Carp Rigs in Focus – The Blow Back Rig
The Blow-back Rig is a relatively new style derived from several other types of rigs, it’s main benefit is it’s hooking potential. Carp generally suck bait it and blow it back to test it, during this process the bait is blow back along the axis of the hook leaving the hook point showing 100% for the perfect chance of a hookhold.
Being a relatively simple rig to tie it is quite popular and widely used in various connotations, using supple braid simply tie a rig ring onto your hooklength, you want to position this inline with the point of your hook, depending on length of hair, slide the ring over your hook-shank and proceed to tie the knotless knot as normal.

How the Blowback Rig works with Ali Hamidi
This is set-up in a similar manner to the extended line-aligner/shank rig that I covered in my first rig feature a couple of months back. In that instance Korda silicon tubing was used on the shank to keep the hair close to the shank of the hook and also dictate at which point the hair leaves the hook.
Now that particular rig is pretty damn awesome, however when it comes to overall presentation, I believe the blow back rig is hard to equal. When using a buoyant bait, the presentation is very clinical indeed. The small gap between rig ring and bait is enhanced by the position that you place the ring on the hook. In essence you a produce a ‘claw like’ presentation that protrudes from the lake bed. Whilst the free movement means that when the hook does catch hold it is far more likely to stay put even when a carp goes to blow the whole lot out. Like every rig on the face of this planet, when a carp decides to blow it out when it hasn’t touched the flesh in anyway, it stands NO chance of staying in ‘situ’.
However when it does prick a fish, the buoyant bait and rig ring mechanism does to a degree compensate for an aggressive ‘blow-out’ of the rig, which in turn keeps the hook in place until the fish ‘rattles off’! This type of free movement means it can catch out ‘wary’ carp who may have become accustomed to getting ‘rid’ of rigs which have limited free ‘hair’ movement, even when the hook may have pricked them. In these instances the weight of the boilie can often enhance the chance that a carp has of blowing the whole lot out because of the added momentum that a ‘static’ bait tight to the hook can have. This extra bit of movement can put bonus carp on the bank, turning that ‘odd’ single bleep into a ‘positive’ take?
