Catch and Release fishing is a lot like golf. You don't have to eat the ball to have a good time.

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.

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.

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.
