Withy Pool Rig
The Withy Pool Rig, utilising a free-running rig ring on the hook with hair attached, a float stop to prevent it sliding too far round the hook bend, curved shrink tube and a strategically placed split shot to counterbalance the pop-up bait

The Withy Pool Rig (Invented by Steve Renyard)

In my opinion the Withy Pool Rig is by far the best pop-up rig around for presentation and hooking.

Unlike other rigs this will hook the carp no matter what angle it comes from.

I have used this rig with great success when all other pop-up rigs have failed, it’s great over a bed of baits or as a single casting to a showing fish.

Give it a go and get that extra carp on the bank. Try the Withy Pool Rig next time you go!

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
