DRENNAN CRYSTAL DIBBER POLE RIGS

As with all Drennan pole rigs, Crystal Dibber Rigs are hand-tied in our own factories to our metic­u­lous stand­ards. Quality com­pon­ents are used throughout with accur­ately shotted floats and well-tied knots. 

Each rig is tied to sens­ible line from 0.18mm (5.8lb) to 0.23mm (8.9lb) depending on rig size. They also fea­ture hook­lengths joined loop-to-loop from 0.16mm (4.9lb) to 0.20mm (6.9lb) and Wide Gape Carp or Power Carp Riggers hooks from 16s to 12s. 

There are three Crystal Dibber Rig options, each offering you a slightly dif­ferent way to hook your bait: 

Hooker Dibber Rigs fea­ture a Wide Gape Carp spade end hook and are ideal for dir­ectly mounting live baits such as mag­gots, casters and worms along with soft pel­lets, meat and sweetcorn. 

Bandit Dibber Rigs fea­ture eyed Wide Gape Power hooks with a hair-rigged Natural Latex Pellet Band. This band can be easily pulled around a hard pellet or dumbell with the help of a Band Stretcher or care­fully pulled inside pel­lets, meat, corn and drilled boilies with a Band Puller tool. 

Pushstop Dibber Rigs fea­ture Wide Gape Power hooks and incor­porate a hair-rigged Drennan Pushstop. Used in con­junc­tion with a Pushstop Pusher tool you can effi­ciently mount baits such as soft pel­lets, meat, sweet­corn and drilled boilies. 

The actual floats used are our award-winning Crystal Dibbers, which are tough, buoyant and pur­pose made for catching carp in shallow water. They are ideal in depths up to around 1.2m deep – whether that’s up in the water, down the mar­gins or tight across to a far-bank island. The trans­parent body is also much harder for a fish to detect. Fluorescent red, orange and yellow tops are avail­able to suit all preferences. 

Each Dibber Rig comes on a super-tough pole winder with clearly printed inform­a­tion, stating the float, line and hook size. 

The rigs are tied to 1.5m of line, which can be trimmed down fur­ther should you wish. In good con­di­tions we recom­mend having any­thing from 30cm to 60cm of line above the float. If it is windy or the fish are par­tic­u­larly wary of swim­ming under your pole tip, then 1m or more of line above the float can be better. 

The floats are accur­ately shotted with a neat bulk of shot. You can alter the shot’s pos­i­tion by moistening the line and care­fully sliding one shot at a time, up or down the line. 

As you can tell, we’ve put a great deal of thought into these Crystal Dibber Rigs! They are well-designed, con­venient to use and per­fect for catching carp and other quality fish using modern fishing baits and techniques.

Top Tip: Try reg­u­larly lifting, drop­ping and slap­ping the pole float onto the water to mimic the sound of bait. The float, bulk of shot and hook bait will make three sep­arate fish-attracting splashes – but the only thing the fish will find to eat is your hook bait!
