whitefinger Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 not the hair on your head! the hair from the bottom of the hook to attach the bait, what sort of hair length do you lot use?? my mate makes his hair rigs so the boillie is right tight under the hook, is the right way or should there be a longer hair? also anyone know what the hooking diffence would be between a long hair and a short hair? cheers Mark Quote
tenchedd Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 ive been useing 14mm boilies with size 8 hook i have about 1cm from the boilie to the hook. i also have put a rubber on the hook shank. not had one carp come off Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Could be an idea to have a read of the 'complicated rigs' thread in the advanced section as there are some views on hair length on here. Quote
london_geeza Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 3" - 4" hairs are normal for me when using bottom baits and braided hooklength. 1" - 2" are normal for mewhen fishing mono hooklength. and a very short hair when fishing pop ups. Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 I'd take Adam's idea. There are so many different variables on Hair Length. Unless you understand why you are using a particular Rig then ou are going to get caught out when it gets sussed by The Carp. London_geeza's hairs are totally different lengths to the way I fish, and probably most other peoples are different from me and him. Quote
