Tel is an absolute legend, and a top bloke with it. The guy deserves a knighthood for sure. People who have achieved and contributed less have had one. Top vid ESP, but no surprise as your content is always outstanding
Great to see such a simple rig working so well. I seem to have fallen into over complicating when in actual fact less is often more. Always a joy listening to terry too. Proper loves his fishing and so helpful with the info.
Just seen this comment, I am guilty of the overcomplication of rigs. I think due to me getting into carp fishing in the era of commercialisation of tackle, it's incredibly easy to get sucked into fancy parts and buying all different swivels and terminal tackle. Simple is the way to go it seems, caught more on this on the bottom than I ever did fishing crazy pop-up rigs.
LEGEND! Terry Hearn a Living Legend, some fantastic advice here! I will be using this rig for all my bottom bait fishing here in Slovakia. But not sure if i could bring myself to chew on Tiger Nuts, thats some real dedication "an edge" right there. I wonder if i can call Terrys Dentist and him him make a mould / set of his teeth to use as a "grinder" for my tiger nuts. :O) Long live Terry Hearn.
DOES NOT WORK! i tried it... ended up falling out of a tree and almost hanged myself with the line spooked the fookin parrot and decided to try the boilie myself ended up with a hook in the top lip.
You can always drop few feet past the spot, feel the lead down as you would normally, and then bring the boat back couple of feet, and empty the other hopper then. Just saying. Great rig and top angler BTW. Using your rods Tel for the last 15 years. Great stuff.
Very interesting to see this and the guy is such a nice person fully deserved that Parrot after the effort put into it, had to go thru so many fish to get to the Parrot
We all have our favourite rigs but I truly Believe that each venue will have a Different rig presentation or the same my go to rig at the moment is the chod however I do like a hair rig simply Because you can be more generous with the Baits.

You showed the completed rig and explained why/how it works, but you didn’t show the most important part - how to create it. Maybe it’s obvious to you, but not everyone is an expert...
I copied this rig and used it this week with a few problems, same style hook, trapped the hair with some tubing and some over the eye of the hook to create the kicker. I used Kryston coated braid for the hooklink. The problem I had was it hooked the fish right at the back of the mouth/throat and caused quite a bit of damage to the inside of the carps mouth/throat as it was played in. I caught two fish on the rig and had the same problem with both fish so I binned it straight away. I was probably using about a 8-10 inch hook-link, I never get this when I don't use shrink tubing and go with just a simple hair from the knot-less knot. Has anyone had this experience before?
