The helicopter rig is another of my favourite
carp fishing rigs. This particular kind of rig is mostly used
when casting long distances and with its excellent anti tangle
properties you can ensure your bait is out there as it should
be. To set up a helicopter rig you need specific equipment and
these are found in the picture below.
All the above equipment can be purchased
from any good tackle shop. To set up this rig you first
thread your main line through your anti tangle tubing,
(Aprox 18" in length). You then need to thread a rubber
or plastic bead on to your tubing, its much better if
the bead is a tight fit. You then proceed to add the
swivel bead which is or should be tied to the hook link,
now tie your mainline to a weight which has a swivel
attached. All you need to do now is cover everything up
like I have in the picture below.
