360 rigs ive used for years have never caused the damage claimed in this thread. Thats scientific through real life fishing not theories.only reason I went quiet on this is because uou can only express your actual experiences so many times before monotony sets in. Great rig and no more damage than a regular hair rig on fish of all sizes. Thats me take my word for it or dont. Every one has a right to an opinion. Happy fishing to whatever rig you use. So long as its safe like the 360 is.

I've caught plenty of small carp on it and it hasn't caused any more damage than the initial penetration.

BTW Gaz I remember reading your articles years back. We may not see eye to eye on the 360 rig but I thoroughly enjoyed your articles.

I personally would recommend the 360 over this tungsten rig though. Not too sure about the blob between you and the fish?

Here's an alternative to the exellent 360 rig.. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XgV6RA3MqgM

Ive used this rig for 9+ yrs and never caused that damage.witch hunt and chinese whispers

360 is my go to rig. Even on gravel i use it. I just counter the pop up with a small split shot on the hair so that the hook lays on its front (point and eye toward the ground) so its just balanced wafting. Works a treat. Sometimes ill use a bait band for the hair so i can use different sizes or a snowman on the same rig without having to re-tie due to the stretchyness. I also get my baitbands free from the dentist

I think this rig suffers from witch hunt fever if going by my experience. I just use a stiff link to the hook swivel. Maybe the naysayers dont want you using their very effective rig? Lol!

I use a 360. Better than the chod imo. Never caused any more damage than the initial puncture wound on all sizes.

This guy must have talked on the hook.

Seaguar should be the only F.C on the market. I have NEVER had it break off.

Have you used it yet? Anyone else used it yet?
