This is how I rig up my bottom bait rig, there are many other ways to do this. I can only say this works for me, when I fish for 5 lbs and bigger carps. You can scale it down for smaller carp, useing small regular safty clips and 5 gram weight hooked in the clip. I leave out the leadcore too when I bottom fish for 2-4 lbs carps, anything smaller then that I catch with pole rods.
