Snipers’ D-rig I would like to introduce you, how to tie a D-rig easily with Sniper Soft and Sniper Stiff. The Sniper braids uniqueness is that – depending on the Soft or Stiff version – we can find a thinner or thicker fluorocarbon line inside the braid. That’s what really make it easy to create a D-rig.
We will need these gadgets above to be able to make our rig. Specifficaly, a Sniper Soft or Stiff braid and a Dragonfly hook, which straight point and wide gap makes it a perfect choices for a pop-up presentation. To put on the bait, we will need an oval or round ring and one bait band or braid.
First we have to pull out some fluorocarbon from the inside of the braid. Then we make a not-a-knot. Pay attention that you should left braided
line under the knot, the fluorocarbon should peep out just from the bottom of it. I think this allows the line to have a higher breaking point. After that we have to put an Oval ring on the line, of course it can be a Round ring too, it doesn’t make a big difference.
Next step is to burn the end of the fluorocarbon line with a lighter. What it does is to create a little bulb that doesn’t let our D form to be pulled out from the eye of the hook.
You can put up your bait with a bait band or even with some braid as you can see the picture below.
With a good hookbait, they can form a really succesfull combination.
