A supple braided rig for short to medium range and any bait size you want! In this video I show you how to tie a long forgotten rig called the bait loop rig, also known as a swimmer rig. The rig is easy to tie and requires a minimal amount of tackle. In fact all you need is some 25 lbs braid, a size 6 Twister, some dental floss and a size 8 swivel. It works with big baits, little baits, soft baits, hard baits, sweetcorn, tiger nuts and can catch carp of any size from any water at short to medium range. Not only does the video explain exactly how to make the rig but I also explain all the ways in which it can be used and show you exactly how to get the best from it.
