So, what is your problem exactly? If we know this, then we may be able to then suggest a suitable hooklength material?

Ultima's new line for Zig Rigs looks a good bet...

Or Ultima Flo-cast which is hollow and floats high on the surface wthout needing any floatant and has some good reviews for fishing floating baits for Carp.

But can you get these floating hook length materials to sink? no good if you cant.I would just use a mono your confident in and just grease it up to the last couple of inchs.
And thats my "non indicative opinion"!

Use some stealth and try dapping. That way you can use any hooklength you want! Nothing more exciting than hooking a carp under the rod tip!
