Carp Rig KD Rig Demystified
The KD Rig, a carp rig invented by Kenny Dorsett, is one of the simplest carp rigs to assemble.
The high effectiveness of the KD Rig comes from its simple construction and the unique mechanics of its action, which have outsmarted thousands of carps around the world. It can be confidently stated that the KD Rig is a universal solution, as it works perfectly with both sinking boilies and pop-ups, and many carp anglers can hardly imagine fishing with wafters without using this rig.

Creating a KD Rig is very simple and quick, as it doesn't require the use of any shrink tubing, rings, or positioners. All you need is a leader braid and a carp hook.
The best hooks for this rig are models with a slightly curved shank or hooks with a wide gape and short shank. Personally, I find that hooks with a straight gape, like the Nash Twister, are also excellent for the KD Rig.
How to tie the KD Rig? It's child's play! I'll show you in a few steps how I do it.
To make this rig you will need:
- Carp hooks, for this instance I used a model with a wide gape.
- Soft leader braid.
- Additional accessories such as scissors, puller tool and a baiting needle. The needle is also handy when tying loops.
- Bait stops.
