Quick Change

[GearJunky]

Hi all,
Hope you are enjoying this phenomenal weather we have been having.

I have a question and am looking to some of you for some thoughts.

Lately I have been spending any free time off work heading down to the lake and fishing from shore. This year I would really like to up my carp game.
That being said, sometimes while fishing for carp, I'll see a pike sitting in casting range. What would you recommend as far as terminal tackle goes to easily switch from a carp rig, to a pike setup without having to cut the line and retie every time?

Is there something that won't inhibit my carp rig, but could quickly and effortlessly allow me to attach a pre-tied leaderwith a swivel?

thanks all! looking forward to your thoughts. Any photos of existing products would also be helpful.

A second rod would be ideal.

This way if you see a bass or pike or whatnot, it's as easy as reeling in your other rig and casting the other set up.

Thx for the reply. Although I agree two rods would be ideal, I like to slim down my gear as best I can and only keep one rod with me.

How about a snap swivel on your mainline with a swivel to your carp set up or another swivel to your pike leader and lure.

dont remember what these are called but this would work. You can have any rig setup and use a swivel to connect it to this snap on your mainline.
