God’s Rig!
PHOTOGRAPHY BY LEWIS READ AND JOSEPH BRAZIL
I SOMETIMES PONDER whether any rig since the original Hair Rig, has had a similar impact as the Hinged Stiff Rig. Personally speaking, I very much doubt it…
If the (big) carp in a water eat boilies, then this rig offers a pop-up presentation which is largely unequalled when it comes to presenting hookbaits two- or three-inches off the bottom. Whereas the Ronnie/Spinner, Multi and 360º Rigs are all exceptional low pop-up presentations, the Hinge… well, that is really something very special indeed, with all the key characteristics working truly synergistically, and in a way which exceeds that of any single part of the rig’s design.
