What rigs.

[Cliff]

Hi All.

What rigs do you favour. Simple or the latest all singing and dancing rig.

Myself I like to keep my rigs real simple,and use a bog standard hair rig. And for pop up's the same rig, but with a shot about an inch below the hook.

Simplicity itself, knotless knot standard hair rig, for both bottom and pop-ups, however I use the Solar depth charge pop-up weights, purely for the fact that they do not damage your line and can easily be slid up or down the hook length. Hook length is the kryston snake bite and the all important hook I use the kamazan B775 in size 8.

Simple rig for me too..
Usually a size 10 Mugga with a line aligner on a 6 inch hooklength from suffix stealth. Loop in the other end and so I can pull through my pva bags

i also use a simple rig, fox inside, knotless knot, fox series 2 hooks.

[BoilieBaron]

used to use 15 inch nylon hooklinks with knotless knot fox series 2 size 6. but I'm now using 5 inch Mantis with the last inch stripped off but the same size hook.

I never use popups, just dont have confidence in them other than zig rigs

What hooks do you use btw? I tried to use esp raptors but found them blunt too easily, im looking for a wide gaped hook with a slight inturned eye maybe that stay sharp.......

do you always change hooks also after you catch a fish even if the hook looks ok?

My fave rig has got to be the withy pool rig,it's simple and easy to make can use popups or bottom baits with this rig

standard 4 me aswell want 2 try the helicopter rig tho aswell i just use 10 lb mono hooklink to knotless knot and a size 10 kamasan hook (cant remember which 1 or size 8 or 10 animal hooks wana try the raptors tho! ;D

i have 3 rigs i use.
1)
Sometimes i will use a skinned hooklink such as stealth skin although the new kic bak is excellent.

2)
12 or 15lb mono hooklink. I sometimes feel that using mono when everbody else is using a skinned hooklink can make a difference.

3)
I use a 3-4" braided hooklink whan using a PVA bag with the lead and hooklink inside the bag.

For pop ups i use stealth skin with a bit stripped back and a kwik change pop up weight.

I use ESP Big "t" in sizes 10-6 and always use a line aligner and a bit of silicone on the bend.
