Back to�Basics�A Simple�Rig�
When looking at rigs in the modern�carp fishing world you will probably�find yourself wanting to try all the�weird and wonderful rigs that you see�in the magazines and on the DVDs.�While this isn’t a bad thing and you can�experiment and find what works for�you in particular fishing situations.�Most people, myself included will find a�rig that will suit 90% of their fishing�with only needing to change up de-�pending on the situation. I am going to�provide a guide on how to make a rig�that will suit most situations, isn’t over-�complicated and will catch fish just as�well as any fancy looking alternative!�
Above you will see all of the tools and�components required to make this rig.�This includes a curve style hook (Nash�Fang X, Korda Kurv etc), some standard�size swivels (Nash, Korda etc), a baiting�needle, pulling tool, silicone tubing,�boilie stops, coated braid, scissors and�finally a boilie of the same size as you�plan to use with the rig.�
Peel around 5 inches of coating off of�your chosen braid, once complete tie a�knotless knot (Fig 1.)�
Cut off a small piece of silicon around�the length shown (Fig 2.)�

Cut the required length of braid from�the spool, we usually aim for rigs�around 6 - 8 inches in length. Now you�can thread the piece of silicon onto the�braid (Fig 3.)�
You now need to thread the hook�through the silicon (Fig 4.) ensuring�that the hook point faces the hair you�tied earlier, this means when the sili-�con is moved to the shank of the hook�the hair will be on the top.�
Next you should add your boilie to the�hair and attach with the boilie stop,�this will allow you to gauge how far the�boilie is from the hook, we usually aim�for around 5mm (Fig 5.)�
Once decided you need to tie a knot-�less knot to attach the hook properly�(Fig 6.)�
Finally you need to attach your swivel�completing the rig. This rig can also be�easily adapted for different baits, for�example length depending on boilie�and particle, it can also be used for�pop ups if required by adding a shot or�some putty.�

The finished rig should look something like the below:�
