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 Slip D Rigs are purpose-built for one of the most effective and aggressive carp fishing setups around – engineered to offer unbelievable bait movement and unrivaled hooking efficiency that stops wary carp from blowing out your hookbait.
Hand-tied and individually inspected by Ricks Rigz, these premium ready made Slip D carp rigs deliver a clean, tangle-free presentation that resets perfectly on every cast, giving you complete confidence whenever your bait is in the water.
Whether you're fishing over clear gravel, soft silt, or a scattered bed of boilies, the Slip D presentation gives you maximum control over your hook mechanics. Combined with an ultra-smooth sliding D-loop, this setup is lethal for pressured venue carp, cautious feeders, and landing more of the fish you hook.
A high-performance Slip D carp rig needs to offer complete freedom of movement. When a carp attempts to spit out the hookbait, the bait slides down the D-loop away from the hook shank, leaving the bare hook point exposed to drive deep into the bottom lip instantly.
Our rigs are expertly tied with this anti-eject mechanic in mind, providing a natural presentation whether you prefer fishing critically balanced wafters, plastic corn, or dense bottom baits.
The sliding mechanics keep your hookbait sitting at the optimal angle to drop into the mouth floor, drastically improving your hookup ratio on heavily fished lakes.
Every rig is produced with strict consistency, ensuring you spend less time tying terminal tackle on the bank and more time catching fish.
The Slip D rig is particularly effective when targeting pressured carp that have learned to outsmart standard hair rigs and stiff rigs.
It is the ideal choice for:
Because the hookbait moves independently of the hook, the weight of the bait cannot be used by the carp to leverage or shake the hook free during ejection.
The second a carp inhales the bait and tries to blow it back out, the bait slides freely along the D-section. This mechanical separation leaves the sharp hook point sitting downward, grabbing an immediate hold in the mouth before the carp can react.
If you're looking for a dependable, high-performance ready made Slip D rig for carp fishing, this is a proven pattern trusted by modern carp anglers year-round.
Depending on your chosen hook size and rig balance, these rigs are incredibly versatile and perform best with:
A barrel wafter sitting neatly against the sliding ring or bait screw provides the ultimate balanced bait presentation on the lakebed.
Ricks Rigz has supplied carp anglers with hundreds of thousands of professionally tied rigs trusted on waters nationwide.
Every Slip D Rig is hand-tied and quality checked prior to dispatch, ensuring you receive consistent, ultra-sharp terminal tackle that is ready for action immediately.
Simply attach your preferred hookbait to the sliding ring or bait screw, clip the rig onto your lead setup, add a small PVA bag if desired, and cast out with total confidence.

Practical answers based on this rig's setup, hookbait compatibility and the conditions it is designed to fish in.
This is a Slip D 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, 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 Pop Up Presentation, 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.
