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.

Our Ready Made Solid PVA Bag Combi Rigs replicate the ultra-effective short combi setup showcased by Danny Fairbrass in Korda Masterclass 8. Designed specifically to drop inside compact PVA solid bags, this rig pairs a ultra-short ¾ to 1-inch supple section with a rigid, crimped boom to ensure immediate hook engagement the moment a carp sifts through your pellet haul.
Hand-tied and precision-crimped by Ricks Rigz, these premium ready-made PVA bag rigs feature genuine 20lb Korda Loop Braid. Danny favors this specialized braid because its subtle semi-stiffness keeps the hook kicked away from the boom, preventing softer braids like Super Natural from collapsing back on themselves inside a tightly packed bag.
Connected via a streamlined loop-to-loop system, the rig allows you to swap out blunted hooks in seconds without re-tying your boom, giving you maximum efficiency when fish are feeding hard over small particle and pellet beds.
The mechanics of the Solid PVA Bag Combi Rig rely on absolute compact aggression. When a carp feeds over a tight pile of pellets from a solid bag, its mouth stays low to the deck and movement is minimal. Long, supple rigs allow fish to shake the bait out before tension reaches the lead.
By keeping the Korda Loop braid section under an inch long and joining it directly to a crimped 25lb Amnesia or ~50lb Camo Fleck boom, the lead's weight reacts instantly upon suction. The moment the hookbait is taken, the rig flips downwards to pin the bottom lip before the carp can eject it.
The stiff crimped boom section ensures the rig kicks out straight away from an inline lead as the PVA film dissolves, leaving your hookbait presented cleanly on top of your free feed every single drop.
Every rig is produced with strict bench consistency, taking the tedious fine-tuning off your hands so you can drop your solid bags with total confidence.
The Solid Bag Combi Rig is a year-round bite-producer that excels whenever you need a concentrated parcel of attraction over any lakebed substrate.

Practical answers based on this rig's setup, hookbait compatibility and the conditions it is designed to fish in.
This is a PVA Solid Bag Combi Rig - DF Style 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 Wafters and Bottom Baits / Boilies. 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, mud, 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 Wafter Presentation, Bottom Bait Presentation and Critically Balanced 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.
