What sort of weight are you using ? bomb .inline, on a clip,running ????

its a bomb weight , i can attach it direct to the line but when my friends have set me up before the weight runs loose on like a loop is this the overhand loop i need to know to make this happen , thanks again

if your carp angling your best bet is to buy some korda safety clips,they come with standard instructions,easy to use and available in every angling centre.

or try tying a hooklength of say 12-18 inches of line,hook one end, swivel the other,thread your main line through the swivel eye,and then tie your lead onto the main line so that when finished the swivel rests against the lead.

im crap at explaining but if you understand this you wont go far wrong.

Hopefully this diagram will help as well, you can use a bomb instead of a feeder.
