MCM-B Banded Hair Rig Barbless 4"

Preston MCM-B Banded Hair Rig Barbless 10cm – ready-made hooklengths with bait band

The Preston MCM-B Banded Hair Rigs are ready-made, barbless 10 cm hooklengths for fishing with pellets and Band’Ums. The short hooklength is particularly suitable for method and hybrid feeders, where the hook bait needs to be presented close to the groundbait. This allows you to fish quickly and consistently without having to tie every hooklength yourself.

Each hooklength is hand-tied with strong Preston Reflo Power line and finished with an eyed MCM-B hook. The pre-mounted bait band holds the hook bait securely on the hair and makes changing bait easy. The barbless hook pattern is suitable for commercial fisheries and other waters where barbless fishing is required or preferred.

The pack contains eight hooklengths on a Mag Store Rig Stick. This stick can be placed directly into a suitable Preston Mag Store System Box. The label on the stick shows the hook size, line diameter and breaking strain, so you can quickly find the right hooklength at the waterside.

How do you attach the hook bait?

Carefully stretch the bait band around a pellet or Band’Um. This keeps the bait outside the hook bend, leaving the hook completely free for a quick hook-up. Match the bait size to the chosen hook and the fish species you expect.

Why use a 10 cm hooklength?

A short hooklength keeps the hook bait close to the groundbait area around a method or hybrid feeder. This ensures direct bait presentation and quick bite detection when carp or F1 pick up the groundbait.
