How To Tie The KD Rig
One of the simplest rigs to tie. The KD rig is constructed with minimal components, yet tied in a way that increased the aggressiveness of the hooks angle. The perfect rig for balance hookbaits!
You will need:
Kurv Shank Hook |
20lb N-Trap Semi Stiff |
Dark Matter Anti-Tangle Sleeve |
Strippa Tool |
Fine Baiting Needle |
Split Shot |
Razorblade Scissors |
Hair Stops |
Remove 10 inches or so of the Supernatural from the spool
When at your desired length, simply cut
Strip back 3-4 inches of coating using your Strippa Tool
Form a small hair loop in your uncoated section, like so
With a fine Baiting Needle, mount your chosen hookbait and pass it down onto the hair
Secure your hookbait in place with a Hair Stop
We recommend using a small Wafter or small Pop-Up (10-12mm)
Measure the length of the hair against the bend of your Kurv hook, like so
Whip over the hair two times going down the hook's shank
Hold the hair out and then whip five turns underneath it
Pass the remaining hook link, through the back of the eye and pull tight.
If using a wafter, add a split shot onto your hooklink
When using a small Pop-Up we recommend adding your split shot beneath your bait, on the hair itself.
At the other end of your hoolink, slide on an Anti-Tangle Sleeve
Then tie a Fig.8 Loop Knot in the end of your hooklink
Push your Anti-Tangle Sleeve over the knot
The KD Rig is now complete, and ready to catch some Carp!
