Seeing as the choddy topic has come back to life...

what about answering these questions..

what bristle filament do you use to tie em!?

most importantly what hooks do you use!?

im an esp 15lber with a korda choddy hook myself

ESP Stiff Rig for me in 15 & 25lb

Hooks for me are still ESP Stiff Riggers or the Drennan continental Boilie hook, not keen on the Korda hooks as the seem really heavy



Thats how i set mine up, i just add some putty just below the bead on the shockleader sleeve to help it pin it down

pretty much the same as above, either siff rigger hook or the korda choddy hook (only korda hook ive found to be decent) as i like the curved beak on the them. always fish mine sliding and never feather it, just lob it out and let it plug right in. never fished them over gravel. also agree with ANdy on the point he made earlier post about baiting tactics - boilie only spread over a decent area has always produced better results for me

i use gardner muggars with a ring slideing on the hook for my hook length i use esp in 15lb
i've found the curved shank on these hooks give a good extention for the bend looking like a claw all the fish i've caught on them is in the middle of the bottom lip.
