Subterfuge Fluorocarbon Bottom Bait Rig

Subterfuge Fluorocarbon Bottom Bait Rig
September 13th, 2008

This rig is a slight alternative to a normal knotless knot fluorocarbon rig and has a very good hooking ability. I’ve found this rig to work best with two bottom baits on the hair.

The components used to tie this rig are Gardner Super Soft Fluorocarbon and a Gardner Incizor Carp Hook.

Step 1.

Cut about 12 inches of the Subterfuge hooklink and tie a small overhand loop in one end for your hair. (See picture below)

Step 2.

Thread the other end through the eye of the hook so the hair is sitting up the back of the shank and hold it to you desired length. (See picture below)

Step 3.

Now whip the flourocarbon up the shank 7 times making sure that the 1st turn goes away from the join in the eye. (See picture below)

Step 4.

Then hold the hair away from the shank and whip the flourocarbon another 6 times up the shank, this holds the hair off the back of the hook. (See pictures below)

Step 5.

Now whip one time back down the shank before threading the hooklink though the eye from back to front. (See picture below)

Step 6.

Finish the rig off with a figure of eight knot so it can be attached to a clip or a five turn grinner knot to a ring swivel, the rig needs to be able to move freely at the lead end.
