Constructed using a Supple braid, These rigs follow the bottom due to the supple nature of the braid, The subtle camouflaged finish of the braid also helps it to blend in to most lake beds. The Slip D presentation provides some natural bait movement and allows some separation between the bait and the hook, combined with the in-turned eye of the hook this gives optimum opportunity for the hook to flip and nails the fish in the bottom lip most of the time. The shrink tube kicker also enhances the anti eject properties of the rig. These rigs are also perfect for method feeders as well should you fish that method.
The rig itself is very versatile and comes in a range of options, if you are fishing bottom baits then a bait screw is best suited to that style, If you are fishing a balanced or pop up bait then a micro swivel is the best option. This will give you something to tie your bait floss too ( a top tip is to use a small pop up and some live maggots to make a Medusa style rig, awesome when you have maggots in your pva bag or method mix). You may find a small bit of rig putty may be required to balance the rig.
This rig is terminated in a large loop to allow you to loop to loop on your swivel or stems.
Practical answers based on this rig's setup, hookbait compatibility and the conditions it is designed to fish in.
This is a Solid Bag Slip 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 Pop Ups, Wafters, Bottom Baits / Boilies and Artificial Baits. 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 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.
