Hi and welcome to Anglers' Net.

 

Do please report on how you did with that rig.

Hi i read a while ago how to do a double hair rig with a pva bag and was wondering if anyone has used this rig succesfully whilst carp fishing, as i have made just the 1 rig to try out, i will let you know how it goes tomorrow if no-one has tried it on here yet.. :P

well i went to earlswood lakes on sunday but as there was a competition on i decided to fish the margins and caught loads of perch around 25 no bigger than 1lb tho on red maggots but the last 2hrs i thought sod it and tried it with a pva bag containing some small 6mm high trout oil pellets some and a few 8mm green stim swim 8mm pellets with a couple tiger nut flavour pellets and red maggots and the hairs i put 2 of the stim swim pellets and 2 tiger nut pellets................... within 20 mins i caught an 18lb mirror , which is my new pb, and another 20mins an 11lb mirror with a really messed up mouth, so it was success and i recommend trying it out on any big lake, ps i only cast out 2 pva bags b4 i left and cought straight away on both. i will try again to make sure it wasn't a fluke happy fishing every1...:P

A really nice result.

 

As to being a rookie - not to worry. One nice thing about this place is the wide range of experience of the folks on here and their willingness to pass along what they know.

Congratulations on the new PB, a great result. Plus welcome to Anglers Net.

 

I tied up a double hair rig earlier this year with the idea of using it for Catfish, but never got around to another cat session. It sounds like it is a good rig for Carp.

I don't get it, is it 2 hairs coming off the shank of the hook with bait attached? Pics would be cool.

 

hey mate, yeah all you do is make yourself a standard hair rig but make the loop on the hair quite large, enough so that when you cut the loop in 2 that you can make 2 normal hair loops from the 2 ends, then tie your hook with a knotless not then attach the hook length to your line, i hope that helps i dont have any pics as of yet but will try and get some soon, hope it works for you also mate.. let me know on this thread how its goes :P happy fishing
