Blow Back Rig – “How-To Tutorial”

In this “How-To Tutorial” I follow on from the basics of the Hair Rig seen in a previous tutorial I have done (that can be seen here) using a few additional components of end tackle from the PB Products range to show you in a step by step guide how I tie the, Blow Back Rig.

It is an Ideal rig for most situations and enables us to fish for carp using a number of different baits on the Hair. It is an especially tricky rig for carp to eject this is due to the way the rig is designed. With the bait/hair mounted onto the rig ring, the bait is ejected from the carps mouth, while the hook is left in-place more often than not resulting in hooking the fish.
