My Hinged Stiff Rig...

Shaun McSpadden

Whilst I have never been one to do a lot of writing in the carp magazines I do like to read them from time to time and one rig that I seem to see more and more of is the hinged stiff rig. Popularised by the likes of Terry Hearn, this rig seems to now be the presentation of choice for many anglers not only in the UK but also across Europe as well.
