Tying a D-ring or chod rig

Run the line through the eye of the hook leaving about 2cm to use to make the ‘D’.



Whip the line down the hook in the normal way about 5 or 6 times and pass it back through the eye of the hook.



The next step is to make the ‘D’. Place a small rig ring onto the tail end of the line that usually makes the hair.



This is then passed through the eye of the hook (from the back) creating a D shaped loop.



When you have pushed enough through to make a ‘D’ of a suitable size as shown, take a cigarette lighter and slowly burn the tail end down to stop it from pulling back through the eye.



You can now bait the rig by tying on your desired bait (usually a pop-up boilie) using baiting floss. The bait is now free to move along the length of the ‘D’ allowing a very natural movement.

does the chod rig go on a leadcore leader or can it be fished without?

no it doesn't have to have lead core. that just helps pin things down. you could put it on any leader type tubing or anything. there is a top angler that puts it strait on to his flourocarbon hooklength. if you do decide to use a heavy leader of any kind make sure the small hooklenght is able to slide freely off the leader should you get snapped, this way a fish isn't tethered to a long heavy leader.

If the rig is done correctly this should never happen it’s probably one of the safest ways to fish lead core.

yeah i agree mate. just like the helicopter rig, but done wrong n its deadly
