AS4 Carp Pole Rig – Ready-made Rigs

Drennan AS4 Carp Pole Rig

The Drennan AS4 Carp Pole Rig is an extra-strong, ready-made pole rig for intensive carp fishing on commercial fisheries. It is designed for sessions where large numbers of carp or heavier fish are expected. The combination of a robust float, strong line and generously sized hook provides the control and durability needed.

The 3-metre rig is hand-tied on 0.22 mm 8 lb main line and fitted with a 0.18 mm 6 lb hooklength. A size 12 barbless Wide Gape Carp hook makes the rig suitable for substantial carp baits. The titanium float stem and 2 mm interchangeable Hi-Viz antenna withstand intensive use and remain clearly visible during busy fishing sessions.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose the AS4 instead of a finer carp rig?
Choose the AS4 when you expect larger carp, plenty of fish or a hard fight close to obstacles. The heavier line, size 12 hook and strong float are designed for more intensive use.

What is the advantage of a titanium float stem?
Titanium combines resilience with durability. The stem withstands repeated contact with fish, landing nets and bank vegetation better than a very fine, rigid stem.

Is the AS4 only for match anglers?
No. The rig is also suitable for recreational anglers targeting larger carp on commercial fisheries who want a strong, ready-to-use setup.

How do I check the rig after catching a large fish?
Feel the hooklength and main line for rough spots, check the knots and inspect the hook point. Replace damaged components before casting again.
