Agree with Scozza, the Korum bolt and run rigs are very good.

If you're fishing for chub .. drennan quiver tip rod .. 1oz tip .. 5lb line straight through to a 8 hook and piece of bread flake ..

Have a look at the Korum bolt and run rigs, absolutely superb for me and I have tried a lot of things!

Don’t know what the flow is like but I use Daiwa J braid to a fluro leader and a braid hook length, starting around 3 - 4 foot

A simple hair rig is all you need. If it’s mainly chub keep the bait tighter to the shank

Generally match hook size to bait size

Enjoy the fishing

Keep it as simple as possible mate .
Obviously a rig to suit the bottom and weed etc ...

I'd go for a braid or coated braid if it's snaggy etc

Big strong hooks as well ....

Hey guys, got a new ticket that enables me to fish a section of river medway that has chub to 5lb barble to a rare 15lb most around 8lb and if very lucky carp to 20lb or bigger

I came from a carp fishing background and my confidence is in a heli rig with a 25lb amnesia D rig.

Im not really sure how to approach the river, I'll be happy cathing 3lb chub all day for now but if a nice fish comes alond id like to be able to land it.

The river has barely any flow at the moment but im sure its not always like that, not sure.

Im thinking a 15lb mono hair rig on a running led set up?

Any recommendations?
