As Carp anglers ourselves we've been tying carp rigs for over 10 years and decided to utilise that experience by creating Ready Tied Carp Rigs for other anglers on a Full Time basis.
Using only the best components available to us, all of our rigs are created to the highest possible standards and to ensure the best quality we check every single rig for defects or imperfections prior to packaging/despatch. We do not sell any rigs that we wouldn't be willing to use ourselves.
With the customer service we provide, the attention to detail we give and the quality of our products, we're confident that once you've used our rigs you will become a permanent customer.
The Clear D Rig is another deadly rig that has served us well in France and on many UK waters. The Clear hooklink will be almost invisible on the lakebed due to it's light refraction properties and will blend in perfectly with most lakebeds. You can also see a Camo Fleck variation that we have available on the pictures above. A perfect rig to keep in your rigsafe along with the similar IQ German Rig.
With the stiffness of the hooklink and the curve shank of the hook the rig flips instantly when tightened to the lead and will nail the carp in either the bottom lip or scissors. As mentioned above, the clear hooklink will blend in effortlessly with the lakebed and turn almost invisible and definitely make it more difficult for the carp to detect.
I personally use banoffee or live system wafters with this D Rig and have complete confidence in them but any wafter hookbait will be more than sufficient.
As this rig is so versatile it can be used all year round and cast onto most lakebeds with excellent presentation. (If you want to use it amongst weed we recommend using a Heli Leader setup so the bait will have the chance to settle over any weed). As far as additional hookbaits go, you can use fake baits such as corn, maize, tigernuts etc or a wafter straight out of the tub. If you want to go even further you can drill out boilies, tigernuts etc and insert some cork to create your own unique hookbaits.
This particular rig has been used to great effect by Korda anglers on Gigantica and others which were seen on the Masterclass and Underwater series where countless carp were caught by Danny Fairbrass.
To get the best performance from the D Rig you should use a wafter and ensure that the hook is laying flat on the lakebed with the bait hovering above masking the hook.
Rig breakdown:
This particular rig comes with a Curved Hook pattern:-
Curve Shank - The perfect hook pattern for this rig. The curve of the shank leaves the hook sitting at an aggressive angle and primed to prick the bottom lip.
The hooks are Teflon coated and anti glare. Available in sizes 4,6,8 in either Micro Barb or Barbless (we do not crush barbs or modify in any way)
The Boom section is made with a stiff material to kick the bait away from the lead and also give excellent anti tangle and reset properties. The rig mechanics then allow the hook to flip and take hold very quickly once tightened to the lead setup.
We have a few different colours available for this rig from Clear, Camo Green and Camo Fleck. As the boom is memory free you don't need steam to straighten it out if it gets kinked after landing a fish. Simply pull on each end with a rig puller tool a few times and it will straighten in seconds. Different lengths of the hooklink are available.
For attaching your hookbait there are various bait attachment options available such as metal bait screws, rig rings, micro swivels etc which allow you to mount the bait in your preferred method.
There are various shrink tubing kicker colours available on request. The kicker colour can either be chosen to blend in with the lakebed substrate or to stand out and entice quicker bites as proven on the Korda Underwater series. The kicker also enables the hook to flip even quicker but by no means is it really necessary on this rig.
For terminating the rig we add a loop which can then be attached to quick change swivels (lead clip or helicopter setups)
The rig is terminated with a figure of 8 loop knot which is solid and very neat.
If the options you require are not included on the listing just drop us a message and we will be more than happy to make the rigs as required.
TIPS:- We recommend a size 4 hook for this rig.
If you're using a wafter it's always easier to use a bigger hookbait and then trim it with scissors until you get the correct buoyancy so the hook is laying flat and the hookbait is wafting above it and masking the hook from view. The buoyancy of a wafter will vary depending on the size and brand and size so it's always worth testing your rig in the margin or a tub before casting.
