Standard Pop Up Rig

Description

Handmade Standard Pop-Up Rig – Effective, Versatile, and Custom-Tied

These Standard Pop-Up Rigs are handmade and tied to order, using my favourite high-quality components. Over time, I’ve modified and refined this rig through personal experience to create what I believe is the best standard pop-up rig available.

Furthermore, this rig is perfect for anglers who prefer not to mark a swim before fishing. Whether due to limited time, targeting showing fish, or avoiding disturbance, the raised hookbait of a pop-up rig allows you to fish more effectively ‘blind’. As a result, you can confidently cast into areas without prior knowledge of the lakebed.

In addition, the Standard Pop-Up Rig excels when fished over a spread of bait.  It ensures the hookbait sits above the bait pile, increasing visibility and attraction to wary carp.

Premium Materials and Components

Cally’s Carpy Customs Hooks
To start, these hooks are crafted from high-carbon steel, providing superior strength and reliability compared to many alternatives. Moreover, each hook is double PTFE (Teflon) coated, resulting in a silky-smooth finish that improves hook penetration.
Available sizes include 4, 6, and 8, with options for Barbless or Micro Barbed, ensuring suitability for a variety of fishing situations.

Korda N-Trap Soft (20lb)
Next, the hooklink material is Korda N-Trap Soft 20lb, chosen for its stealth, flexibility, and light-reflective properties. Consequently, it lays naturally along the lakebed, providing a perfect, low-visibility presentation.
It comes in Gravel Brown, Weedy Green, and Silt, allowing you to match your rig to the lakebed and achieve optimal results.

Shrink Tubing
Shrink tubing is used to create a neat, professional presentation while also allowing for aggressive hook angles that can improve hooking potential. Available in brown, green, and black, the tubing can be matched to your chosen rig colour for additional camouflage.

No.4 Shots
Finally, No.4 Shots are used to critically balance the hookbait, ensuring it sits correctly in the water. As a result, the rig maintains an ideal presentation, and you can further fine-tune it with putty if needed for maximum effectiveness.
