D Rig
The D Rig is a refined carp fishing presentation celebrated for its simplicity, effectiveness, and tactical precision—particularly when fishing with wafters or balanced hookbaits. Its standout feature is the looped “D” shape on the back of the hook shank, which allows the bait to sit away from the hook and move freely. This small structural detail plays a big role in encouraging natural bait behavior and improving hooking mechanics, giving carp less chance to detect the trap and more opportunity to be cleanly hooked.
Tied using stiff hooklink materials such as fluorocarbon or coated braid, the D Rig maintains a low-profile, anti-tangle structure that lies perfectly flat on the lakebed. The hook is typically a curve-shank pattern, angled for rapid rotation upon pickup, while the “D” section adds flexibility to the bait’s movement. This combination results in consistent hookholds, especially in the bottom lip, and minimizes the chance of carp ejecting the rig once they’ve taken the bait.
Whether you’re fishing on firm clay, gravel, or light silt, the D Rig adapts seamlessly to changing conditions. Its clean design is quick to tie and highly effective in pressured venues, making it a firm favorite among carp anglers who value reliability and performance. For those seeking a no-nonsense rig that quietly gets the job done with precision and consistency, the D Rig delivers every time.
Made with a R-Curve, R-Circle, Curve or LongShanker hook and Peel Coated Hooklink or Sinew Supple Briad.
The end of the rig will be left untouched so you can either tie direct to a swivel or tie a loop.
