I’m planning on fishing a lake on a commercial fishery that has lots of double figure carp but their rules don’t allow a lot of normal specimen carp tactics. What type of rig would be best?

With the rules that you’ve been given to fish, I’d suggest looking at method feeder or small PVA stick tactics which will no doubt be used on the venue.

Small PVA sticks add a pile of attraction around the hookbait

This will allow you to use a hooklink of your choice which complies with the rules and also ensure you are presenting effectively. With the hook size being so small in terms of what you’d usually use when targeting carp, you’d be better off using a match style tactic as those boys certainly know how to catch them!

Try adding Calanus Liquid to your Method mix

Using liquids such as the Pure Calanus or others in the liquid food range and mixing it with either the active mixes or boilie crumb will give you a perfect method mix to use.
