Thanks for the tips I was just trying to think of a diff approch :S i understand what was said about the tubing being a hinderence so heres my final attempt at this kind of rig :S (Pics below) Ive put the tubing thatwaso n the shank over the hair and nicked the tubing ( through the hair loop) with the hookpoint - this stops it coming off the hook and stops its bending under the hook shank .... <>Chris P.S - if i had a float stop this would be alot easier :D

Now dnt fight boys only joking i guess you critisim could have been slighly more subtle i dnt mind though!! i have made a few changes to the rig already as i said il post a pik tomorro !! Thanks lads <>Chris

it was only an idea but yeah i understand what your saying and yes i have been mening to watch some of the korda vids - saw some of on bait making - pretty damn good ! <>Chris

in response to carpinod150 - yes the hair could slip off but if - as i have now down - you tuck the hair btween the two bits of tubing its catches against the tubing on the shank - i have also trimmed down the tubing to increase hooking potential - ill post a pic tomorro of it !!! just to say i think this is only good for a pop-up!! <>Chris

it had crossed my mind that the tubing might hinder hooking potential but its needs little tube to help stop the hair loop from slideing :S but yes it is very much like a D rig :D BTW the hook that ''looks like a razor'' ( ) is a ESP Raptor size 7 thanks! <>Chris

Hi can you tell me if youve seen a rig like this before and if it would prove better than other designs ... its based on the ''D'' Rig but because i dont have the nessecery tackle to amke it i came up with this .... the end of the hair is looped back on the hook and the knot and hook is covered in tubing leaving the hook point exposed Pics below : Thanks for reading i dont mind if you tell me this is a rubbish idea <> Chris

sounds good mate saving 20 pound !!! good luck for when you go <> Chris

here mate try this website should give you a few places http://www.go-fish.co.uk/bedfordshire.htm good luck with whatever you choose..... <>Chris

I wound just use a maggot clip ( Korda) put on th hair rig same effect as a medusa jus easier !!! sharpen the point on the clip though its not very sharp !!!! <> Chris

Take gidneyboy's advice go to pixies mere!! very good lake pegs 16-17 and 39 are good have fun !! <> Chris
