Which rig works best with wafters?
Bailiff's answer, from the Carp Army rig library and what members have caught on.
Bailiff says: KD rig
The KD rig is purpose-built for wafters, with an aggressive hook angle that flips and grabs hold as the carp tests the balanced bait. It shines on clean spots and holds up brilliantly at range, making it the natural choice for wafter presentation.
KD rig
A knotless knot tied so the hair exits partway down the shank, giving an aggressive hook angle.
Parts
Curve shank hook, size 4 to 6
Soft braid hooklink, 15 to 20lb
Hair stops
Size 8 swivel
Lead clip and tail rubber
2.5oz lead
Wafter, 15mm
How to tie it
- Tie the hair loop and thread the hook.
- Make two whips down the shank, then bring the hair out and make five more whips over it.
- Pass the tag through the eye from the front, so the hair sits at the two-turn point.
- Loop to the swivel. No kicker needed.
