INVISIBLE WAFTER RIG! The Combi Rig! Perfect clear water WAFTER RIG for carp fishing! Mainline Baits
Carp Fishing Rigs: The Combi Rig makes the perfect Wafter Rig for clear water conditions! Why?! The biggest reason is the fluorocarbon mono; nigh-on invisible in water and used to form the main length of the hooklink. Couple this with a soft braid section near the hook, and you have freedom of movement for the wafting hookbait - in this case a high attract Pastel Barrel Wafter! Add some putty for counter balance and you have a Wafter Rig that will react quickly and efficiently - turning carp investigation into secure hook holds and in turn, you catch more carp!
From the Albright Knot used to join the hooklink materials together, to the lead systems used to connect the Combi Rig, we show you how to tie this Wafter Rig presentation with an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide!

I've always kept away from this rig as I always struggled to tie an albright knot. After watching this I decided to get my tackle box out and give it try while watching this. managed to tie it on the 2nd attempt! 😁 Another great vid and thanks for tips. Looking forward to getting on the bank and trying it now 👍

[@allenpritchard2715]

Don’t you find that the super natural is too supple and get lots of tangles or wraps around your flurocarbon... I found it to supple and get these problems so I started using the armour cord and found that to be much better and don’t get the hook hooking it’s self on fluro Carbon now 👍

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Can't say I have had that problem, but yes, like you say a less supple braid will help - I do actually like to add a mini PVA mesh bag that adds a little weight and drag in the flight of the cast to stop potential tangles. Good tip though Allen - thanks!

[@julianwilliams4750]

Hi new to rigs and finding these tutorial top draw. Wanted to know if this Combi Rig and me used with a popup slightly higher off the deck. Does it need a tweak to make it work. Thanks

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Hi Julian - yes you could use it with a pop-up. Personally I'd probs then use a wide gape hook, but that is just my preference. Glad you're enjoying the videos fella!

[@peterlacey5299]

John could you show us how to tie up hair rig blow back style but just a loop section so we can attach it to a boom ,using loop to loop please

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Sure we can cover that at some point Peter!

[@raybriggs4529]

A great instructional video. May i suggest for these type of vids using a BLACK BACKGROUND.

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Thanks Ray - point taken! Its tricky to be honest as clear mono would stand out well against black but not the coated braid, but we'll have a look, and glad you still enjoyed the video!

[@TheBeatlesarekings]

My rig of choice is this combi rig combined with the multi rig. Invisible, supple and you can change the hook whenever…what’s not to like 👍

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Its a good one!

[@kezzakian]

great videos, just one question could i use korda boom instead of the iq ? or would it be to thick. i`m new to carp fishing. thanks

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

It would be best to use the IQ - not just for the knot but also to have a some suppleness within the hooklink.

[@flopshotking]

@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV you could use boom and loop to loop it. Fantastic vids 👌

[@michaelradford373]

Hi John, thanks and nice vid! I’m going to a very rig shy carp lake in France this year and looking for something that would work. I like the look of the combi rig but wondering if it would work with some slow sinking maize as the carp tend to mouth the bait and drop if they don’t like it. With the flexibility of the braided part is the putty part heavy enough to flip the hook to self hook? Technically it looks like the sort of thing I’m looking for but wondering if you’d recommend this or something different? Cheers

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Hi Michael - yes this rig would work perfectly! Another rig I'd look at is the Long Shank Snowman Rig with one or two pieces of Maize balanced with a fake piece or a Topper. Here's the link to that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amO2ZGhnoLGXiJo

I use this rig but i switch the soft braid for trigga link from nash but im slowly running low any one know of a diff type or company that makes something similar

[@rickyjoy3660]

Can you use wafter rigs on a inline lead set up or does that change the dynamics

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Hi Ricky - yes you can - it'll be fine.

[@jakeexley1947]

Hi John. I'm fairly new to making my own rigs. I have just tied the rig using the same components, but tried to use a 16mm wafter. The wafter lifted the hook link leaving the putty on the deck, rather than the hook link as shown. Is a 16mm wafter to big to use with a size 6 hook? Or could I trim the wafter down? Any help would be really appreciated 👍

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Hi Jake, firstly squeeze the hookbait as firmly as possible without splitting it - this often expels any air in the hookbait allowing it to balance perfectly. Trimming it a little at a time is also a good method.

[@jakeexley1947]

@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV Brilliant. Thanks for the advice and replying to my question. Really appreciate it 👍

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

[@pcarp6863]

Great rig, some of the waters I fish have a no braid rule. What would you swap the braid with?

[@bradleybrown289]

Hi mate I'm no pro but I've had a lot of success with 15lb iq2 7 inchs tied knottlesss knott the cut the hair off, slide a hook ring swivel onto the hook ( I personally use a kurv 6) Then followed by a hook bead, medium hooklink sinker on in the middle off the hooklink anti tangle sleeve to finish off, great rig hope this helps

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Hi, lots of fisheries don't allow the use of braid but do allow it as a hooklink so maybe double check the rules. If braid is out full stop then Bradley has a great suggestion below, or you could try the Spinner Rig with a wafter as a hookbait.

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

That'd work!

[@pcarp6863]

Great, thanks Bradley and Mainline. It is a complete braid ban. I actually fish two waters with a complete braid ban

[@davidfoster6147]

That works very well I just need you to get rid of the bloody bream.....

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

They can be a nightmare sometimes David - try 20mm size hookbaits and I find a longer Hair sometimes helps.

[@davidfoster6147]

@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV yes I’ll do that I’m just trying to keep it small this time of the year .

[@ashleyray4852]

If I do the rig backwards will that make the stiff hinge rig or do I need

[@ashleyray4852]

Something else thanks

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

@@ashleyray4852 Hi Ashley, you can join a coated braid to a stiff chod link mono to using the albright knot to create a version similar to a Stiff Hinge, but the movement/hinge section isn't quite the same. Theres not quite as much spin in the stiff section.

[@jasonalsop6643]

Currently making this rig now but using stiff link boom floro will this still be ok ?

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

It'll still work Jason but will be a little stiffer and need a clean spot on the lakebed.

[@jasonalsop6643]

Can i send u pic of my rig pal anyway.

[@FixDylann]

Will chod link work for the fluro part of the rig

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Possibly, although for this rig I prefer the fluorocarbon - not just for the invisibility but also as its not so stiff that it couldn't lay over light weed or debris, but still has enough memory to prevent tangles.

[@FixDylann]

@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV I just made my first combi with the chod link I see what you mean it's a little to stiff thanks

[@01plumberman]

Mainline Baits Carp Fishing TV I imagine Korda BOOM would also be too stiff?

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

@@01plumberman Again, if you're fishing a clear area and want the rig to really push out away from the leader, then you could use it, but... it's nice to have some suppleness with the fluorocarbon.

I tried using the cork dust wafters but the hook sits too high off the lake Bed, how can I stop this

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Hi Joshua, squeeze the hookbait a little a test again this often expels a little air. You can also trim the hookbait a little or use larger hook. Glugging the wafters will also lower the buoyancy a little.

[@andymcmillan9260]

Quick question. Can the boom section be replaced with either the boom material or even mouth trap?

[@ashfox2012]

Andy McMillan yes it can

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Hi Andy, one little tip we picked-up from filming with Neil Spooner recently was he would create a crimped boom with a small loop at the hook end of the rig, and then tie a figure-of-eight-loop-knot in his soft bait section. He'd then attach to two materials loop-to-loop and neaten/cover the crimp loop with putty. It means you can then re-tie the braid/hook section and change without having to tie another boom section.

[@andymcmillan9260]

@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV that's actually a clever way of doing it. I was thinking either a grinner or a blood knot but a loop to loop is easier. Thanks again.
