Kd rig

[terryjones]

Thinking of trying this rig out has anyone used it?

Is it as good as the hype?

I've used it quite often in the past using critically balanced baits but honestly don't believe it's any better than a normal braided knotless knot rig .

 

Imo my best results were using a pop up with a shot on the hair .

Yeah that's my plans with it I'm booked for 3 nights on a water and very shallow pop ups work well just thought may give me better hooking potential

Think I'd be putting some pva to trap the hair on the cast as well unless it's going in a bag. Apologies if that was the plan anyway

It definitely works, personally I prefer a drilled bottom bait, with a cork insert, on a fairly long and supple hair. It partly works because of the aggressive angle between the bait and hook, but I think it mainly works because of the way it is ejected. When the bait is ejected, it drags the hook out from the eye end of the hook first, giving the point of the hook a better chance of findng purchase.

 

It's for that reason that I don't like rigs with tubing or hook stops on or near the bend of the hook. In that case, when the bait is ejected, it drags the hook out from the bend first. (I know they do work, but I think it lessens your chances).
