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 Lock Hook Fluorocarbon D Rigs merge the proven, anti-eject mechanics of the classic D-rig with cutting-edge terminal tackle components from One More Cast (OMC). Engineered specifically for wafters, critically balanced hookbaits, and bottom baits, this rig gives you an immediate performance advantage over wary, hard-pressed carp.
Hand-tied and precision-checked by Ricks Rigz, each rig combines the aggressively sharp OMC Lock Hook with an OMC Dazzler Aligner. The Dazzler Aligner dramatically extends the sweep and opens up the gape of the hook, ensuring instant turning action and a rock-solid hook hold as soon as the bait is sucked in.
The sliding D-loop mechanics allow your wafter to slide up the hook shank toward the eye upon ejection, rendering the hook point heavy and anchoring it straight into the carp's lower lip—a setup favored by top industry anglers like Danny Fairbrass.
Choose between two high-performance hooklink materials tailored to your venue's conditions:
Every rig is tied under strict quality control from hook eye to swivel termination, delivering out-of-the-packet perfection on every cast.

This is a The Lock Fluorocarbon D Rigs 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 and clay. 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 and Bottom Bait 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.
