Blow back rig

[1982lyndon]

Was wondering any for you guys have used it? and is it effective? my first impression is theres a few thing can go wrong with it. What are your views.

Used it quite often and still do never had any problems with it depends on which variation your on about but they all seem to work fine for me

[ThunderCat]

are you talking about something like this The Wyre Rig – the Ultimate Carp Rig - FISHINGmagic Carp Rigs
I have used something similar to good effect, it sure does work !

like what for instance.use this rig alot,long shank hooks with a piece of shrink tubing over the eye of the hook steamed to a 45 degree angle.as for the rig that a few of you are calling that originates back to the 80`s maybe earlier.just an updated version of the confidence rig

I prefer to use a blow back element using shrink tube Frank Warwick style.I think Lyndon means the bait may sit wrong with the ring type blow back, but as far as I know really the only way the rig will be rendered useless is if you use too big a ring that will go over the hook eye if tampered with eg a tench or bream playing with the bait.So long as you use the right size ring bobs your uncle....trust incognito...

There's a way around everything ... if you use your loaf

And you don't even need to break the rules ...
