I think that stiff hairs can make the hookbait behave unnaturally. It is enough that we have a bait on a hair anyway, but on a stiff hair I think ejection or even not taking the bait in in the first place is increased. I also found stiffer hairs with stiff rigs increased hookpulls for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how I did my rigs on Thursday with just the hair stripped but I added a 1cm split in the coating to make a supple hinge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo7uk Posted September 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 What would be the best way to use my rigidity stiff fluorocarbon but retain a supple hair section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpz_31 Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 http://www.korda.co.uk/howto/rigs/iq-d-rig you could have a look at this rig. ive never used it personally but I think its got the dynamics your looking for, plus theres a few other rigs for you to get a idea or 2 from.

Using dental floss loop it through the hook eye to create the hair. With your hooklink material, a knotless knot down the shank holds the dental floss in place. Or tie the hair to the eye of the hook, and cover it with shrink tube to hold it to the hook shank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo7uk Posted September 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Thanks for the suggestions I'll look into it. I'm on the bank as we speak and definitely not happy with the stiff rig and how it sits with the stiff hair and pepperami on so I've put out the full braid one on one rod and an old 360 rig with partially stripped braid hook link on the other but I've sharpen up the hook since it was so old.

In the pic I have used a braided mainline hair as crayfish will cut dental floss or light mono. The hair is just granny knotted to the hook eye, then shrink tube over the hooklink knot, eye and shank so the hair comes off opposite halfway between the point and barb, the best place I have found for decent hooking. pablo7uk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great thanks. Well I've had one fish out today on the combi 360 rig with a pop up but the fishing is pretty slow all round the lake. Only a little one but better than nothing! elmoputney, crusian, commonly and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo7uk Posted September 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Very tidy rig wallet, mine is much dirtier haha! Finished the day with a 2nd fish on the combi 360 rig with a pineapple pop up. Safe to say that one worked really well. Had nothing all day on pepperami on a full braid hooklink crusian, gazmc and finchey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
