[@funthingsartillery3563]

The coated braid is a bit stiff and limits the hook movement into the fish mouth, i belive it would be a great ideea to remove the coating to the point that it meets the tungsten sincker so the hook can move more freely. I created this rig today, same 25 lb coated braid and noticed how stiff that was and made me change my mind about keeping that coat next to the hook

Even though I have my personal preferences when it comes to rigs, I find your rig videos very interesting. Keep them coming! PS: One suggestion if I may: there is an easier and much faster way to tie the "figure of 8 knot". Instead of going around with your "end loop", twist the other one 180 degrees.

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Thanks Marcin, yep thats a good way at tying a figure of eight - I've just always done it this way and now thats what comes natural to me. Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@titchworld8082]

Nice video man very simple to follow and that's what I need 😂 just wanted to ask on my local water we can only use size 10 max and wanted to know would this work with that size hook? Thanks 😁

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

You could down scale everything and maybe trim the wafter a little.

[@danny071293]

Do you have any preference on when you should be using a wafter over a pop up? Been using pop ups and not had much success so far

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Hi Daniel, great question! I use both, although my preference or what I find myself fishing most is various types of wafters. Because in most cases I'll be trying to locate clean areas on the lakebed to fish such as gravel, clay or firm silt - in this situation the carp are investigating the hookbait as they would be feeding on the other freebies, so a wafter provides a good match and being a light, balanced hookbait will react really quickly too. Where this is not possible where weed or other lakebed debris is present or I want my hookbait to sit above thick silt that could effect the taste/flavour of the hookbait I'll use a pop-up - to ensure the hookbait is clear of anything that could prohibit the functioning of the rig. I'll also use pop-ups when casting a showing fish or in the spring when the carp are most curious and times when i want the hookbait to grab the attention of the fish.

[@HighTrend19]

Hi does anyone know if it is possible to shrink the kicker mine spins round and pulls up and down?

[@cns180784]

Great video, are these rigs only supposed to be used with wafters and pop ups?

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

You can also use them with bottom baits, but a wafter would be our first choice.

[@larsdewispelaere]

I always strip a bit more coating of so from the sinker to the hook would be uncoated i feel it can turn in much easier that way. Just me or anyone agree?

[@Fishpunch]

Would these still work with other baits? Like corn or dough for example

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

It would be possible if you ensure a secure attachment of the hookbait.

[@Ryzo223]

Oh John you beauty love these vids mate the German thats one of my 3 go to rigs I love the slimpcity of it and you can use wafter or bottom bait 👌

[@nicholasdevoy6869]

Would these be good for pva bag method? If not what is the best rig for pva? Thanks

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

You could use this rig - but a supple braid rig is preferred. Here's a link to a video showing you how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6rcgqisqr55kJo

[@turkyamad]

Which lead arrangement can you use this for? Can you use this on a helicopter lead set up?

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Yes you can or a lead clip system.

[@millwallfan06]

Great vid! What’s the difference between this and a KD rig please?

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Both very similar and very simple to tie, the main difference would be the KD Rig having a Hair so there can be more separation between the hookbait and hook, where as the German Rig gives more of a blowback effect with the bait screw or micro swivel running on the hook.

[@michaeljones302]

@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV Which would be more effective and in what situations? Loving the tutorials as a recently returning angler.

[@raybriggs4529]

Can i use this in a solid PVA bag, if so what would i have to change?

[@peterjordan1854]

Very good rig, only question I have is, how can it be effective if the hook is laying down flat? surely that just allows the carp to play around with the bait without getting hooked. I’ve just starting fishing myself so who knows it could be a ridiculous question 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@DavidThomas-ro7et]

The reason you use that little kicker is so that when a fish picks up your bait it will reset the hook to an aggressive hold, sure it might be laying flat and not hookable on the ground but as soon as that bait is lifted the hook will set nice

[@h_cowey0782]

Would it work with a 14mm balanced wafter
