Choose the Hook Size
Match the hook size to your hook bait, target fish and fishery rules. Larger hooks can suit bigger baits, while smaller hooks provide a more discreet presentation.
Everything you need to know about the rig, how it is designed to fish and how to choose the right configuration.
Our Blowback Spinner Rigs represent the ultimate evolution of the classic Spinner presentation, purpose-built specifically for bottom baits, wafters, and critically balanced hookbaits over clean lakebeds. By combining the 360-degree rotation of a spinner swivel with a sliding blowback rig ring on the shank, this setup creates an anti-eject system that is practically impossible for carp to blow out.
Hand-tied and precision-crimped by Ricks Rigz, these premium ready made Blowback Spinner carp rigs ensure your terminal setup kicks cleanly away from the lead on every cast, giving you total confidence in your presentation whether fishing short spots or casting to distance.
Whether you're fishing over clean gravel, firm sand, hard clay, or light silt, the stiff boom construction ensures your rig stays flat, stealthy, and completely tangle-free.
A standard Spinner Rig excels with pop-ups, but the Blowback Spinner Rig adapts those fast-turning mechanics for dense bottom baits and wafters. When a feeding carp inhales the bait and attempts to spit it out, the hookbait slides smoothly along the hook shank via the rig ring.
This separation allows the carp to blow the bait away while the bare, sharp hook point stays locked inside the mouth, reacting instantly to prick the lower lip. Mounted on a flexible hair section, your hookbait displays complete natural movement, making it effortless for cautious fish to vacuum in.
Constructed using memory-free 25lb breaking strain stiff boom material (available in Clear Amnesia, Black, or our unique Camo Fleck), the boom can be straightened easily by hand without needing a kettle. Precision-crimped with 0.6mm double-barrel crimps, the connections offer maximum tensile strength without damaging the material integrity.
Every rig is produced with strict bench consistency, ensuring you spend less time tying complex terminal tackle on the bank and more time catching fish.
The Blowback Spinner Rig is particularly effective when targeting pressured carp that have become wise to traditional hair rigs and standard rigid presentations.
It is the ideal choice for:
Depending on your venue choice and targeted baiting strategy, these rigs perform best with:
Bankside Tip: Always test your rig in the margins prior to casting out. If using a wafter, verify that the hook lies flat on the bottom while the bait hovers just above the shank. If the hook lifts, simply trim the wafter slightly with scissors until the hook lays flat. When pairing with a PVA stick, nick the hook point directly into the mesh bag for guaranteed anti-tangle protection.

Practical answers based on this rig's setup, hookbait compatibility and the conditions it is designed to fish in.
This is a Blowback Spinner Rig supplied ready tied and ready to fish. The idea is to give you a dependable starting point, then let you choose the hookbait and final options to suit the water in front of you.
This rig works well with Pop Ups and Wafters. Whichever hookbait you choose, make sure it is balanced to suit the rig so it settles cleanly and reacts quickly when a carp picks it up.
It is a good option over gravel, silt, clay and weed. I would still check the spot before casting, because a clean presentation matters more than the label on the lakebed. If there is weed, debris or very soft silt, adjust the setup so the rig can settle properly.
This is a versatile rig that can be used through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. I would still let the conditions on the day guide the final setup, especially water temperature, fish activity and how confidently the carp are feeding.
This rig can be fished with Pop Up Presentation and Wafter Presentation. The final presentation will depend on the hookbait you choose, its buoyancy and the lakebed you are fishing over, so it is worth checking the rig in the edge before casting out.
