The Daddy Longlegs Rig
I invented this back in the 80s and it has accounted for numerous fish on hard waters.
Try this one the next time the little b******ds are just picking the bait up and ejecting without moving. It's the best anti-eject rig I've ever use on the odd occasions when I have had to use one.
Using 15/20lb mono, whip a loop onto the hook as shown in photo, then cut to length. This depends on size of fish, but the legs should be about 1/2 to 3/4ins. The legs fold flat as the carp sucks the bait in. Then spring out making it almost impossible to eject the bait.
Don't forget, if this rig pops up in one of the carp mags with someone else's name on it, it's not theirs, it's mine, © Dave Drought 1986.

About the Rigs Page
|
The Rigs Page is a library of features to illustrate all those rigs that will be useful to both beginners and experienced anglers.
The rigs can be extremely simple and well known, or very complicated and little known, it doesn't matter providing they make some kind of sense and have a really practical application.
It could be a standard running leger rig that a beginner will appreciate seeing in pictures, or a very complicated anti-eject carp rig that the experienced carp angler would like to see.
If you wish to contribute a rig to this section please remember that the emphasis is on illustration rather than words. Good line drawings are fine in the absence of photographs. Please send to graham@fishingmagic.com
