The biggest concern when using any helicopter/chod-style rig is safety. A carp being able to rid itself of the lead and leader in the event of the main-line breaking is something that we should never lose sight of. There are numerous ways to ensure that beads and rigs can slide off a leader easily (or main line in the case of a naked chod), but Korda has designed a complete system, with fully compatible products, to make it easy… and, more importantly, safe. When our editor, Marc Coulson, took delivery of a couple of packs he was immediately impressed.

I’ve long been a fan of the Arma Points, with their sharp points that seem exceptionally durable, dull coating and comprehensive range. When the latest pattern, the XSC, was added a year or so ago I immediately got my hands on some. I find the pattern – straight point, slightly swept shank and neutral eye – to be extremely versatile. They can be used with or without shrink tubing, or similar, to create just about any rig you want.

My favourite hooks, Muggas, are now available in a beefed-up version, boasting 30 per cent stronger, high-carbon wire. I took some to France with me and have used them here at home too. Despite their thicker gauge they remain sharp and the covert coating is inconspicuous on the lake bed too. RRP: £4.

Despite being on the carp scene for just a matter of months, Taska Carp has made an excellent debut with some innovative carp fishing tackle. The Baseline Tungsten range consists of seven products, with the main emphasis on pinning down your end tackle. Tungsten-impregnated rubber is used to give them that all-important weight, and items such as the Sinkers can be slid up the hook link to pin down the rig at the business end. All of the beads are housed on a fine-gauge wire, much like a conventional float stop, allowing them to be effortlessly applied to the line.
