When looking at rigs in the modern carp fishing world you will probably find yourself wanting to try all the weird and wonderful rigs that you see in the magazines and on the DVDs. While this isn’t a bad thing and you can experiment and find what works for you in particular fishing situations. Most people, myself included will find a rig that will suit 90% of their fishing with only needing to change up depending on the situation. I am going to provide a guide on how to make a rig that will suit most situations, isn’t overcomplicated and will catch fish just as well as any fancy looking alternative!
Above you will see all of the tools and components required to make this rig. This includes a curve style hook (Nash Fang X, Korda Kurv etc), some standard size swivels (Nash, Korda etc), a baiting needle, pulling tool, silicone tubing, boilie stops, coated braid, scissors and finally a boilie of the same size as you plan to use with the rig. Fig 1.
Peel around 5 inches of coating off of your chosen braid, once complete tie a knotless knot (Fig 1.) Cut off a small piece of silicon around the length shown (Fig 2.)
