[black][size 3]I don't know how I missed this thread. I really like Carp fishing ! [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]As far as the hair rig goes, it is one of the more common carp fishing rigs used(albeit in Europe). The hair that is being refered to is actually just a short piece of line that is first snelled on the hook then the tag end is tied into a loop that holds the bait. The bait is not "hooked" to the hook - the hook is basically bare and the boilie dangles from the "hair" as if were not attached. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]When the carp sucks in the bait the hook goes in the carps mouth with it, but the hook is now in the carps mouth in a position where the eye and the shank and the hook point are all pointing outward. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]The clever carp then discovers the peice of metal(hook) in it's mouth and tries to spit out the whole rig. As the carp does this, it uses enough force that it drives the point of the hook right into it's lip. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Here's how you can imagine or visualize the process. Don't really try this example - it's for demonstration purposes only ! [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Ball up a slice of bread and put the whole thing in your mouth at one time. Don't chew it. Move the ball of bread to the back of your mouth but, Don't swallow the bread. Now, while you have your mouth full of bread, put a large bare fish hook in your mouth - hook bend first, far enough that you leave only the eye of the hook sticking out of your mouth. With the hook in your mouth, try to spit out the big wad of bread as hard as you can. What will happen is; as the bread is ejected, it pushes on the hook, which is in front of it. The pressure of the bread against the hook (and the point of the hook which is aiming outwards) will drive the point of the hook into your lip as it's being expelled. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Did that make sense ? [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Again, don't really try this example(unless of course you file down the hook so it is not pointy, sharp or dangerous). [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Anyway, here are a couple of videos of carp feeding and fishing with boilies. There are several short videos of different baits being taken by carp. Enjoy.[/size][/black]
