Gardner Chod Rigs - Ready Tied

The Chod Rig is one of the most versatile methods for presenting hook baits over a variety of lake and river beds, particularly where there are obstacles or when fishing over silt, clay, or gravel. While the Chod Rig has gained significant popularity in recent years, tying it effectively can be a challenge. To make it easier for anglers, we’ve perfected the Chod Rig with our ready-tied versions that ensure reliable and effective performance every time.

The rig features a specially designed Chod Hook, ideal for use with stiff and mono-type hooklinks, providing an aggressive hook hold when the fish picks up the bait. Paired with the highly acclaimed 15lb Tripwire material, which acts as a stiff hook length that behaves like a long, curved extension of the hook shank, the rig guarantees that the hook will turn efficiently and gain the necessary purchase. This stiff material ensures the hook’s point finds its mark, even in difficult fishing conditions.

The Anti Glare Flexi Ring Swivel, a small size 12, is orientated correctly to allow the rig to run smoothly and sit straight on the leader, improving the rig’s free-running action. This feature helps eliminate unwanted twists and tangles, promoting better presentation in the water. For optimal performance, it’s important to use buoyant baits that hold the hooklink above the flexi ring swivel. When leadcore isn’t in use, the rig can easily be balanced with Critical Mass putty to maintain perfect bait presentation.

Tied with meticulous attention to detail in the UK, these ready-tied Chod Rigs provide the ultimate convenience for anglers, ensuring a top-quality rig without the hassle of tying it yourself. The Chod Rig is available in sizes 4, 6, and 8 barbed, and 6 and 8 barbless, giving anglers the flexibility to select the perfect size for their fishing needs. Whether you’re new to the method or an experienced angler, the ready-tied Chod Rig makes your fishing experience more efficient, allowing you to focus on the fishing itself while ensuring ultimate presentation and hook-hold reliability.
