Knotless Knot - A Classic Rig Used in Carp Fishing
The "Knotless Knot" is a fundamental yet simplest rig in carp fishing. It gained popularity in the early nineties and has forever changed carp fishing around the world.
It could even be said that this rig provided the foundation for one of the most popular methods in fishing today, which is carp angling. Thanks to its simplicity and the complete elimination of the weakest link, the knot, the material upon which it is tied retains practically 100% of its strength.
When is the best time to use this rig?
This type of rig excels especially with sinking baits, starting with boilies, through pellets to all kinds of particles. It is also highly effective when used with balanced baits such as wafters or combinations of sinking and floating baits, known as 'snowman' setups.

- Bait stop for securing the bait on the hair
