b175 great hooks, and can be made absolutely nutty sharp with a jag file, will make modern hooks wince they can become that sharp, just wish they did them in black back in the day, or teflon now adays, i now use some ebay lonshanks due to the teflon, but still nothing can match the b175 for a sharpend hook, cheers
funnily enough there is a jag hook sharpening vice and file in my tackle box just for touching them up lazy👍 the Teflon doesn't bother me, i remember turning over capesthorne hall on these hooks, it was gin clear and they were some of the most pressured fish in the region, does it make a difference?, my experience says not?👍🎣
@@MarkCarp i think your right , they dont mind, but my ocd, says everything has to be grey, camo etc
ah the old ocd, I get that myself now and again but i always end up coming back to this rig, i'm still learning to not go in the tackle shop and come out with £50 of bits i didn't need, ocd has a lot to answer for👍😁 lol
Is there a barbless hook pattern I could use that has the same results?
Iv'e watched 100's if not 1000's of these videos, And I have to say this is honestly one of the best, bags of information and clearly given. Good job subscribed!
kind words indeed, thanks mate👍
Same here.
@@wesleywillard thanks wesley, apologies for missing your post, it's much appreciated👍
I’m going to give these hooks a go, the hook test hit home..
Fantastic video..
I've been using this rig for a few years now after watching this video I very seldom miss a fish now and my catch rate is probably about 98 % .Thanks this is the video that changed my Carp life.
nice one hamish, that's around the same catch rate as i've had over the years, it's a cracking rig isn't it. if you're anything like me you'll go off and try something else but you'll always end up back on it because it's so efficient. every time i've tried something else i've ended up wasting my money👍😆lol
Those percentages are awesome, love the finger test.
yeah they are bish, it's been a brilliant rig for me over the last 30 years👍🎣😎
Love the finger test do that with all my rigs now . Off on the bank for a morning session. Tight lines lads
Loads of good tips for the beginner there Mark,like the loop in the hair,to keep the boilie in place and the good ole palomar knot.It also brought back memories of the diaries we all used to keep back in the day lol....
cheers jess, yeah the diaries we used to keep, rig, bait, date, time, swim, weather, you name it, it went in there, i even counted how many freebies i was throwing in, once a tight arse always a tight arse👍🎣😁 lol
Thank you Mark for making such an instructional video. Nobody ever mentions how to tune your rig. I'm in the states and new to carp fishing. Love the videos and how you take so much time to explain everything. Thank you, cheers.
you're welcome Cameron, nobody mentions tuning the rig in the uk either, our carp over here are under a lot of angling pressure and the fish suffer mouth damage if the rig isn't set up properly. hopefully this video will help a lot of people, your comments tell me i'm on the right track and I thank you for that👍🎣
thanks mate this is such a cracking rig, my mate was laughing at the fly fishing hook while he used his korda to then lose his fish and watch me land 4 absolutely a superb rig
great stuff henri👍 to be fair i do have a few korda hooks in my tackle box, mainly for fishing small particles but that's all. the b175 is an awesome hook and your mate has clearly fallen for the advertising hype, if he was laughing at your hooks then it's only right you should turn the tables on him, don't forget to ask him if his hooks are munga next time you're both out😂😂😂
you are the best! i tried your finger test with a vast variety of rigs and the one that you demonstrated works the best.
thanks misa👍 it is a very efficient rig, as long as you take care regarding the tangle points the rig will serve you very well👍
Hi Mark, thank you for this. You explained it very well and the rig is so simple to tie. I am returning to fishing after a long lay off and I am looking forward to using this rig.
nice one mate, welcome back to fishing, it's changed a lot over years, it's all gotten a lot more complicated and there's a lot of people pushing stuff you don't need, this rig will do the job for you and it won't cost you a fortune👍🎣😎
Thanks for the content Mark, and thanks for simplifying an area of carp fishing that is easily confusing.
you're welcome james, keep it simple and if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it, the two very best pieces of advice when it comes to carp rigs👍🎣😎
Mark i used this rig yesterday exactly tyed the way you did it i even had the kamasan B175 hook,i had an awesome day netting 11 carp best was 21LB well pleased absolute awesome rig i also made some out of mono cheers mark,alien
brilliant mate, that's quite a day!, it's an awesome carp rig isn't it👍🎣😎
@@MarkCarp yes it's absolutely fantastic rig mark i love fly-fishing for carp on the surface during the summer months it absolutely fantastic fighting carp on a fly-fishing rod i recommend it thats why I'm familiar with the kamasan B175 a fantastic hook i just crush the barb but your rig is deadly i was surprised by just how many carp took the rig best rig i have ever used,alien
@@delwigzieful yeah it's a fly fishing hook so no carp tax on it😁 a lot of fly hooks can be used for carp fishing👍 i can't fly fish any more mate, damaged tendons in my shoulder, i even struggle with a light lure rod these days, i can sit behind my carp rods ok though, no work to do there😎 the carp scene seems to have disappeared up it's own arse when it comes to carp rigs, simple is always best👍
Fantastic video Mark. Nice easy and simple explanation of how everything works. From a match fishing background myself but I am paying more and more attention to carping videos and the rigs they use. Ordered some of those hooks, foam nuggets etc. and will be tying some of these up. Watched a few of the other videos as well mate. Great presentation on all of them. Well done Mark and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
you'll find the rig works very well grandad and i've had quite a few comments to that effect, just keep it simple, it's always the best way. Thanks for the kind words too, good luck mate👍🎣😎
Just getting into carp fishing here in the usa and just found your channel best video I've seen yet on tying a carp rig.
thanks lance, it's a great rig, good luck mate👍
I love the palmar knot . I has not let me down yet ! Great instruction Bro , thank you !😄👍
the knot is great stuart, it's never let me down either, thanks mate👍🎣
Thankyou mate ive watched loads of these lately and that was by far the most informative 👌
thanks philly, there's a lot of hard won experience in this video👍
Excellent video mark really helpful having just started fishing again after 25years away,can’t wait too try the rig just ordered the hooks and braid on eBay really cheap👍cheers keep up these informative videos thanks
you're welcome gary, it's a great rig, I've used it for a very long time now and it's caught well for me on every water I've ever fished👍🎣
Boss rig mark well documented & put over step,by,step guidance.looking forward to watching more of your sessions
All the best
Dave
cheers dave, it's a very good rig mate👍
Top video, fished for 45 years and just getting into carp fishing. Thanks for the info.
this rig will catch you lots of carp, good luck mate👍🎣
Thanks mate, I’m just a beginner and you’ve helped me a heck of a lot, your videos are excellent, explained very easy to follow, also your polymer knot, thanks again
thanks terence, it's a great rig and a very strong knot, good luck mate👍🎣😎
Thanks so much i use this rig everywhere I go now land every single fish either a pop up rig or a bottom bait rig 🎣👌
nice one oli, you're getting the same kind of results I get with this rig and the best thing is the price of the bits👍 it's tried and trusted and when you land so many of them you know you don't have to think about your rigs, you can just concentrate on finding the carp and getting a bait in front of them👍🎣😎
Beautifully demonstrated and explained Mark, I have to concur on the efficiency of the rig, a quick check of the diaries revealed I 1st started using it in 1985 and in the period from 2007 - present day I have lost a total of 9 carp and during the period of 2007 - 2016 when a gang of 4 of us used to travel the country on days out, if I had 10 runs I hooked and landed 10 fish, compared to the group (that used different rigs) average of 8 out of 10, I still use it today for 99% of my fishing and certainly haven't found any other rig that's as efficient.
excellent andy, your stats are very similar to mine then, I sometimes have a change but I always end up going back to the same rig because its so efficient, the old ways always seem to be the best👍🎣
I’m with you on this one Mark, simple is best. I’ve come back to carp fishing after 25 yrs and was amazed how complicated things had got. However using a simple rig like this, and boom, straight into the fish. No doubt there’s a place for spinners, d’s, kickers and zigs etc but when it comes down to it it’s a hook,rod, line, and a fish. Well put together video cheers.
absolutely agree with you kevin, things have gotten way too complicated, there just seems to be a relentless drive towards ever more complicated rigs and it seems to be much to the tackle companies gain as they just get to flog punters more stuff, but the truth is a simple and efficient rig will catch all day long👍
This brilliant rig changed my Carp Life .
great stuff hamish👍
Thank you. I just learned this by your instructions and caught my first carp here in the US. Thank you.
nice one koda, congratulations on your first carp, the rig is superb, all you have to do is fish where the carp are and you'll catch loads of them👍🎣
Nicely explained mark,I just bought some hooks and bent the eyes forward with pliers,barbless ones,it works a treat mate.
thanks mate, a pair of pliers is a very useful item to have in the tackle box, i've bent the eyes of hooks myself in the past, no doubt it works well👍
Good vid Mark, informative and well explained as always. I fall into the trap of buying the expensive 'carp' hooks so will have to get me some of those Kamasans
thanks ian, i'd recommend a box of 25 to try, I bought a box of 100 about 15 years ago and I still have a few left😁😁lol
Really enthused by this. I am going to try the rig this Friday and have now got all the gear as described, with some tungsten tubing in advance of the 2oz inline. Love the hooks, first time with braid for me. And those 2 bonus tips are appreciated.
yeah you'll need both of those tips mate, they are really important. the rig is superb, all the fish on my community tab have fallen to it this summer, if you put it in the right place it will catch you fish 110%👍 good luck on friday👍🎣
And today.....success! Beyond hooking carp, the beauty of this rig is its reliability; I have lost count of how many times i have reeled in to find a ball of tangled line and weed, with the cold realisation that there was never any prospect of a catch and my assumption of all being well under the surface was completely flawed. Today, every cast counted, each reel in revealed a clean line from reel to bait. The bonus tips are essential. I will never return to mono-flourocarbon line for a ledger rig. Complete game changer. Thank you, Mark
@@flashtheoriginal nice one flash, i'm really pleased it's working for you, the fluoro/mono is ok too, they both work well, just keep with the 2 bonus tips when you use that rig too because they are the tips that stop the tangles, looks like you've got a couple of decent rigs in your armoury now😉👍🎣
Thanks mark, I look forward to trying it out now on my next trip 👍🏻
good luck stuart, it's a great rig, two more on it for me this evening👍🎣
Great tip love the finger test carnt wait to try out on weekend
thanks wayne, i've used that test for years, if you get the hook and bait over your finger the rig isn't so good👍😁
Simplest is always the best... Thank you.
cheers darren, it certainly is👍
Hi Mark! I've ordered Kamasan B175, ESP Sink Link and a size 8 swivel. Put it all together according to your instructions and did the finger test. It works absolutely briljant. I will use this beginner rig during the coming spring and let you know my results. Off topic: ordering stuff in the UK after Brexit has become a pain in the butt. Took a long time to arrive here in the Netherlands.
good luck bas, the rig will work well for you mate👍
cheers bud been years since i made opne but following you then it came back to me
nice one anthony👍
Nice 👍 demostración
thankyou👍
Many thanks Mark, very informative video, and great for you to pass on your knowledge.. I had to tweak some of my existing rigs, after the finger test, but I will definitely look at making and thinking about rigs differently..
Many thanks again😁
thanks colin, the finger test works well for braided carp rigs, i hope your tweaks bring some results mate👍
Top class exposition Mole.
cheers dave👍
Hey mr. Carp, I just started carp fishing, I live in the state of Tennessee oh, nobody hardly fishes form over here in the US, there is a bunch of carp in Tennessee River, I'm going to try to catch some, I believe your videos are very informative , wonderful!!!!

How would you use this rig with a pop up or wafter mark ? Do you keep the hair length tbe same or have it closer to the hook ? Cheers
@@mplfc795 I keep it the same mate👍
Great tips mark I will definitely try this

Thanks for the info , I bought the components that you advised and have made ( and used ) a few Rigs 👍🏻🎣
nice one james, how did you get on?
@@MarkCarp Hi Mark , I blanked last week but this week I bought a new Rod and Reel and caught 1 x Common and 1 x Mirror.
I’m learning more every session - you can’t just Chuck your Rod out and hope for the best , you’ve got to put some effort in - practice makes perfect 👍🏻
@@jamesosborne4132 very true james, make the effort to find them and fish in the area they frequent, that's the bottom line and what i work hardest at, it's not the rig or bait but where you put it that matters most, if you get that right you'll catch more than your fair share👍🎣
Excellent video.
thanks dave👍
Nice . And thanks subscribed
thanks darren, good luck mate👍
Thanks Mark!!!
you're welcome jesse👍
Hi Mark, great video as usual, as regards to the hooks do you keep the barbs on or flatten them?
thanks john, I keep the barbs on mate, I've never been a fan of barbless hooks for carp fishing, unless the fishery rules say so it's a barb every time👍🎣
Hi Mark..great video and well explained. Im new to fishing and would like to give this rig a try. I have ordered whats needed however I have gone for a barbless hook but with same spec eye and long shank. I cant find where to buy those net bags or what they are called same for the foam. Any advice on where I can buy them or what to search for? Also will that stringer device just fly off on the cast with a barbless hook?
Any advice is greatly appreciated 👍
hi john, yes a barbless hook the same spec should be fine, the alternative is to crush the barb with a pair of pliers or forceps. the nets bags are 20mm pva mesh, i like this esp mesh myself - amzn.to/3d0u8Vz
and the foam is dissolving rig foam, the gardner tackle version is good - amzn.to/37FaFc5
neither will fly off on the cast because your hook is barbless👍
Great video Mark.
I'm thinking of giving this a go. How far would you feel comfortable casting this soft braid rig out? Even with the stringer and foam nugget, is there a distance limit where tangles start to happen?
thanks haba, you can get tangles any time but the stringer and foam nugget take care of most of them, up to 60, maybe 70 yards i've found it ok, you just need to be smooth with your casting and watch the rig in the air, trap your line and feel the lead down for the donk and it should be good. for very long range i switch to esp tungsten loaded and a helicopter rig, when you really have to 'hammer it', that's when i've have the most problems with braid and tangles. the rig is great mate, it's well worth using👍
Thanks for the great video. I will try this rig out. 👍🏼
thanks sahidi, it's well worth trying, virtually all my fish are caught on this rig👍
@@MarkCarp I wanted to use your rig on waters that hold carp and cats. Can you please give me a formula to go up a few notches. Thanks a million 😊
@@sahidibahar4196 the secret to catching carp is location sahidi, you can't catch them if they're not in front of you, the best bait and rig in the world is no good to you if the fish are at the other end of the lake, it's by far and away the most important thing in fishing. invest the time in looking and watching to work out where they are. that's all i do, my rig and bait is simple and i just work my arse off looking in every nook and cranny to find them, i never stop looking from the moment i arrive to the moment i leave, that's what brings me my results.
@@MarkCarp thanks for the information. All noted. Can I get a size 4 in this hook? Thanks
@@sahidibahar4196 yes you can👍
Hi Mark - Top vid matey, real quality info. Every day a school day eh. Do you use pop ups or snow man rigs, fancy doing a vid on those? Appreciate ya time and great tips ty
cheers ian, popups and a snowman are in my rig selection, i tend to use more wafters than pop ups these days but i will cover them all at some point and they are already on my list of things to do👍
Thanks mark.
apologies for the late reply, it seems my notifications aren't working too well, just wanted to say thanks for the comment👍
Silly question Mark do they do this hook in Barbless or do you have an alternative?
Thanks
hi slim, i don't think they do, it's a trout/salmon hook so barbless has never been a thought as most fish are taken for the pot, you can however pinch the barb down for barbless only waters, i've done this myself, i use a pair of long nosed pliers or at a push a pair of forceps to crush the barb👍
New to carp fishing or an experienced angler
Excellent tutorial
thanks steve👍
Belter clear advice thanks, just subscribed. Where's your favourite lake for decent carp in our neck of the woods?
thanks mate and welcome👍 i don't actually have a favourite water but i do have a couple of favourite fishing clubs, paas and warrington anglers, there is a lifetime of fishing in those two clubs and i'm fishing their waters every week👍
hi mark .. great vlog buddy..just ordered some kamasans..but until they arrive gonna try the rig with a nash fang twister it has the same inturned eye but isnt as long..just to see if the machanics are the same..thanks for sharing mark...tight lines
hi mate, good hook the twister, the mechanics will be pretty much the same so you should do well on them, if you do find they don't turn and dig down as aggressively you can always add a rig kicker/flipper to do the job👍🎣 it all adds to the expense but does the same job👍
carp fishing big in South Africa. Waiting for summer to start fishing again
no winter carp fishing hadrian?, we fish for carp all year round in the uk👍
Hi thanks for this mate, when fishing on Silt what lead setup would you recommend with this rig please?
hi mate, for most of my fishing i use a 2oz inline lead, some might say that would bury in the silt but it's quite light and i've had very few problems with that lead setup. on the odd occasion i've come across really deep silt i've switched to a helicopter setup and adjusted the top bead but i've only had to do that once or twice in my entire life, most of the time the 2oz inliner is fine👍
Thanks
Hi,mark hope you are doing well mate not seen you for a while,just like to say Thank you for this video once again this rig brought my carp fishing on massively 2 years on I'm still catching with what i call THE MARK RIG simply an amazing rig,,MARK,Thank you
Nice one para, its good to see you're still catching on it, I've been using it for a lot longer and for sure its a carp rig for life 👍 hope you're OK mate👍
@@MarkCarp great to hear from to be honest mark i have used all these complicated rigs that we see but i have always said you can make fishing as complicated as you like KEEP IT SIMPLE is the most effective way of catching any fish,this is why the MARK RIG works It's simple to tye ,but it is massively effective i don't fish anything else pure genius MARK ,keep safe buddy,Alien

thanks graham👍
What size swivels are you using? I’m going to use your video to set up my first hair rig so want to make sure I have the exact equipment beforehand 😊
hi fozzy, it's a standard size 8 swivel, you'll find them in all tackle shops👍
Hi Mark, quick question! What’s the best lb sinklink to use with this rig for a novice like me, I’m new to carp fishing and not expecting to catch the biggest out there. What’s best for different strengths of mainline and I’m only catching carp around the 10lb, but only been at it for a couple of weeks, any recommendations.
hi mate, i use the 20lb sink link for this rig, it works really well. i tend to prefer 15lb main line, you can get away with 12lb or even 10lb for smaller carp in open water but its best have plenty in reserve, if you're going to sit there for ages waiting for a bite the last thing you want is to lose it because your line wasn't up to the job so my advice is 15lb breaking strain👍
Great tips Mark, what do think about shiny hooks like the kamasan b175 compared to a dark painted hook or is it all BS.
I should have mentioned this in the video flip flop, no matter how much you plan and try to remember everything there's always one thing you forget😀 it's bs mate, tackle companies will say anything and do their very best to play on anglers thoughts and doubts to get you to buy their gear instead☹️ I've used these hooks for decades and caught well on them everywhere including some very heavily pressured waters that have the clarity of gin or tap water. having watched fish on my rigs i'd day they don't have a scooby doo when it comes to the hook👍🎣
@@MarkCarp Cheers Mark im going to save some cash not buying all the crap that really is unnecessary, simple and safe is the way forward for me . Del.
definitely del, I've always been like that, I think they just invent rigs to sell extra tackle these days, you end up buying all this stuff but you don't catch any more fish, the crap definitely isn't necessary👍🎣😁
Hi Mark, would you use these hooks for pop ups and if so is there any changes you would make, Thanks John
hi john, i use the hooks and the same rig for popups, just put a popup on instead of a bottom bait and balance it with some rig putty moulded on the hooklength at the height you want the popup, mine are usually 1-3", it's a very flexible rig and it works with popups, wafters and bottom baits👍
Tyed a couple of them up had two double figure carp yesterday ,hook in the middle bottom lip just where it should be
nice one lindaw👍🎣
Great video 👍
thanks connor👍🎣😎
@@MarkCarp two days ago I started fishing, and I caught my first one could you recommend any good rigs for beginners for me
@@connorparsons5232 yes mate, the one in this video is very good, the knots can be a bit tricky if you're a newbie to fishing so i'd pop into a local tackle shop mate, they do ready tied rigs and they are a good place to start👍

Thanks for the great video. How do you attach the lead weight to this?
thanks mate, i attach the lead this way. th-cam.com/video/gjP_CnJ5ThA/w-d-xo.html
Some really good advice. I’ve tried to find those hooks in barbless but they don’t do them. Shame
no i don't think they do them in barbless brian, i use a pair of pliers to crush the barb👍
Best rigg
i rarely use anything else mate👍
Hi Mark, it is becoming more and more common for lake fisheries to ban all braid. Does the easy tie rig lend itself to being used either with mono or flourocarbon. Maybe the use of tungsten fishing tubing? Only just found your site so looking forward to reaping the benefit of your knowledge.
hi terry, yes it works with mono and fluorocarbon, i've used it with drennan double strength and it worked well👍
Fantastic tips there Mark. Looking to start Carp fishing meself, but the cost of all the equipment can run into a fortune. Not that I'm a tight arse, just don't want to spend a fortune when I'm just starting out at it. A quick question though, what mainline do you use for this rig or can you advise on a decent mainline that's value for money?
you might not be a tight arse but i openly admit i am gav😂 for main line i'm using gardner pro light blend in 15lb and gardner hydro tuff, they are in the region of £10-£15 a spool with the pro light blend being the cheaper. I'd also consider berkley big game in 15lb, that's usually around a tenner for a bulk spool, i'm happy with any of those three mate👍
Hi Mark, great vid mate. Do you have to use braid for the rig or can you follow these same instructions using mono line instead of braid like you used? Cheers.
hi nick, braid is better but it does work with mono too👍
Thanks for the reply and advice Mark. 👍
How much braid are u pulling off to start tying the rig? And do u think I should make it this length in a solid pva bag
hi mate, usually about 12-15 inches depending on how long you want the hook length, for a solid pva bag i'd shorten it right down to about 4 inches in length so i'd be pulling a bit less off the spool, no more than 10 inches👍
Caught two on this today! Only
Thing I did different was change the swivel to a anti tangle sleeve and a loop at the end to attach it to mainline that way.. used these hooks and sink link though! Thanks very much
excellent mate, double bubble, i had 2 as well but yesterday👍🎣 whatever way you terminate the rig at the swivel end is personal preference, it won't change how the rig works as you've seen today👍
Mark Carp hook pattern and size sits wonderful with a barrel wafter 👍
@@millwallfan06 indeed it does, both of mine fell to wafters too👍🎣
Mark Carp location and timing is key of corse, but it’s nice to know you can feel
Confident with the setup you provided 👍 thanks
Again and have a good week! I will be tuning in to
Your next video 👉
@@millwallfan06 yeah that's exactly right, once you're confident in your rig and you know it will catch you can forget about it and concentrate on finding them, rigs don't get a second thought for me these days, i just want to work out where the fish are so i can put it in the right area👍 thanks mate, now i'm fishing again i'll have to make another😁
Hi mark at the start of the video was it at cudmore?
hi rich, no it's not Cudmore, it's a club water located very close to chester, that's all I can say mate👍
Great video Mark. Just wondering if the Kamasan B175 hook is considered barbless? Most day ticket venues have banned barbed hooks. Is there a barbless equivalent? Chers
hi sandyman, it's a barbed hook, they don't do this pattern in barbless, if i ever go to a barbless only water i use a small pair of pliers to pinch/crush the barb👍
@@MarkCarp Thanks Mark. Just been out and bought a decent pair of long nosed pliers and ordered the B175 hooks, braid and #8 swivels.
Can’t wait to try my hand at this rig. Top stuff fella!
@@Sandyman406 it's a great rig, have a look through some of the comments from anglers that have tried it, make no mistake it will do the business for you👍
Hi mark
Looks a great rig with that hook, could it be used with pop up baits or just bottom baits, keep up the good work
Hi Neil, I use it with popups, wafters and bottom baits👍
@@MarkCarp hi mark sorry to bother you again but I'm new to carp fishing only been doing it a few months I used to just barbel fish on the rivers around me as I live by barbel valley but carping took my fancy, I've learnt to tie some different rigs like spinner, multi, hair, just struggling with baits as everyone is recommending this and that and saying you must spod but I dont want to spod I would like to use pva bags but what do you put in them as I have never used them before and you seem to know what your doing any advice would be great thanks take care
Neil
@@neilhoughton6056 hi neil, it's a mine field isn't it?, personally i don't spod on most waters, i just use whatever bait i'm on at the time and drop some freebies over the top of the rig as quietly as i can because i don't want to spook the fish. pva bags are good, i put trout pellets in mine, look up a company called aa baits, they are near me in wirral, they have a section on what pellets they have available and i use the mixed pellets they sell, for a hookbait i use fake corn, have a look for the esp double corn hookbaits, they are made to sink really slowly and they are superb as a hookbait in a pva bag of mixed pellets👍
Great post! I am now going to attempt my first rig.. what is that nice little tool you are using to thread the boilie?
hi mark and thanks👍 it's a gardner tackle braided hair needle, you should be able to find them in any decent sized tackle shop👍
@@MarkCarp Many thanks for taking the time to reply, just restarting my journey after many years away and wow! How it has changed! I have some half decent gear now and have had some beginners luck with decent fish so long may it continue.. Ill let you know how i get on with the rig, again great posts
@@markeverest2451 great to hear you've had a decent fish mark, yes times have changed a lot but it pays to keep it simple. good luck mate, i'm sure you'll bag a few more on your new journey👍🎣
Hi Mark. What is your opinion on using shiny hooks for carp? I have lots of normal "silver" Mustad bait hooks with the two barbs on the shank of the hook. Can these hooks be successfully used in carp fishing with a hair rig tied to it? Cheers from South Africa!
hi renier, i personally wouldn't use a hook with 2 barbs for carp fishing, over here in the uk that would be viewed as unacceptable due to the potential damage to the carps mouth. regarding shiny hooks, these kamasans are gold in colour, they don't come any shinier. i've used these hooks to catch very old and wiley carp that have been subject to intense angling pressure for many years and the hooks worked perfectly, i don't believe the colour of the hook makes any difference👍
@@MarkCarp Hi Mark. Thanks for the reply. Maybe I should just crush the barbs flat with some pliers. Anyways, thanks for sharing your knowledge gathered over those many years of carp fishing. Subscribed! Cheers mate!
Hello mark,do you sharpen the B175 hooks???
hi simon, I use them as they are straight out of the packet. I also keep an eye on the hook point and I check it religiously every time I cast out just to make sure it's 'sticky sharp', if it's not then I touch it up using a jag file/vice👍 the hook has a protective coating on it so it won't rust but once you file it, the coating is removed and you'll find the next session out the point has rusted and the rig needs changing. So I sharpen when I think the hook has lost it's 'stickiness' and I bin it at the end of that session. I do this for any/all hooks not just the b175, provided they keep their sharpness i'm happy to carry on using them until they've been touched up👍
I keep watching the vids...old and new.... i am a recent subscriber and building knowledge slowly..i love your stuff cos you realise 90% of us have to work to a budget...i am in need of some new line...i have NEVER used braid (but i have bought a little coated braid for some rigs) and have always used Mono....seeing lots of videos ..many advocating Fluorocarbon main lines...can i ask your advice, thoughts, recommendations?
fluorocarbon for main line franz?, i don't bother myself, i'm happy with plain mono, at the moment i have gardner pro light blend in 15lb and gardner hydrotuff in 12lb on my two sets of reels. fluoro sinks well but the trade off is it's lousy for casting and it costs more, most mono's sink anyway so why bother spending extra on fluoro👍
@@MarkCarp thanks Mark...no need to sell my 86 yr old mother now then. will have a nose around and see what i can find.
@@franzmordhiem670 no franz, no need to sell her off mate😁 the two gardener lines i'm using are good and quite cheap, the other i'd recommend is berkley big game in 15lb, i've used big game for many years and it's very reliable and cheap👍🎣
Hi mark, does Kamasan do a Curve Shank pattern hook also?
yes mate, they do one called a b110, i've no experience of using them though but they should do the same thing, most pattern of carp hook can be bought cheaper in a trout store👍
could I use this same setup for barbel fishing on a river thanks ?
yes david you can...and I have done, I lengthen the braid to around 18-24" because I don't like a barbel bait too close to where my main line comes off the bottom but yeah, it works well mate👍
good vid I had a hook pull today as my bait was wrapped around the front of the hook, thanks for the info
thanks henri👍 yes that sounds like the same problem i talk about in the video, it's infuriating because you don't know there's a problem until you get the hook pull and it's too late by then, that small piece of foam folded over the hook/hair should solve the problem👍
@@MarkCarp can i use this rig for a pop up rig if i add abit of weight near the hook
@@MarkCarp and is size 6 or 8 kamasan B175 good for 15mm boilie
@@henrilowe6321 hi henri, yes you can, i've used it that way myself many times, just put your rig putty as far behind the hook as you need too to get the pop up height you want, i use anything between half and 4 inches👍
@@henrilowe6321 size 6 henri, never use this hook in a size 8, it's not strong enough for a carp, size 6 is good for 15mm, size 4 for anything bigger👍
Just used my last b175s pal just ordered another 100 👍
have you gone through 100 already billy?, or a box of 25?
@@MarkCarp 100 mark had them a long time though so another 100 will last another long time pal
@@billywalker8581 yeah it takes a while to go through 10 packets of hooks billy😁 i bought another box of 100 a couple of months ago, i'm just coming to the end of the last 100 i bought which was back in the noughties😁
@@MarkCarp great hook mark 👍
@@billywalker8581 they are mate...and sooooo cheap👍
Hi Mark. Great video. Is there a barbless equivalent to this hook? Thanks
hi mate, they don't do a barbless version of this particular hook, you can either pinch the barb down with a pair of long nosed pliers or the nash long shank twister is a pretty close equivalent, you'll pay the carp tax for them though🤔👍
Cheers Mark, I'll try the pliers first 👍
@@wayneriches9623 pliers are what i use if i need to be barbless wayne👍
Hi Mark, I followed your Carp Rig with interest, I usually use wide gape carp hooks, but because they are wide gape I only use size 8, so I thought I had better order some Size 8 Kamasan. got the hooks, made the rig went to the lake. Now my lake has Mirror Carp to 15lbs and they fight like hell, they think they are 30 pounders, so a bit apprehensive using a new rig, but no problem, hooked into a Carp, even landed it, but the punch line......the hook was almost straight ! So I have now ordered some size 8's. I seem to recall you did say that the 8's were the ones to get? I will now have enough hooks for years, 49 actually. I follow your live streams with interest mate
I wish you'd asked about the hook sizes before you ordered mr fd, 8's aren't strong enough for a b175, if you continue to use them play your fish very very carefully, personally I don't use smaller than a size 6 in this pattern, they aren't wide gapes and the hook wire is thinner so you can't judge them size for size😉
