Hair Position

[blanked_again]

I'm sure I've seen some rigs where the hair comes off the middle of the shank on a knotless knot instead of the bottom - can anyone help as to whether I'm correct, when it may be used and how to tie.

 

Thanks

i have posted a picture in the pop ups thread mate, it is a method i am yet too of tried hoping it will pay off in the summer though.

to tie the rig do everything you normally would on a knotless rig, instead of tying a standard knotless knot whip around the shank 5 times and then hold the hair at a 90 degree angle from the shank of the hook, continue to whip around a further 5 times and pass through the eye of the hook, very simple realy.

Its simply a different presentation of your hookbait. I've used it when Floater fishing with a very short hair, keeping the Biscuit close to the hook. Found it can work better than a normal hair for floater fishing.

 

It also works well with a pop-up, when you want to keep the hook hidden, but very close to the bottom. Try it with the shot on the hook rig that Frank Warwick likes, or with a pop-up that only just lifts the hook.

it is good to use when using a flourocarbon hooklink it presents the bait at a better angle and when the bait is picked up the hook should be at a more agressive angle and has more chance of catching the fishes mouth.

 

very good for floater fishing ( not the flourocarbon)

Many of your thoughts seem to be along the same lines as mine.
