My first attempt, and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism ?
Hoping to try it out sometime this week.

what size hook is that? my thoughts would be to wrap around the hook further before bringing it back through the eye and shorten the hair. looks a lot like my first hair rigs!

Overall...VERY GOOD JOB!

I'll try what you just told me and post a pic in a minute.. The hook sz4 eagle claw. I trust these eagle claw hooks, never made me regret them.

looks good. I vary the length of my hair based on the bait. that looks like it was tied for a range cube with a maize topper. Good stuff.

Better?

I plan on using maize so what would a good length be? Bigfishseeker had some maize of his own and it seemed to be the bait of choice for the day.. They didn't care for my sweet corn.

Looks good, that one is good for a few kernels of maize. Looks like that will catch to me.

Cool, thanks. Might go out and try tuesday, weather is looking better. I'll post some pics if I get any.

Thats a good start HIF. The first one can take more kernals and still be used.
As you look more into hair rigs and other ways of rigging for carp it can get pretty sophisticated, but a simple rig like yours should work fine.
You might find that you miss some hookups unless your hooks are extremely sharp.

good job on ur first hair rig, ow get that baby in th water and catch some fishies.

I personally like to keep my hook-links about 3" long

New rig I tied last nite with sweet corn/strawberry boilie

Shorten the hair put the boilie to where it's just under the bend of the hook.

yep a little long.or you could snowman it witha smaller boilie or pop up

other than the hair length you have a winner

Hows this?
