Starting off brand new, rigs can be a mind field. 

The very best starter rig would be a standard hair rig for all occasions. 

It wod be easy to say, but YouTube vids would give a good example.

Thanks bud. I've been doing standard hair rigs. There quite easy. I wanted to up my game tho. So I bought a load of different ones all ready made  

This IQ D rig with a swivel on the hook is baffling me. If i ho on you tube vids. All I get is a technical how to tie them

Thanks anyway

My main 2 rigs are now the Ronnie rig for pop ups and loop to loop combi rigs... Both with bait screws

[Dazgunner]

Really appreciate that. Yes it is all foreign. 

Although its the right rig, it hasn't got the swivel finished on the hook. So its not what I need.

Thanks tho bud

[Dazgunner]

Ok, yes I've also bought the ronnie rig, with bait screw. That's easy how to attach the bollie or the pop up. 

I will try this

Never heard of the loop to loop rig tho

I use korda boom and make a loop on either end and krimp in place forming a loop on either end.... 

Then with some stripped back braid tie a knotless not with the braid doubled... Cut off the hair and replace with bait screw and bead.

But I tie my own... with Nash Pin Point hooks and bait screw. 

[Dazgunner]

Wow, thanks for the loop rig explanation, 

But thats was very technical for me. Im partially sighted, so I need things slready fone for me

You sound like you really know what you're doing

[Dazgunner]

Can you buy the loop rig pre ready made and ready yo go?

And, how is the loop rig different from the others?

Don’t worry about what swivel type you have.the principle is still the same

[Dazgunner]

Ok....., theres no hair. Just a swivel. How do i attach the bollie or pop up?

[framey]

Can you not post a photo or link to the rig so we can see what you Actually have 

we are all guessing atm Lol

Use your baiting needle to make a hole and then pull the swivel into the bait, might need a small loop of line or a bait band to fit a hairstop to.

What is the black line with the crimp on? in the ronnie hook picture

This is the description 

3 BOOM Ronnie Rigs TEFLON hooks carp hair rigs size 6 hook can do black silt or camo booms

[Dazgunner]

So I put some sort of band on the swivel, do I can use a bait stop?

Is that correct

Yes, you will need a a little loop popping out the bait to take a bait stop, or your pop up will pop off, nothing worse than bringing a rig in that has no bait on it.

[Dazgunner]

Ok....im new to all this. Im paryially sighted, so i need ready made rigs.

How do I put a band on the swivel?

Makes ask why use a swivel and not a hair or a bait screw. Is it bad design

I was going to make a comment before reading your last post, I'm glad I held back for a change😖😉

 

My honest answer is many rigs are sold just to sell more tackle for tackle brands, and confuse anglers, however you have a genuine reason for buying ready made rigs.

I would still buy just a standard line aligned hair rig for bottom baits or D-rig for pop-ups.

 

There are a couple of ways of attaching bait to the swivel:

Put a pop-up or bottom boilie on a baiting needle, A pellet band through the swivel, then the pellet band through itself, then put the boilie on the band and stop it with a boilie stop.

Or you could tie a pop-up to it.

it doesn’t matter if it is a rig ring or a swivel the principle is the same
