The advantages of this rig is that it provides all the anti eject properties of a normal fluorocarbon rig but the bait has a lot more movement to help with the flipping and hooking process. The soft hair material also allows the weight of the hook to come into play when the fish picks up the bait.
For this demonstration I used Korda IQ Fluorocarbon, a Korda Wide Gape Hook, a Korda Ring Swivel and ESP Hair Braid.

Step 1.
Remove about 4-5 inches of Hair Braid from the spool dispenser and tie a small overhand loop in one end.

Step 2.
Thread the tag end through the back of the eye of the Korda Wide Gape and hold the hair at the required length.

Step 3.
Moving away from the join in the eye whip round the hook shank 5 times and pass the tag end through the back of the eye again.

Step 4.
Now trim the hair braid in front of the eye, then repeat steps 2-3 with the Korda IQ Fluorocarbon but whip up the shank 7 times and twice on the way back down before passing the tag end through the back of the eye and tighten down gently. Then trim the fluorocarbon above the knot leaving just a little fluorocarbon pertruding.




Please note for the purpose of this knot demonstration the Knotless knot with the fluorocarbon was done without the hair braid already on the hook, when tying this rig you will be tying the fluorcarbon over the hair braid Knotless knot.

Step 5.
Using a palomar knot tie the fluorcarbon to the ring on the swivel setting the rig at your desired length making sure to moisten the knot and tighten down gently before trimming the tag end.
Double over the fluorocarbon at the end of the hooklength.

Now tie an over hand knot round the swivel with the doubled over section of fluorocarbon.

Then pass the swivel through the loop created with the fluorocarbon.

Moisten the knot and tighten down gently. Then trim the tag end.

The finished rig should look like this.

All the knots used in this demonstration can be found by using the search bar in the top right hand corner of the blog. The knot used for the hair braid and fluorocarbon at the hook end was a Knotless knot.
If you have been using fluorocarbon rigs but have been getting funny hookholds then this rig could be one solution to the problem.
Give it a go.

Heres another two 20lb+ carp caught as part of an 11 fish catch during a recent winter session. All the fish were landed using snowman hookbaits presented on helicopter rigs incorportating Atomic Jel-E-Wyre Hooklinks and Korda Wide Gape Hooks. The snowman hookbaits were topped with Mainline Hi-Visual Tutti Frutti 10mm Pop-ups or 14mm Solar Juicy Pineapple and N-Butyric pop-ups.

The Korda Hybrid Lead Clip design features an integrally moulded Ring Swivel ensuring that the swivel simply cannot pull free from its housing. This forces lead ejection in the event of it becoming jammed ensuring that carp can be landed easily in weedy, snaggy conditions. The streamlined one-piece design means there are no fiddly locking pegs or hinges to worry about – just connect the leader to one end and the rig to the other! The up rated arm allows leads up to 5ozs to be cast safely even at extreme range and the clip is available in all four of the key translucent Safe Zone colours: weedy green, clay, gravel and silt.
Here is a demonstration on how to set up the Korda Hybrid Lead Clips.

For the purpose of this demonstration I used Korda Dark Matter Rig Tube, Korda Tail Rubbers and a Korda 3oz Pear Lead.
Step 1.
Cut your tubing to your desired length, a couple of inches longer than your rig is enough to prevent tangles and thread your mainline through it.

Step 2.
Now thread on a Korda Tail Rubber. Please ensure you use a Korda Tail Rubber as the Hybrid Lead Clips have been designed to work safely with them.

Step 3.
Then tie your mainline to the eye of the swivel housed in the lead clip using a Palomar knot.

Step 4.
Clip on your desired shape and size of lead, wet the clip and slide the tail rubber into place.

Your setup is now ready for you to attach your desired rig and its away you go.

Give them a try. To purchase click on the above links.

During a recent winter session, when the lake was empty and all the other anglers were at home I landed 7 fish to 25lb 2oz. All the fish were landed using snowman hookbaits presented on helicopter rigs incorportating Atomic Jel-E-Wyre Hooklinks and Korda Wide Gape Hooks. The snowman hookbaits were topped with Mainline Hi-Visual Tutti Frutti 10mm Pop-ups.

Get out there and get catching.

Guru produce two types of inline feeders, the Guru Inline Method Feeder and the Guru Inline Pellet feeder. They are setup the same way but are used with different bait loaded onto the feeder. The Guru Pellet feeder is designed to be used with soft scaulded pellets as loose feed in the feeder and the Method feeder is to be used with a method mix moulded around one side of the feeder, both giving similar presentations with different baits. Both of the Guru feeders come in two sizes, 24 grams and 28 grams.

Step 1.
Remove the small tail rubber and swivel from either end of the feeder, like so.

Step 2.
Now thread you mainline through the tail rubber (Narrow end first) and the feeder.

Step 3.
Attach the swivel supplied to the end of your mainline using a Palomar knot.

Step 4.
Push the tail rubber back into place at the top of the feeder, then pull the swivel back into the bottom of the feeder.

Now to attach the hooklink. If you buy Guru’s readymade hair rigs they will come with a loop tied in the end but if you like to tie your own then tie a loop in the end using a Figure of eight loop knot.
Step 5.
Pass the looped end of the rig though the swivel of the feeder.

Step 6.
Now pass the hook though the loop at the end of the rig.

Step 7.
Pull the hook end of the rig until everything tightens down. The rig will look like this.

Your feeder is now ready to be baited and cast out.

Give them a go. To purchase either the pellet or method feeders click on the the above links.
