Korda N Trap German Rigs

Product details of

- N Trap German Rig

Recommended for best performance - Wafter, Balanced Bottom bait

The German Rig is a deadly rig in the coated braid range and perfect for all waters and especially where the rig colour can blend right in.

The hookbait is attached to a bait attachment that will run on the hook shank.  The hook will ideally be flat to the lakebed with the bait wafting above which both masks the hook from any cruising carp and the most important factor is to aid the rig mechanics.  When the bait is sucked in the heavy hookpoint will  face downwards and primed to pierce the bottom lip or scissor.  When the carp panics and tightens the rig to the lead it will drive the hook home and you will be in.  This is all aided by the stiffness of the hooklink and in-turned eye of the hook.

The coated hooklink has properties that will blend into most lakebeds but especially choddy, weedy, silty lakes which will make it extremely difficult for any carp to detect.

Add your chosen hookbait and have total confidence that the rig will do the rest when you get a bite.

Key Rig Features & Benefits

Our Coated braid hooklinks are made with 15lb - 25lb breaking strain, depending on the selection made.

All of the hooklinks can be straightened without the need of a kettle if the hooklink happens to get kinked after fighting a fish.  Two knot pullers are ideal for this.

Lead Setup - Ideally used with a lead clip setup.
Knotted - Figure of eight knots are used which are ideal and extremely strong.
Anti-Tangle - The hooklink will always kick the hook away from the lead whether cast or dropped from a boat.
Reset properties - In the event of an aborted take, the rig will reset itself, ready for the next bite.
Hooking potential - The rig mechanics allow the hook to flip extremely quick and take hold.  High capture rates are normal.

Tips

When using a wafter you may need to trim some of it with scissors or balance with some putty or lead shot.  Ideally you will want the hook to be laying flat on the lakebed with the hookbait hovering just above it.  The buoyancy of a wafter will vary depending on brand and size so it's always worth testing your rig in the margin or a tub before casting out.  Ideally you will want the rig to slowly fall through the water so it will sit on top of any detritus.
