IQ2 German Rig – Handmade Carp Fishing Rigs for Reliable Hook Holds
Our IQ2 German Rigs are handmade to order using only the best rig components, chosen for their strength, reliability, and presentation quality. This versatile carp fishing rig delivers exceptional hooking efficiency and can be used effectively with bottom baits, wafters, or even pop-ups when weighted correctly.
The IQ2 German Rig stands out for its simplicity, mechanical efficiency, and strong hook holds. When a small split shot is added just below the hook, this setup transforms into a highly effective pop-up rig, giving you multiple rig options in one easy-to-use design.
