coated braid help

[diesel81]

could anybody tell me how to use coated braid this is the first time ive used it and im dammed if i can get it right i either strip to much off or not enough so do you tie a hair first of after you,ve worked out where you want the hook

[jules007]

you dont have to strip coated braid but you get better presentation, try stripping about 6 inches then tie the small loop for the hair and then put the hook on with knotless knot to create a hinged rig

I found using coated braid as a stiff hair is good (dont strip any). If not then mentioned above is a good way.

try looking up FOX Essential Guide To Carp Rigs on you tube. lots of dif rigs including coated braid and very nicely shown.
