Rig Materials

Rig materials and rigs that can be made using the material. I am going to start of saying this is maybe the most important part of the rig, it will also determine the mechanics of the rig. It is always said keep it plain and simple, so lets start at the most simple and that is stiff rig material, this material has been over looked since coated braids were introduced. I use Fox rigidity, this is a quite stiff material, and all the major hook link manufacturers have their own. Why a stiff rig, well its anti eject just by nature, carp hate to reverse and that's the only way its going to get rid of this type of rig. It has its limitations as well. One thing to keep in mind, use at least ten turns when you whip the knotless knot because this material is notorious for getting out of knotty situations. Then one step up from the stiff rig is the kombi- link, now here we combine two materials, I use amnesia for the stiff part of the rig and then any heavy braid, there are so many but a very good one is Nash super sink. Merlin, super silk is also good for this type of rig. The two materials are joined, there are so many knots in use today, and I can say I use the double ginner for this. This is a good way to present bait when using pva (funnel web), by using the different materials what Please login or register to see the full article.
