How To Tie Korda IQ Xtra Soft Fluorocarbon D-rig
September 30th, 2008
The D-rig has many uses in carp fishing but the D-rig tied in this demonstration is best suited to a bottom bait, my chosen bait for this rig is a bunch of maggots tied onto the rig ring with bait floss.
The components used in the demonstration is the Korda IQ Xtra Soft Flourocarbon Hooklink with a Korda size 8 Wide Gape and a Korda Rig Ring.
Step 1.
Start by cutting a 10 inch length of the IQ hooklink, then attach the hook with a knotless knot leaving an inch above the hook. (See picture below)
Step 2.
Now slide a rig ring onto the IQ above the hook. (See picture below)
Step 3.
Then thread the IQ through the back of the eye to from a small D with the rig ring running on it, trim the excess and blob the end with a lighter being careful not burn yourself or the hooklink below the hook. (See pictures below)
Step 4.
Pull the rig ring gently so the blobbed end sits against the eye, it should look like this.
Step 5.
Now tie a figure of eight loop in the other end of the IQ and trim the tag end. (See picture below)
The finished rig should look like this.
