steaming hooklinks

[bigjenno1]

just bought some korda hybrid

ive got a few grey areas (as iv never used it)

 

1. do i steam just the nots or hole length

 

2. after steaming can i keep it in my rigwallet or do i have to

use it strait away

 

3. how much do i have to strip back(is that just ton make tying

hiars easyer)

 

 

thanks 4 your time lads

If you steam the whole length it will straighten the Hybrid out as it's well curly.It will keep in a rig wallet as straight as it cools and stripping back creates a hinge rig.Ideally you want enough to give the bait flexibilty to waft into the carps mouth but leaving the coating on will create a different rig perhaps giving the carp something they've never seen before.

I use hybrid for most of my rigs and i find that it doesnt always have to be steamed. What i do sometimes in the summer is leave it in the sunlight for acouple of minutes then just pull it straight. If there no sun just warm it in your hands or pull it straight and warm it in your mouth.
