My hairs falling out

[richchappy]

I have brought some first contact hair rigs and on both the hairs have come off whilst fishing how do you attach a new one?

You make your own rigs so you don't have that problem.

 

You have just found one of the problems with buying Ready Made Rigs, there are others:

You can't change the length of the Hooklink,

you can't change the length of the Hair to suit your own Fishing.

You don't know how perfectly the Knots have been tied.

 

I don't ever trust anyone else's knots in my fishing, and even my mates don't trust mine, despite the fact I have not had a knot slip or break in a long time.

 

If you do need to put a new hair on try tying the hair to the eye of the hook with Hair Braid or thin nylon, if its covered, Sorry, you are stuck.

 

My best suggestion is to learn to tie rigs yourself as no Shop Bought Rig will cover all of the situations that you are likely to face. :D

^^^^ yep totally agree make your own. also works out cheaper in the long run

Lol:D

 

What do you want to fish with?

 

Are most people fishing your Water(s) with Braid, coated Braids Mono or Fluorocarbon?

 

Find out what they are doing, what has worked in the past and do something different.

Most people on my Water fish with Fluoro, so I fish with Coated Braid.

 

Coated Braids, Mono and Fluorocarbon resist Tangles better than standard Braids, but standard Braid because of its suppleness can make ejection of the hook difficult.

 

Mono and Fluoro because of their unexpected rigidity/stiffness can make ejection difficult.

 

Coated Braids mean you can fish with a Stiff section and a Supple section. because the Carp may not expect it, it may make ejection Difficult.

 

Find what works for you and have every confidence in it. :D
