How to tie the best carp rig for carp fishing beginners. This is called a hair rig tied using a knotless knot.
When searching for carp fishing rigs, you will find hundreds or options. This easy carp rig has been tested for years, and is a sure fire way to put big fish on the bank.
To tie this hair rig for carp, you will need a strong, high quality hook in size 2-6. It is extremely important that you use a high quality hook. Carp are very strong and powerful, and have a tendency to straighten out or snap low quality hooks.
Next, you will need braided line, or specialty hook-link material to make the leader section of the rig.
Tie a small loop in one end of a section of braided line/hooklink, and slide the tag end through the back side of the eye of the hook.
Next I show how to tie a knotless knot by wrapping the line around the shank of the hook.
Finally, complete your rig by attaching a strong swivel to the free end of your braided line/hooklink.
I show you how to tie a palomar knot to attach your swivel in the demonstration. The palomar knot is probably the best easy knot to tie when using braided line.
Make sure to use a heavy weight when fishing this carp hair rig. The weight actually helps to hook the fish.
This rig can be used to fish many different carp baits. The best carp bait varies depending on your location, but a good starting point is corn, chick peas, or any type of nut. Pre-made carp boilies are also very effective.
