Game Changing Carp rig
Anyone seen it, OMC Magic Twig think it's called. Clubs banning it already. Al Hamidi is pushing it. Looks very dodgy to me.

Re: Game Changing Carp rig
Good ol' carpers - solving a problem that doesn't exist again. The auto-strike gizmo has been tried in the past and it failed miserably. I'd expect the same here and, yes, I've had messages from two local clubs to say that it's a banned item at their waters.

Re: Game Changing Carp rig
I thought short hooklink fixed lead rigs or just plain old tight to the baitrunner hooked fish for you. I must be doing it wrong. I wionder what the price is?

Re: Game Changing Carp rig
A quick google there's a lot of places banning it. Not to mention this stolen from FB.

Re: Game Changing Carp rig
All the French lakes on the Ban.
It was bad enough with the metal work required on the so called Ronnie rig.
Spend £40 to make one rig. To get caught in the net.
Hamid now has a release confirming how safe and wonderful it is shows how it will break (it didn’t) desperate To make some money must be hard without “Fair up his a**e”
Perhaps he should have read auto hook mechanism’s are not allowed in the Uk. (Fixed lead. It the same).
Simple hair rigs still catch carp.
Simply must haves just catch the Angler.

Re: Game Changing Carp rig
The marketing campaign has intrigued me, first release loads of videos of carp rejecting baits(I believe carpers refer to this as “getting done”) using all kinds of technical rigs.
After creating a “need” for miracle device by F#####g the heads of an army instant carpers(made easier with weed induced paranoia), BOOM hear it the magic twig, never get done again.
The fact that it is under discussion on this forum is testament to the power of shrewd marketing.
It looked really clunky to me but having said that I like to keep things as simple as I possibly can!
It will be interesting to see if it is successful, I’m sure there will be plenty of (mugs) people out there who think a piece of plastic can negate watercraft and basic angling skills!

Re: Game Changing Carp rig
Didn't Kevin Maddocks discuss such a rig in Carp Fever concluding it was not a good idea?
I fish a small syndicate each summer and new lads have been using 6oz leads, a few weeks in all they get is single bleeps!
I think everything has a place but i will not be buying any.

Re: Game Changing Carp rig
Don’t think so!The fact that it is under discussion on this forum is testament to the power of shrewd marketing.
The product hasn’t been released and has been brought to International attention by poor product research not shrewd marketing.
It’s lake owners and clubs for once have stepped up and said NO to a product which brought it to my attention, so unless it’s Fake news /ruse for something completely different OMC will flop at trying to reinvent the wheel.
Hopefully be a lesson for all of them.

Reading through the comments on FB fishery owners are rightly concerned over fish safety , all except one fishery that is, the owners profile picture shows him displaying a land net full of carp resting on a wooden landing platform.

Re: Game Changing Carp rig
absolute load of b******s
its similar to the original rig- the hermit rig, or anyone remember method feeders with pole elastic in them....
as usual to keep up sales, carp company's re invent the wheel every year, or come up with more crap to keep you at the water longer (or more comfortably as they put it)
carp fishing is full of gullible people.
OMC is one of the worst brands i have ever seen, massive flop, imagine leaving Korda and going to that.
lastly, the good anglers ,yes some smoke, most however do not, so give up with the "their all stoned" bullshit, cos they aint, if anything more of them are more pissheads than anything.

(I won’t post s link as I don’t think these types deserve the clicks once was enough). He is desperately trying to justify its safety but couldn’t break it.
He dug a bigger hole saying he always removes the hook from the fish in the net and drew attention to the big lead and stated that the lead was more of a snag in the net than the rig. er didn’t he and his chum’s promote the unnecessary dropping of ALL leads at the detriment of our waters? But the benefit to their bank accounts
I am a carper and I admit to being a tackle tart but like the other carpers on here we get our kicks from out fishing these “leaders of fashion fads followers!”

I wonder how much kordas lead dropping system increased their profit margins over the years.

Re: Game Changing Carp rig
More brainwashing and fixing problems that don’t exist,
I have seen the vid but still not sure of what it is or how it works, one things for sure I won’t be buying any,
A basic as you can get away with rig with an item of food on that they actually want to eat and a very sharp hook in the right place will continue to out-fish that sort of nonsense every time

Re: Game Changing Carp rig
I just watched it all the way though, I can see all the instant carp anglers that are out there all getting on it, we will see, and so clubs are starting to ban it, when was the last time you had your rig checked, I hope clubs do start checking rigs,

More rubbish for gullible anglers idiots, who will no doubt immediately rush out and buy anything theyre told to by the latest carp messiah.

Re: Game Changing Carp rig
Carp anglers I meet on the bank fishing club waters will buy anything they think will catch them more fish. It always amazes me how much they'll spend on getting the latest thing and even more, how gullible they are. If they made as much effort to get the basics right, they'd find carp aren't all that hard to catch.
As far as rigs go, from my many years of catching carp, in most situations, a simple blow-back rig to a semi-fixed lead will suffice and (in more recent times) if you're boilie for larger fish, a hinged stiff rig as shown on my rods below, is always my first choice. Game changers? I'd say zigs. Who'd have thought a little bit of black and yellow foam sitting up in the water column would catch so many fish. Yet, still so few people seem to have any confidence with the method. On the right day it can be insanely good.
