Combi Krimp Rig - Rig for Cautious Carp
The Combi Rig is a legendary leader that has been used by carp anglers around the world for many years to target the most cautious carp.
Its combination usually involves pairing fluorocarbon with a short section of soft braid. The connection of the stiff section with the soft one can be done using various knots, but I especially like to do it using the Krimp Tool crimping tool, which is one of my most frequently used tools. With it, the loops are always perfect, and the connection is super strong. I most often use the Combi Rig when casting because the stiff material prevents it from tangling. I also use it when baiting from a boat, setting up on the slopes near the banks where the water is still quite clear. I am then confident that it is practically invisible on the bottom and that small fish can't tangle it.
Now I'll show you step by step how I create my favorite Combi Rig!
To make the rig, you will need:
- Carp hook, in my opinion, the best model is the Wide Gape type with a wide gape bend
- Coated braid
- Stiff rig material, in my case fluorocarbon
- Metal rig ring sized appropriately to match the hook size
- Hook positioner, such as a Kicker, alternatively, heat shrink tubing can be used
- Braid weighting in the form of ready-made tungsten or lead beads, or alternatively weighting putty
- Stopper to secure the bait on the hair
- Needle for mounting the bait on the hair
- Scissors to cut the braid
- Tool for tightening knots and removing the coating
- Crimping sleeves
- Crimp Tool for securing the crimping sleeves
- Bait, in my case boilies
