Rig is tangled on leadclip reducing the length of thr rig. It means the rig is effectively only about 3inch long. This is why you wouldnt use a really short rig
It’s actually better to make it short dose the same thing only difference is when it picks it up it hooks it straight away and less likely to spit it out it didn’t hook the fish because the tangle not cuz the length the hook is facing the opposite way it can’t set itself correctly
the hooklink is wrapped / tangle round the back of the weights swivel, this will affect presentation and also change the way/direction the hook is pulled during a take
The tangle kept the boilies closer to the bottom. When the carp sampled the bait, the hook was turned the wrong way and really didn't get into its mouth very well....
The rig was caught up so the rig was so short before it had time to nick the lip the lead pulled it out of the fishes mouth. Feel for drop use anti tangle sleves to kick rig out. Had it not tangled u would have nailed
Carp are very jumpy fish. Use small hooks and thin line. Braid would be good. Make sure the bait is tied onto the hook instead of put on it otherwise if they feel the hook or any other part of your rig they will spit it out
Thin line is a bad idea. Strong line but camouflaged or not visible from a distance. Hooks of any size are fine as long as the bait is bigger, as sometimes carp spot it.
@@ASimpleCarpAngler thin line is good as long as it is strong, such as braid. 20lb test braid has the diameter of 6lb monofilament. If you get that in a green color, it will look like vegetation or moss on the bottom. Copolymer line is good because it is thin, strong, and almost transparent, like a thinner version of mono. Fluorocarbon is also good because it’s basically invisible
Probably not a sharp enough hook. You can use 15lb mono for most carp fishing situations. No need for braid. At all lol unless you've got a LOT of snags 🎣🤟
@@DannyFR30 braid has also a use if you choose to not use a spinner rig. The braid attached to a stiff fluorocarbon (combi rig) allows for a much more supple end allowing a hair rig on a fluorocarbon rig without bait floss, whilst still allowing swivel capabilities in a carp's mouth.
I don't think it's the length of the hair that is the issue here as a bait screw will catch fish just as good as a bait on a hair. Firstly the hook link is wrapped around the lead clip, trapping it to the bed and reducing the length. Also the way the fish turns as it picks up the bait prevents the hook entering the mouth. Try using a stiff tail rubber on the hooklink to push the rig away from the lead or a stiff coated hooklink with the last 2 inches stripped back. This should keep the rig away from the lead and prevent any future tangles
All fish are clever.make no mistake about that.ive just got home from a 48hour session.20lb carp.and small carp.and a 62lb catfish followed by lots of midz
Your snowman style bait Is to tight to the hook allowing no space for a hook set. Carp fishing is entrapment, I like a bait screw on a swivel. Guaranteed when they spit it you'll get the hook set
The fish felt the tension from the weight. You need a slip sinker weight that releases the tension off the line when the fish picks up the bait. You also need a circle hook so the fish cant break free
The weight is to heavy. The carp feels the tension on the line. Use a lighter weight, so the carp can swim off alittle bit, so it gives you time to strike.
Hook is in a terrible position. The bait went into the mouth hut the hook stayed on the outside the entire time. If you had your hook in a position that made the koi eat it entirely with the bait you would have a way better chance.
The hook didn’t turn downwards on the pick up and slid out of the mouth sideways, so what went wrong was you tied your rig wrong or positioned the hair wrong.
Also ad 10mm to the hair so the boilies are further off the hook allowing more maneuverability. On another day your rig might have worked. That why you tie ups few rigs with different little quirks.
