Frank Warwick on How The Shot On The Hook Rig was Invented | Carp Fishing

[@SteveMartin1971]

Frank's in his own league for thinking outside of the box and really is not afraid to share his vision and sit behind his ideas . Just pure carp genius . No wonder he has lasted the test of time and is still re inventing rigs and solving problems. Outstanding video Trakker , Thanks. P.s would love to watch a small bait section with Frank as I'm sure over the years his home made recipes / tweaks have been epic . Steve M

[@jonjonescarper]

Totally agree. Having spent many hours with Frank he never stops thinking about developments and improvements. Glad you liked it.

[@ringerheringa3052]

Super interesting video! As a Dutch carp angler I've had the shot on the hook rig in my armoury for many years. First time I see the shot being used sliding! Brilliant. Please keep those videos coming!

[@kimlarsen8367]

Im feeling so privliged beeing able to sit down and talk about things like this over a beer Frank. Absolute legend you are mate!

[@leejaynes5918]

Best ever film,,, You both bounce back and forth great ideas need more of these films from Frank and Jon ❤

[@jonjonescarper]

Glad you liked it. We have more in the pipeline.

[@camokhazi]

I could listen to Frank all day long. Yes please more rig talks with the history. Also, have you tried lead wire wrapped around the bend instead of a shot (the old Nash stuff,or the inside of leadcore]? Also, reverse hair, trapped by the lead wire. Cheers, Scott

[@jakecooke3603]

I tried the leadcore on the hook the other day, didn't catch any carp but seemed todo the same principle

[@geoffreytarrant1525]

There's a great series to be made covering these topics ... can you add what bottom to use certain rigs over and perhaps what baiting strategy to use as well.

[@kelticspartan3068]

Would really like to see this rig made. Be great to see bottom,wafter and pop up rigs. Tank tested, so we get a visual picture of how things sit and should look.

[@ETH85]

I have great respect for Mr Frank Warwick's and historical fishing knowledge but for myself l make my own bait and just use the simple hair rig and have success at every lake l fish good health to you Mr Warwick

We were using the shot rig in the mid 80s caught loads on it.

[@leeevans1874]

Just Commented the same , was using it on hawkstone in 1988 , maybe that's why it resurfaced in the same region .

[@phillipseagrave9258]

Deffo pal my mate used it in the early 2000s when I first started carp fishing

[@FEddieP]

Would love to hear Frank talking about the method feeder rig mentioned in this video. I gather the idea is to have separation between the bait and the feeder to make it look safe? That idea would be fascinating to hear about in a video

[@garethholdcroft4130]

Awesome video. Would love to see more like this.

[@jonjonescarper]

More are coming. Thanks for watching.

[@davidbaker1650]

Yes please More rig talk and ideas most welcome please. Have you had any thoughts on actuality physically making the eye lighter? Started playing about with threadind a small poly ball on line and shrink tubing it at the eye.... almost producing a slow sinking hook...

[@GavinDunmore]

Keep them coming guys you get the rest of us thinking!

[@kennetking1]

Completely over 'thinking' mate. Carp fishing has disappeared up it's own backside.

[@jontron380]

Great subject matter and well presented. I like the messages you put across about how different waters require different rig choices to gain maximum advantage, this is so true. Its much easier now down to experienced help from guys like you that anglers can be successful in their fishing much quicker than we were back in the 80's! I learned a lot from the books by Rob Maylin back when they were first published, so much respect for acknowledging him. Look forward to more chat from you two, keep up the good work 👏

[@waynekeylock]

After watching the Korda underwater i was blown away by the results and it was great to see Jon and Frank explain this rig that has been in there armoury from years gone by and how they fish it, great videos guys and will be trying this on my next trip.👍👍

Yer yer would love to see all about the different rigs for bottom baits pop ups, presentations and your rig evolution, how and if they have evolved and changed over the years. Different baiting strategies you would apply in certain places or situations.. i fish predominantly with boilies, so listening to your ways of bait application over the years would be grate👌

Great video 👍. Future rig question. Chod rig is something I tend to avoid however I hear its good for long range given its simple make up however with fishing at range tend to use tight lines but will this suit a chod rig given alot of people seem to fish it slack? Also os there a way of setting it up safely when using a shock leader? Keep the videos coming 👍👍

I have in the past wound lead wire around the bend of the hook .im sure many others did it too , All interesting stuff from frank

[@streetcat1510]

Thanks 👏🏻

[@gingfpv]

Tungsten putty is the way forward i think for molding on bend of hook, dosnt move till it needs to, when hooking a fish and shot on braid looks clumsy like it could tangle around leader on cast or after a pick up or catch on lake debris on bottom but i dont think it be long before theres a hook on market with a weight molded to bend below point. Like the barble hooks used for rolling meat on rivers, and frank is a true legend in the game and not all about selling u the latest tackle tart shit when he speaks i listen ❤

[@sgtg4600]

Do it lads 👍

[@jonjonescarper]

On it.

[@knothead5]

Very interesting rig. My observation: we have lots of snags, sunken tree limbs, rocks,etc. in our local venue. Seems the hook with the point down would tend to hang up more frequently than a regular rig. I do wish people who do closed captions would be aware of the terms and spelling on videos. Not only this one but any YT video.

[@robertcushney3174]

you must sit there and have a little chuckle to yourself lol , i remember your writings on that rig years ago , what goes around comes around , still a legend mate

Great respect for Frank Warwick however a friend of mine used this years ago with a small shot and tiny bit of braid old school method made easier

[@Sniffer1111]

Love it that when the next trendy rig comes to the front, Anglers feel the need to come out and say "i was using this rig 50 years ago". We all know there is no wonder rig and the angling media go round in circles with these rigs, trends etc. Usually pushed by tackle conpanies to make you have rig boxes full of every component out there. We all know a knottless knotted boilie will catch a carp effectively..... but that doesnt sell countless products does it. Mugs game this angling lark. ..... well. .... for those who cant see it for what it is, that is.

[@kimwyatt6838]

Frank once have your book and your thoughts on rigs and tim paisley's on bait stand up to closest scrutiny but I have a question that I cannot get my head around ...because I believe 100% that every hair rig has the same problem that of the fact the bait is attached to the hook is also its weakness to hooking efficency the ejection force on the bait causes that thereby inhibiting the efficency of the hook . So the simple process of taking the bait off the hook makes my hammerpoint rig more efficient than any hair rig ....what compounds the issues is people think that I'm referring also to rigs like the chod which is not trying to catch on a sucking and blowing carp ..like a ronnie which also requires the carp to tilt . My rig is a detached bait rig .and it is more efficient on the basis if the hook goes in it doesn't come out .All of that is irrelevant if you don't concede that the fatal flaw of a hair rig is the hair . I would love somebody of my era of your status share his views on that thought 😊

[@tariqaslam1853]

Sick video, just sussed out the whole problem in one vid

[@alantyler5079]

One thing that’s puzzling to me is why I have no problem in hooking a carp on long curved shank wide gape or short curved wide gape hook But 9 out of 10 carp shed the hook in the landing net as they rest? Why is this happening.? I’m fishing with micro barbed hooks. I’ve tried straight and curved points but still the same. I suppose it’s a good thing that the carp can get rid of the hook I use mostly size 4 hooks.

[@ROBERTSMITH-io7tb]

It's all a load of bollox standard knotless hair rigs hook just as many fish, the most important part of any rig is the hook itself, everybody these day's are so drawn in by all the bollox of rig mechanics. "It's got to do this here and turn there" a good hook pattern with a sharp point is all you need, don't get me wrong I've got a ton of respect for Frank Warwick, Terry hearn, Nigel Sharp and many more they all fiddled about with rigs and if one or the other felt it gave them an edge that's great but dosent necessary make it so, now with the massive annual turnover the fishing industry has we are all quick to buy this that and the other based on what these guy's believe, the best quote we've all heard it " you've caught a tench" tench are notoriously difficult to hook so your rigs must be be spot on 😂😂😂 Tench are notoriously difficult to hook when float fishing on the bottom because you've got to be quick to strike the second your float up end's it's got sweet FA to do with ledgering bottom baits, anyway good luck to all of you with your bit's and Bob's I'm sure you'll all be catching it's just ironic that if every angler on the lake is using a popup on a ronnie rig all the fish get caught on a popup on a ronnie rig no shit sherlock, I wonder if korda will release an episode of underwater carp fishing the knotless knot, split cane and centre pin edition how to catch the bishop 101 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Love the rig, loads of respect for Frank but please barbless hooks, they don't slide, they don't make big holes, it's all bollox, used barbless for 30 years (unless rules state different) it's the angler that causes the problems and being a bailiff for my local club It's frightening watching some people getting barbed hooks out, they definitely cause more damage!

[@garyrodford4899]

Rubbish I've seen myself when using a barbless hook what damage they do to a fish's mouth where it moves & rips the flesh I rather use a microbarb or barbed hook cos it's set & can't move around but I do agreed with you it's down to the angler on getting out of the fish's mouth

Can see why the rig works but any decent rig would work just as well if you have a true back of the mouth hook bait . Don’t even think the rig comes into place then . There eating it end of . Anglers are missing a massive edge by using just an off the shelf tub of wafters let’s say . Nothing stand out about them at all , and I’m not on about colour . if your bait is sat with a load of other free offerings . You could be sat there all week end for 1 fish
