Here’s a simple and very effective carp rig based on an old school classic. Tied with a modified inline lead that works as a semi fixed and running lead.

In this video, I explain exactly how to tie the Beausoleil carp fishing rig that I developed at my lake in France. It's a great rig if you're a beginner at carp fishing. It's very simple and easy to make and ideally suited for use on any small estate lake where you are targeting heavily pressured carp of any size. It is also a good catfish rig for lakes. This rig has a high pickup/run conversion rate because it's hard to eject. It's also easy to tie and uses the minimum number of components and knots. I also explain exactly how the rig works in a fishing situation and what benefits this setup brings. I also show the method to use when casting or boating the rig into position.
⚠️ 2023 update: This is what I use nowadays for this rig:
1 x 15mm bottom bait
Size 8 Nash twister
15-20lb Armourlink (finished rig should be 4-6’’ long)
Size 8 ring swivel
Rig tubing
Tail rubber
3.5oz flat pear lead (with the insert taken out)
I developed this big carp rig over 10 years ago. I've had great results with it over the years and I've had great feedback from customers at Beausoleil. This rig is a double bottom bait rig incorporating a knotless knot with a two turn kicker for aggressive hooking potential. What I do is that I replace the standard lead insert with a silicone tail rubber, then the lead acts as a semi fixed rig that converts to a running rig when the carp shakes its head. This dramatically improves bite indication when angling for riggy fish and prevents them from using the lead to throw the hook so this rig acts as an anti-eject rig. It also incorporates a telltale indicator that enables you to tell the difference between a dropped take and an aggressive line bite. This rig enables you to fish with extremely slack lines without compromising bite indication. For me, this is the ultimate running rig setup: very easy to tie and very effective. This rig works on silt beds, hard patches, gravel and light leaf debris.
