Additional details of : Ready Made Flipper Rigs
The bottom bait rig is known by a few names, the Terry Hearn Parrot rig, The Flipper, the claw rig as a couple of examples.
The hair is trapped on the curve of the hook rather than the shank (like a Blowback rig) this improves the mechanics of the rig because as soon as the Carp sucks the bait in the hook is already primed to enter the bottom lip, should the Carp try to eject the bait this just pushes the hook point in slightly further. I offer this rig with a choice of either Wide Gape hooks, curve shank or Nash claw style. This is truly a rig that looks like it shouldn't work but the mechanics makes it very effective.
