Carp is a widely targeted species in Europe. Since it’s introduction to North American waters, carp has been targeted by enthusiastic and die-hard anglers with a multitude of presentations and methods. A presentation technique from Europe that has been proven to increase hook ups, is the “hair-rig“.
Threading your bait onto the “hair” requires a carp bait needle. You can make your own baiting needle. But, I would recommend the Wacker Bait and Tacklecarp baiting needle kit (RB3553).
The kit has four baiting needles made from strong steel wire with purpose specific points. The long soft handles provide a nice grip when threading on baits.
I have used the needles for corn baits. They work very well. I am looking forward to using them on the boilies that I am going to pick up from the United Kingdom. Carp beware!
