Free running rig for carp fishing:

With a free running carp rig you are giving the fish room to move off with your bait before the weight of the lead sets the hook. I've used this method for both pike and carp fishing and found it works really well on pressured waters.

In this case I have used 30lb main line for demonstration purposes only, under normal circumstances I would either use 12 or 15lb mono when setting up this rig..
