How to: Hair Rig
On the first How to, I will show you how to tie a hair rig. The hair rig is the basic and standard rig that every carp angler started out with, when peoples angling skills improve over time they sometimes revert back to this basic rig and catch more than the most complex rigs.
You only need 7 items to construct this rig
- Hook (size is down to you but I prefer size 6)
- Coated braid hook link
- Braid stripper
- Boilie
- Hair stopper
- Scissors
- Baiting needle
Please watch the video below. If your having trouble head over to my youtube channel
step 1
Cut the coated braid 10''-12'' long and tie a small loop at one end (use the figure of 8 loop)
step 2
Push the baiting needle through the boilie then attach it to the small loop, then push the boilie onto the braid hook link
step 3
Add hair stopper onto the braid hook link to prevent the boilie falling off
step 4
Thread the other end of the braid hook link through the back of the hook eye, you want the hair long enough to dangle below the curve of the hook
step 5
Wrap the line around the hook 6-7 times on the shank then thread hook link back through the back of the eye of the hook and pull tight. You've tied a hair rig with the knotless knot
step 6
To finish the rig make another small loop at the end of the hook link then thread on an anti tangle sleeve
Your know ready to hit the lakes and catch lots of fish
