What rig should I use over weed and silt?

The chod rig runs free on the leader and presents a pop-up above weed and silt, so it works even when you cannot see the bottom. It's the safest choice for uneven, cluttered ground where a bottom bait would be lost in the muck.

Tweaks

• Use a critically balanced pop-up so it sits just above the debris
• Set the top bead high on the leader to fish clear of deep weed
• Size 6 or 4 curved chod hook to match your hookbait

1. Tie the chod section: knotless knot with a D and rig ring, then a stiff-rig loop to a ring swivel. Curve it gently by steaming.
2. Slide the top bead, the chod section and the bottom bead onto the leader above the lead.
3. Set the beads to fish the rig free-running or fixed depending on the bottom.
4. Mount the pop-up on the ring with bait floss.
