The supple hooklink is a great all round hooklink that is perfect for the beginner. It requires no specialist accessories to construct, is almost impossible to tie incorrectly, works very effectively on any water and is cheap and simple to make requiring only a length of braid, a swivel and a hook.
When used at close to medium range this hooklink is almost 100% tangle free so you can fish confidently knowing your hook bait is being presented correctly. When using supple hooklinks at long range you will need to add a length or rig tubing to your fishing line to avoid the hooklink tangling when you cast out.
Supple hooklinks can be constructed from supple material like braided fishing line. Braids come in many styles and colours but they all work in the same way.
Braided lines are low diameter and very strong. Some carp specialists believe that braids offer superior presentation due to the way they allow hook baits to move naturally in the water when disturbed by a feeding carp. This natural movement avoids the detection of the rig and makes your hook bait move freely among the free offerings in your baited area.
Braids are very resistant to abrasion which is an advantage when fishing very gravely waters. Good strong knots can be tied easily with braid.
Choosing a braid for your hooklink allows you to vary your bait presentation and you can also use super glue to stiffen sections of the braid to make combination rigs avoiding the use of expensive manufactured combi rig materials.
