How To Tie The Chod Rig

Start by stripping off eight inches of 25lb Mouth Trap

Using a set of Scissors, cut the material at an angle

This will help when passing your Mouth Trap through the hook eye

Take your chosen size Choddy Hook

We're using a size 4

Pass your Mouth Trap section through the back of the hook eye

Start to whip down the shank 6 times

Then pass the Mouth Trap through the back of the hook and slowly bed the Knot down

Take yourself a Micro Ring Swivel

Thread your Micro Ring Swivel and thread the tag through the back of the hook

Pass the tag end through the back of the eye to form your 'D'

Then carefully take a lighter and blob the tag end down

Next, take a Size 11 PTFE Ring Swivel

Pass your hook section through the smaller eye and form a fold in the material

This will set the height of your final rig

Tie your hook section off with a 2 Turn Blood Knot

Moisten and tighten down using a pair of Pulla Tools

Trim your tag end

Blob with a lighter for added knot security

Manipulate your Mouth Trap to form your desired curve

The chod section is complete. Now follow the steps to mount your chosen hookbait

Pull off a length of Bait Floss off the spool and cut

Pass your Bait Floss through the small eye of your Micro Ring Swivel

Mount your chosen Pop-Up onto a baiting needle

Pass it down onto your section of Bait Floss

Push your hookbait over the barrel of the swivel to the position shown

Trim any excess floss and carefully blob with a lighter

Flatten off the blob with the side of your lighter to secure your hookbait in place

Next step, take a pot of Dark Matter Tungsten Putty

Pinch a small piece off and start by wrapping around your Blood Knot

Use just enough to ensure your Pop-Up sinks slowly and finish off by moulding neatly

You’ve just tied, the perfect Chod Rig!
