Ready-knotted hooks for carp and bottom fishing shorten the preparation, but their choice remains part of the overall rig. The section has barb solutions, variants barbless and ready leaders. They should be matched to the bait, the way of feeding and the requirements of the particular fishing venue, instead of being tied mechanically to each line.

Sharanjiya hooks with leader Owner BASIC RIG - CT-5 is a ready-made leader for a hair rig. The thread used is soft and is coloured so that it blends with the aquatic vegetation. For work, it remains to lay the selected bait and connect the leader to the rest of the tackle, pre-checking the connections and tip.

When such a ready-made rig first consider whether the size of the hook fits the volume and hardness of the bait. The hair must hold it steady without closing the sting or restricting the free turning of the hook. If you change the bait to a noticeably larger or smaller one, make a new sample of the rig, and do not rely on the previous setting.

The barb is also not a formality. Where barbless hooks are required, select the appropriate ready option and keep the line controlled when pulling out. When a hook with a barb is allowed, make sure that it does not interfere with the proper placement of the bait. Local rules take precedence over personal habit, so check them before you go out.

Even on the shore, stretch the finished leader carefully between the fingers to detect twisting, a scratchy spot or a poorly tight knot. Place the bait, check if it stands apart on the hair and leave the tip exposed. Then did a short test of the connection to the main line. This check is more useful than changing several components at once.

For carrying arrange the finished leaders stretched in a box or a grader and mark the size of the hook on the compartment. Don't mix used rig with new ones until you've looked at the thread, knot and sting. When unraveling, do not pull the soft thread sharply. Thus you keep the shape of the leader and can quickly choose the appropriate option when changing the conditions.
