A little more about the Turbo German Rig:
The Turbo German has evolved from the traditional ‘German Rig’, which in its own right, is a simple, yet highly effective, balanced bottom bait rig.
The advancement, or progression if you like, came about through a desire to use a stiff fluorocarbon hook link within the rigs design (traditional German Rig uses a semi-stiff braid).
Using a fluorocarbon hook link would offer all of the advantages commonly associated with the use of this material; invisibility, abrasion resistance and a stiffness that offers anti-tangle benefits as well as exploiting ‘Point X’ (the point of no return; when a stiff material passes a carps bottom lip it is very difficult for the material to pass back the way it came).
The negative of using a Fluorocarbon hook link on a traditional ‘German Rig’ was that the material (stiff by nature) would impede the movement of the hook (semi-stiff braid used on the traditional German Rig would previously allow sufficient movement of the hook). The answer was simple, inspired by the Ronnie Rig to a degree, a small size 11 quick change swivel (or spinner swivel no ring) is deployed at the business end of the rig, this facilitates the use of a Stiff Fluorocarbon whilst providing all the movement the hook requires to take hold.
Ideal for wafters, balanced hook baits and snowman presentations.
