How to make the "D" rig Anti - Eject hook
Equipment needed
1. Fly tying vice
2. Fly tying whipping device
3. Black cotton.
4. 40lbs Black Amnesia.
5. Longshanked Carp Hooks
6. Fly tying head cement/varnish or superglue
7. 3mm Stainless Rig Rings.
8. Scissors & a sharp knife
The idea of this rig, is that when / if the Carp blows the bait out of its
mouth, just the bait comes out and the hook stays in the mouth.
The bait, which is attached to the stainless rig ring, slides down the "D"
leaving the hook inside the mouth increasing the chance of hooking the fish.
Step 1.
Cut a short length of Amnesia about 6cm - 8cm and whip it to the back of the
shank of the hook (see fig 1.) making sure it sits just where the bend in
the hook starts.
Fig. 1.
Step 2.
Then place the stainless rig ring onto the Amnesia and whip the loose end of
the Amnesia to the shank of the hook forming the "D". (See Fig 2.) Place the
loose end through the eye of the hook as this keeps it in place whilst you
are whipping it on. When it is secure, trim the loose end of Amnesia off
leaving the eye free.

Step 3.
Continue whipping the Amnesia to the shank of the hook until it has been
completely covered by the cotton thread (see fig 3.). Tie the thread off and
then varnish or glue the whole of the whipping and let it dry.
Fig. 3.
Step 4.
When it is dry, you can then tie of the hook length of your choice.
You can also make these hook rigs with smaller shanked carp hooks as I have
(see fig 4.). They are based on the same principle.
This a very cheap way to make "D" rig hooks without paying lots of money for
them in the shops.
Pictured below are a couple of variations of the rig with different sized
hooks.
Fig 4.
They are great anti-eject rigs and I have never had any "Hook Pulls" using
this style rig. It is my firm favourite and I use it for all my popped up
baits.
They can be used with bottom baits but its my personal preference to use
them with pop ups as I think they function better.
