Tied with N Trap, utilising a stripped section for the hair.
Tied knot-less knot to a size 4 Wide Gape Barbless Hook.

It picked up some of the bigger fish.

Steve's Oreo Rig
Made for fun, not actually cast out.
But never say never, I'd like to see Steve catch on this baby.
It's good to play as it's by playing that we learn.

Go on Steve I dare you!
Rob's Critically Balanced Crank/curved Hook Rig Size 4 0r 6
Using an Essential Cell 18mm Popup Rob pinches a bit out of the side of the boilie to achieve "Critical balance" The hair is stripped back NTrap but he prefers to leave the coating intact coming back through the eye. Rob slides a small PVA Bag down the hook link to cover the hook and protect it as it lands in the light weed. This Rig took 7 fish Sept 2019
A small shot can help critically balance this rig.
Robbie uses large fake Maize which is usually fished over a bed of sweetcorn.
This picture is showing it tied to a size 8 curved hook with a light braid. The shot is close to the eye of the hook so it just sits up above light weed.
Dropped in the margin this rig can be very effective and has produced many a fish over the years.
Simple and effective!
Martin Ties a Ronnie Style Rig so does Rob pictures above for comparison? Will they work? Who Knows, I guess we will find out when they go to France May 2022?
