A very dangerous virus is planned to be released in all Australian freshwater waterways. If this escapes the country (in a travelling anglers damp gear for example) it could destroy the species in many countries around the world.
There are many other concerns with this idea which have not been considered!

I use a basic hair rig for all my fishing, maybe with abit of shrink tubing. The braid I use for the rigs is sufix sheath skin and for hooks I use korda kurv shank size 8 barbless. I've had great results on all the lakes I fish and it works out really cheap as well lol

for me it would have to be the standard knotless knot hair rig for bottom presentation. id use a wide gape hook pattern for this and n trap soft hooklink material, i like to use a kicker or small piece of heat shrink on  this hook as it turns much more aggressively. for my second rig it would have to be Darrel pecks pop up rig, its the most simple pop up rig you can tie (easily found on a google search). for this rig i would use a choddy hook and n trap stiff hooklink material.
 
for me the 2 hooklinks above cover just about any presentation i need to, and tie my other favorite rigs. as for the hooks, the wide gape pattern has landed me more fish than anything else, although i have to say that i have played with the krank hook and im a big fan of that also. as for the choddy hook for pop ups, ive found nothing that sits better. a note on the wide gape, i used korda kaptors first, they very the sharpest hooks ive had straight out of the packet but i did have more than a few bend on me, i now use the wide gape x from korda, ive never had any issues with that hook.

Clone rig and HSR - because they can be modified to fish effectively over pretty much any substrate.
Rig Marole CAMH2O - because the different breaking strains can be used to construct the above rigs perfectly.
Atomic Chodda/Sabre - because they're the best (read: most reliable) hooks in the world IMO.
 
My +1 hooklink would be ESP Tungsten Loaded coated braid, simply because it's the best coated braid I've come across and it's always handy to have some in the box.

If you had to tie and use just 2 rigs : -
 
1 - Which would they be and why?
2 - What hooklink would you use?
3 - Which hooks?
 
Im asking as after reading another thread it made me re-think a bit about what i need to buy.
I don't want to end up with a box full of "Expensive" hooks and hook link materials that i don't/won't use.
 
Thanks
