The Hair Rig is piece of fishing tackle allowing you to present baits without them sitting directly on your hook, therefore improving its efficiency. They are mainly associated with boilies but also work effectively with most other baits. The hair rig became popular in the 70's and has revolutionised carp fishing. It has been experimented with by English anglers.
At the beginning, in order to link the bait to the hook they were using some natural wire (from a ponytail). This is why they called it the 'Hair rig'. This material was very discreet but it was a little fragile. The bait also didn't act natural enough. In tests the carp only took the free offerings and left the hook bait. It was a problem because sometimes they lost their baits while they were casting. With the appearance of braided thread, this problem has been solved. Indeed, this new material allows to obtain threads which are as discreet as natural ones but more resistant.
