Answer 1

If your in the U.K dont bother snagging ,youll end up in all sorts of trouble.

  As already suggested floating crust,or dog biscuits I wouldn't bother with a hair rig,12 or 15 pound mainline, thread mainline through the eye of the swivel on a controler float, then through a 3or4 mm bead then tie on a swivel to the other end of the swivel tie a 5 to 6 foot lengh of florocarbon to this add a size 6 hook bait this with an inch diameter piece of crust or a couple of dog biscuit and your ready to go.

     hope that helps

Answer 2

Freeline breadcrust with a hair rig

Answer 4

My preferred method when they are on top is either snagging if it is legal where you are from. Shooting them with a bow and arrow is my favorite method, but again, see if it is legal

Answer 5

usually free lining bread crust but you get pestered by ducks , i prefer to use free lined dog biscuit attached using a bait band. you can be a bit more aggressive in the cast and the ducks don't seem to be that bothered about. try also dying a couple with cochineal as an alternative bait. it works.

Answer 6

just ut a piece of bread on the hook no weights or floats so it just floats and when a carp takes it dont strike because it will just pull the hook out of the bread.
