How To Tie The 'Shot On The Hook' Rig!

The 'Shot On The Hook Rig' has recently become one of the most popular rigs in carp fishing, due to the amazing results seen on Korda Underwater. Primarily a pop-up rig presentation, The 'Shot On The Hook Rig' places the hook in a unique position, close to the lakebed that makes it ideally suited to a multitude of fishing situations. What's more the hook is already set at a good angle and position for gaining a hook hold, meaning it's a very good presentation for wary or pressured carp.

Sound great, right?! Well perhaps the best bit is that in this blog we show you how to tie The 'Shot On The Hook Rig' with an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide, so you can reap the benefits of using this rig in your own carp fishing!
