The AS Carp family of pre-tied pole rigs has been expertly designed in conjunction with five-time World Champion Alan Scotthorne to cover every commercial carp fishing situation — from shy-biting F1s in open water to big, margin-feeding carp.

Each rig is precision-tied by hand using high-quality, balanced components to ensure consistency, reliability, and top-class performance straight from the packet.

Featuring interchangeable Hi-Viz float tips, robust mainlines and hooklengths, and barbless wide gape hooks, the AS Carp rigs deliver dependable strength and sensitivity across all venues. Whether you’re a match angler or pleasure angler, these rigs provide professional-level presentation and convenience.
