Turbo German Rig
The Turbo German Rig is a refined evolution of the classic German Rig, offering even greater hooking efficiency and bait control for anglers targeting pressured carp, by adding a quick swivel. Built with subtle enhancements, it maintains the clean, minimalist profile of the original while introducing features that ramp up its responsiveness. The term “Turbo” reflects its upgraded mechanics—namely the improved hook rotation and bait stability that make it a standout when fishing wafters or low-lying balanced hookbaits.
At the heart of this rig is a precisely aligned hook ring swivel mounted on the shank, positioned to encourage fast, aggressive hook turns. Paired with a kicker or shrink tube, the Turbo German Rig locks the hook into an ideal angle for penetration, ensuring secure hookholds even during cautious takes. The bait sits tightly yet naturally against the hook, allowing for clean pickups without compromising presentation. It’s a rig that hooks hard and holds firm, engineered for reliability under scrutiny.
The Turbo German excels across a range of substrates, whether you’re laying it over gravel, silt, or low weed. Its slightly stiff hooklink material—usually coated braid or fluorocarbon—adds further anti-tangle properties and helps the rig reset effortlessly after a missed bite. For anglers who want the streamlined confidence of the German Rig with added punch, this turbocharged version delivers exactly that: simple, stealthy, and ruthlessly effective.
Made with a R-Curve, R-Circle or Curve hook, Bait Screw, Hook Beads 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.
