'Go to' Carp Rig | Mike Holly | Carp Fishing

Absolutely smashed this spring with this rig

Mr holly , never far away from a carp. Quality angler. Top bloke . 🐟🎣💪

Great video i caught my first Carp today using this rig my friend set it up for me and sent me this video! <3

Been using this rig as a pop up rig had 4 30s on it my go to rig now thanks Mike 👍👌changed my season 😃

I've used a rig very similar to this about 2 years. I love the quick change option it gives (like with a multi rig). In my case I've used a kicker in order to lock the D instead of Silicone tubing but the tubing might very well be better to be honest cause I'm guessing that will grip the D a bit tighter and therefore maybe prick the fishes mouth a little bit harder. Kicker works though. I've mostly used it with small baits such as tigernuts and dumbell wafters.

Just wanted to say how impressed I am with your hooks, started to use the grippers and the chod hammers this season. The hook points are mega sharp out of the packed no need to sharpen. On to the rig just tied one with the gripper and shrink tube and again mega impressed can't wait to get out Friday to try it out

This has been my go to rig for years, tied exactly the same, but personally I prefer a size 4 longshank hook

Tied up one of these to try out,caught on it Saturday night and it was never falling off.Will definitely be using it more as love how easy to tie and change the hook is

I find it interesting that some rig philosophies completely contradict each other yet both work. Take, for example, the difference between this rig, and a standard bottom bait wafter rig. The idea of using a critically balanced wafter rig is for the hook to be super light and go farther back into the fishes mouth. In contrast, this rig adopts the idea of using added weight (putty) and a heavy hookbait to pull into the fishes lower lip. Both kinds of rigs would be fished in the same scenarios, both kinds of rigs do really well, but they have completely different approaches. This makes me want to see more high quality underwater footage testing different rigs like this.

Moc úžasné video, dopomohlo mi ke kaprům nad 20 kg,super a děkuji

Top rig Mikey! Just got back from France after putting all 3 rods on this rig trying different presentations. My 55lb mirror fell to a pineapHell pop up with monster red and particle. Doing it for the SW. cheers mucker

Best rig ever 👊 especially combined with a trig-hammer

Thank you for sharing. Very well explained. Will defenitly try this rig out.

Good video. Been carp fishing for just over a year now and been tying my own rigs for a while now just start doing pva solid bags and might give this one a try👍

Bin using this rig a while now and it nails the fish every time. Popped up or wafting

Thanks for sharing this mike luv ya vids I've been on the banks for a fair while but have deffo picked up some great tips from you 🙂 tightlines

I never fish for carp but I'm going to try this rig 👌🏻💪🏻🔥

I use slip d in my solid bag fishing and on my wafters like the idea of the tubing good little edge as you say we can clearly see looks deadly with a snowman 🎣🎣

Sometimes I can use the hook after catching a fish but when in doubt it comes off, really quick change, I also pre make the baits on a ring with floss, I like to do as much prep at home as I can so less faff on the bank. New hooks and bait goes on night before for next day session. Arrive, and rods are in within 10 minutes. Nice little rig setup this.

This rig reminds me of another good rig that i use you can use all baits change hook and use for donkey years Kevin from bait works he uses a combi and Albright but yours is much easier and awesome mechanics I also use that blob of putty near the hook so thumbs up from me . Thankyou
