First off, Welcome to the Forums, John!

 

Im goint to assume that your talking aboiut Fox Rigidity Hooklength material.

 

A simple Knotless knot will be just the job for most of your needs mate.

 

Look at the Rig Tying Sticky for information on how to tie the Knotless knot

 

One thing of paramount importance, is to make sure you always come through the back of the eye! As this helps to keep the hook turning the right way, for it to get a good purchase.

 

Now one tip I would suggest is after tieing the simple overhand loop. Add a boilie to the "hair" (over the loop), but dont add a boilie stop. Now with your chosen sizwe of boilie (or whatever you want to use as bait), Line the boilie upto the hook till it gets to a place you are happy with it (I generally go with about 5-10 ml off the shank of the hook). Nip the line tight. Pull the boilie off, and whip the knotless knot.

 

Good luck.

If your new to carping ridgity is quite a tough material to work with similar to esp's bristle filament so I wouldnt recomend trying to learn knots using this. I would go for a more suppler mono or a braid.
