Carp Fishing Rigs - The Combi Rig

The Combi Rig is a style of rig that has been around for many years. Originally starting from joining a softer braided material to a much stiffer material, such as Amnesia or monofilament in years past.

Then ever since the release of the first coated braided hook link material all them years back now, this type of set-up/material is now no doubt one of the most used by Carp anglers.

Combi-rigs are an effective way of presenting a hook bait in order to catch wary carp. There are numerous variations of combination fishing rigs that can be made up easily on the bank of a lake. The most common types are made up of a stiff length of fluorocarbon fishing line, with a smaller section made of a type of braid material. The braid end section is attached to the hook.

Combi carp rigs can be used on many different lake beds, from silt to gravel. and can be used for bottom baits as well as poups.  

This rig has many advantages, the first being that it combines both the subtlety and hooking potential of a braid and the invisibility of fluorocarbon. This is a rig which will help you catch many species of fish but carp and tench will fall to this rig the most often.
