🎣 Ready-Tied Rigs vs Homemade Rigs – which will put more carp on the bank at Linear Fisheries?
In this video, Adam Johnston and Ben Harris head to Tar Farm at Linear Fisheries to put one of carp angling’s biggest debates to the test. Are shop-bought, ready-tied rigs really as effective as the ones you tie at home, or is DIY still the only way to go?
We’ll cover:
✅ How both rigs perform in real fishing situations
✅ The pros and cons of ready-tied vs homemade rigs
✅ Tips that could help you land more carp on your next session
Whether you’re new to carp fishing and thinking of grabbing a pack of rigs off the shelf, or an experienced angler who swears by hand-tied setups, this video will show you the real differences on the bank.
