This is a quote from Paul Garner about using hair rigged biscuits. Can anyone understand what he's on about and if so please explain?
"Finally, one of those little secrets I mentioned earlier. When carp begin to wise up to floaters their first response is to take them in the outer edge of their lips. With standard hair rig and side hooked baits this will mean that the hook is outside of the fish?s mouth. When the fish turns their may well be a tremendous boil as the fish feels realises it has made a mistake, but you will not find yourself connected to the fish. The answer is quite simple. All I do is reverse the direction of the hair, so that it faces up towards the eye of the hook. Now, with the hook sitting below the bait and also with the hook point facing upwards, the chances of hooking these wily fish is greatly enhanced. Give it a try, you might be surprised at the difference it makes"
