hey all found a cracking carp rig news or old to carp really good

here it is





With that in mind I use simple rigs for 99.9% of my fishing, and the image above shows the breakdown of components from the mainline right through to the hook for the braid set-up I use. My preferred hooklink is Rod Hutchinson Edge 2000 braid in 12lb breaking strain. At one end I tie a simple knotless knot hair and attach a small line aligner with shrink tubing before tying a small overhand loop knot at the other end for fitment to the gizmo. My terminal set-up is to feed the mainline through a tail rubber, safety clip and another cut-down tail rubber, and then tie to the eye on the the Gizmo link using a Palomar Knot; which I’ve found to be one of the strongest knots there is with minimal slip or strangulation.


Complete braid set-up; Keep it Simple!

Once the loop on the rig has been slipped onto the gizmo it’s simply a case of clipping on the weight and pulling the whole thing together. The result is a very simple, slimline, and extremely effective braid set-up. Depending on how I want the braid to sit, I may rub some rig putty up and down the hooklink to drop it on the lake bed, but more often than not I will leave it free as I favour critically balanced approaches that allow the bait to move about when under the scrutiny.

well done paddy,a lot of us use this kind of rig already,the one important rule to remember is that the tail rubber shouldn't be pushed too hard onto the safety clip,
the idea of the safety clip is that the lead comes off without too much effort,
ie, if you snap off and the rig is lost,if a carp picks up the bait and hooks itself it doesnt become tethered if the lead snags,
a small amount of pressure will release the lead.
