake, even when you’re fishing over a tight trap of bait, but if you want to fish a tight trap over deeper water, you may find your rig lands too far away from your bait due to swing back. Not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just something to be aware of. Cheers, Matt

@@matthewcollinsangler thank you Matt, really appreciate your answer

Maybe you mean something like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cCpL6AdceOw.html

No, not at all, I explain exactly how running rigs work and why they're so effective in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ckzalwJuh0c.html

@@matthewcollinsangler thanks, I will watch the video and adjust my setup. Same rules apply for zigs?

@@johnpayne5391 TBH I haven't fished zigs for years but the same mechanics apply. If you want to fish a running rig with a zig watch this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cCpL6AdceOw.htmlsi=f3JpqTSTi8Y5BK2D The Nash run clip was originally designed for fishing with adjustable zigs and is highly effective. It’s more common to dump the lead when zig fishing and it’s certainly something I did when I fished them as playing a carp on a zig with the lead banging around many feet from the carp is horrible and you don’t have much control. I hate the practice of dumping leads and zig fishing is no longer appropriate for my angling so it’s not a problem for me.

You can make a running rig either fully running or with a light bolt effect. I have found in the last few years that I am much more successful with a pure running rig. I don’t need a bolt effect to catch carp. This is in France.

@@matthewcollinsangler I thought hooking a fish was what a lead is for ? Are you saying you wait for the monkey climber to move 80’s style then strike? I know it’s France lol

Hi mate, it's something I really really do not recommend as it could lead to major safety issues for the carp. I've done a whole video on the topic and it'd be great if you could have a look at it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a6WI6Y1o_Xk.html. Cheers, Matt

Looks like the Fox system which I have tested. The ring itself is great but I didn't like the fit of the swivel in the sleeve supplied, I found it too loose and if the swivel pops out the sleeve, the product doesn't work properly. So that's what I'd be looking for in the OMC system.

I agree, inline leads are great. I set them to be free running or very lightly fixed by replacing the plastic insert supplied with a soft inline insert.

Hi mate, you can easily buy barbless hooks for carp fishing, I recommend the Nash pinpoint range in barbless. Cheers, Matt

@@matthewcollinsangler thanks i hope i can get it in the usa

Spot on 👍

The run clip is a great product used in the right situation. In this particular spot, I had to up my setup to 20lb Bullet with a 40lb leader and the leader knot is so large that the run clip would jam at the top and become unsafe.

I’m not a fan of snag fishing… My rule of thumb is to never fish closer than 10m. If you’re fishing with a tight line and locked up, you can push that to 5m. I used to fish closer and I lost fish. Nowadays, I bait short of the snag and draw the fish to me, it’s safer and more effective. If there are snags where you’re fishing, you might be better off with a swivel based running rig connected by a rotten bottom (see this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pSjT2wPKtTw.html). If something bad happens, the fish will be able to break off the lead easily. Hope that helps.

Hi mate, here are all the components for the lead setup: Fox plastic run ring Quick link 10mm length of 3mm silicon sleeve Nash heli sleeve (top bead not used) Quick change swivel to quickly attach new rigs Short tungsten anti tangle sleeve to hold the hooklink in place

@matthewcollinsangler perfect Matthew thank you very much mate 👍

I only fish with running leads so no, I don’t lose the lead when I get a bite. With a standard lead clip, yes, the lead is dropped on the take. That’s not good for the environment and also it’s not a very effective way of catching carp.

Good to hear mate 👍

Yes mate, used it for years, makes a good hooklink for sure. I prefer mono snag leader these days because it comes on large diameter spools and it’s a bit nicer to handle.

@@michaelhedges41070 There are several Fox systems out there but here’s a test you can do yourself: check that the ring carrying the lead can fly over the end of the tubing and up the mainline with zero resistance. If that happens, then yes, it’s safe. I would use strong mainline (20lb, 0.40mm) and test the knots so that if the lead does become trapped, when you pull for a break, you’ll break the ring rather than your mainline. Hope that helps, Matt

@@accesszero4803 Any carp of any size or age is capable of doing a rig on a lead clip. The run clip may or may not be suitable for your needs.

Thanks mate 👍

No problem with your comment at all, our experiences have led us to very different conclusions and decisions. You have a setup that obviously works very well for you and I know anglers catch carp on lead clips every day. We just have very different perspectives on fishing. I agree with a lot of what you say. I’ve been fishing the river for 10 years and, yes, they pull like nothing else! And they’re not very pressured. However, as I said in the video, I had several instances when the carp 100% used the weight of the lead when I was using a lead clip and I’ve had it before so for me, it’s an issue. I would never push on the tail rubber fully because it’s a safety issue (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a6WI6Y1o_Xk.html) and I’ve seen the consequences of that at my lake. I had a 100% hook to land ratio last year on the river with the Nash run clip and this year, so far 100% with my new breakaway setup. I’ve never achieved that with lead clips. I have solved my problem. All the best with your fishing. Matt

Thanks for the recommendation but I don't like dropping leads ever, I only fish with running leads 😊

Good to hear mate 👍
