How to tie a Pop Up Hook Aligner Rig

1. A skinned hooklink is perfect for this rig; in this case we are using Gardner’s colour sectioned Disruption hooklink.

2. Strip off sufficient skin from the hooklink to tie on the recommended Incizor hook with a Knotless Knot (no Hair required).

3. The distance from the hook to the end of the skinned hooklink sets the height of the pop-up (these can also be used with ‘balanced’ hookbaits).

4. Mount a large Covert Rig Ring onto the preformed ‘D’ and use a Braided Hair Needle and thread onto the hooklink.

5. Carefully push the Pop-up Hook Aligner onto the hook so it looks like this with the ‘D’ sitting square on the back of the shank.

6. Tie on your chosen hookbait. We like to use dental floss to avoid piercing the hookbait.

7. Trim off the excess dental floss and make sure the rig ring is sitting neatly on the knot (a multiple turn Overhand Knot).

8. The finished rig.
