Don't fall into the trap of thinking that what you've seen on them films happens all the time, its circumstancial to your particular fishing situation. IE pop ups may well spook those fish in the vid in clear,shallow gravelly conditions, but if it was silty or murky or even dark they may well have taken the bait.
Also don't listen to everything the southern brainwashers comment on, no matter how good the bait, or tricky the rig, hooking a fish still relies on a fair amount of good fortune, commonly known as luck.
There are 'right' and 'wrong' rigs to use in given situations, but its never as black and white as this. Just try and determine on the particular day/lake/swim the best way to present your offerings given the conditions in front of you, then whack em out, sit back and let them do the rest.
I always maintain that carp fishing is easy, its the anglers that make it complicated and difficult...
