Kevin Maddocks and Len Middleton first introduced the hair rig in 1981 in the UK. This method is a tried-and-tested classic. So, as the rig enters a Carp’s mouth, the hook can do so unimpeded by the bait, allowing for more predictable rig mechanics and, ultimately, greater hooking potential. Its primary function is to separate the bait from the hook this leaves the hook completely exposed. The Hair Rig is one of the most basic and commonly used rigs for Carp fishing. However, as the sleeve only grips the swivel tightly, in the event of a break off the fish will safely be able to pull the swivel from the lead and swim off without the heavy weight attached. (For simplicity’s sake, I’m assuming that readers are using a “semi-fixed bolt” weight set up like the one featured below.) Note how the swivel holding the rig enters the rubber sleeve at the base of the weight? This allows for the weight to remain in place and act as an anchor when the carp goes to take the bait, leading the fish to “bolt” in alarm. So, let’s cut to the chase: Here are my top five rigs for Carp fishing! Choosing one is impossible, but choosing a handful of favourites is a little easier. If you’ve read my previous article, Top Five Best Baits for Carp Fishing, then you know that answering such a question demands consideration of so many variables that I couldn’t possibly narrow the selection down to one “ultimate” bait. (Besides, maybe, what is the best bait for Carp?) What are the best rigs for Carp? As a Carp fishing guide (and all-around Carp fishing enthusiastic), this is, perhaps, the question I’m asked most frequently.
