making my own hook links (hair rigs)

Recommended Posts

I have decided rather than buying pre-made hair rig style hook links from the tackle shop and getting the hooks swivels and hook link material and tying up my own

 

but as the most expensive material is the braid or fluorocarbon, so just wanted to ask some advice on which brands/breaking strains anyone could recommend

 

i usually us pre-bought hooklinks with size 8 or 6 hooks used with a 2 oz weight on safety clip with 8lb main line, targeting carp, tench, bream or anything else that will take a halibut pellet, piece of mear or boilie

 

but want to try experimentation with the lengths and hook sizes as the shop bought ones seem to be a standard length

 

 

cheers,

 

mike

Hi Mike, maybe this will help? I don't know if the link works, but if you look in carp fishing articles on the sidebar, I wrote a piece called 'What do I need to know about hook links'.

No your link doesn't seem to work for me Clint.

What do I need to know about hook links?
