ozric Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Not a case of which rig is favourite, more to do with how suitable for the carp or conditions of a particular venue. For example, Scorpion rig is a big fish only rig, it's too damaging to smaller carp. The rules on the venue I fish doesn't allow helicopter or silt/chod rigs. Snake rig is really only something to be used on heavily pressured waters. Stiff rigs are limited to fish that feed by picking baits rather than those that suck/blow as they feed. Right rig for the right conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbaits Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Do you use all them types of rigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozric Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Nope. Blowback, D-ring ant straight forward hair rigs mainly on my current venue but it's a new water to me so I'm learning what's what. Last venue I was on utilised stiff rigs and silt rigs a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 You have already asked for favourite rigs: https://forum.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=27522 Each rig has its own purpose as Ozric has stated. The first step on from the Basic Hair is simply to play with the length of the Hair and/or Hooklink. The next step forward in the rig evolution is the extending hair or the D-rig. If I told you that in 20years of Carping my rigs are almost identical to when I started and I have caught from quite a few different venues. In fact on this Thread: https://forum.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=22185, the top two rigs are what I use nearly all the time with confidence. The only difference is I have gone from Mono to Braids, back to mono/fluorocarbon and returned to braids/coated braids as I found that with stiffer rig materials I had more hookpulls, especially in the shorter hooklinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
