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 Solid Bag Rigs pair the incredible catch efficiency of short-hooklink solid PVA bag fishing with the exceptional holding power of One More Cast (OMC) terminal tackle. Designed with ultra-short braided hooklinks (typically 3 to 4 inches), this setup guarantees that your hookbait lands perfectly presented right in the center of your concentrated loose feed, no matter what substrate sits beneath the bag.
Hand-tied and bench-inspected by Ricks Rigz, each rig utilizes the uniquely shaped OMC Lock Hook, renowned for its superior hook-up ratio and anti-loss security. The hook is fitted with an aggressive OMC Dazzler Aligner and an OMC Long Distance Hook Bead to aggressively extend the hook gape and force the razor-sharp point to rotate straight into the carp's bottom lip upon take.
Because the supple braid section is kept ultra-short, the rig pulls tight against your inline lead the split second a carp inhales the bait and lifts its head, triggering a powerful bolt effect and a savage bite.
Match your rig setup to your chosen feed or venue environment using our selection of heavy, fast-sinking supple braids and OMC aligner options:
Every rig undergoes strict bench quality control, ensuring exact bead positioning, correct aligner seating, and pin-sharp hooks right out of the packet.
The Lock Hook Solid Bag Rig is an all-season workhorse that excels across day-ticket venues, syndicate waters, and heavily pressured fisheries.

Practical answers based on this rig's setup, hookbait compatibility and the conditions it is designed to fish in.
This is a Lock Solid Bag 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, Pellets 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, 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.
