The Chodfather Returns; Jim Shelley is the master of chod fishing and in this film his approach is laid bare! After discovering this presentation, he spent months tweaking the rig to perfection and the result is his somewhat unique adaptation of the infamous Chod rig. These days, Jim lets his captures do the talking and the number of big carp he’s amassed using this set-up is simply mind-blowing. Not only did we want for him to demonstrate how to tie, and use the Chod rig, “Shelley style”, we also tasked him with catching a carp. Anyone that knows the Woolpack fishery will know how difficult it can be, particularly on lakes 5+6, but Jim and his chods made it looks easy, with two epic carp caught live for the cameras!
