Chod Rig and Hinged Stiff Rig Carp Rigs

Short and Stiff Chod Rig Hooklinks

Chod Rig carp hooklinks are designed for presenting a floating bait above the lakebed. They use a short, stiff section, most often made from mono or fluorocarbon material, with a hook, intended to be mounted on a properly prepared chod or helicopter rig. Ready-made models retain the material curve formed by the manufacturer near the hook.

The range includes various hooklink lengths and hook sizes, in barbed and barbless versions. The section length affects the presentation height above the lakebed, while the buoyancy of the pop-up should match the hook weight and the additional weight used.

Hinged Stiff Rig with a Boom and Hinged Hook Section

The Hinged Stiff Rig combines a stiff hook section with an additional boom section. The hinged connection allows the hook section to move freely, while the boom helps to position it away from the lead. In this category, you will also find rigs available under the name Hinge Rig.

Ready-made hooklinks of this type are designed for pop-ups and allow you to achieve a raised bait presentation. To compare rigs that present a floating boilie lower above the lakebed, see the Ronnie Rig and Spinner Rig carp hooklinks section. Other solutions for floating baits can be found in the carp hooklinks for pop-ups category.
