Another variation of the Hair rig, This rig has the hair trapped to the shank of the hook so it exits the hook at the curve, this means that when fished with a heavy bait such as a bottom bait, pellets etc the weight of the bait on the hair will make the hook face down and grip the bottom lip, this rig is favoured by anglers such as Terry Hearn when using a bottom bait.. A small kicker over the eye of the hook exaggerates the flipping action of the hook and makes the hook very quick to react.
By adding a bit of rig putty just before the kicker you can enhance the mechanics of this rig.

Tips for using Bottom Baits
Bottom baits are simply baits that are heavy and that sink, like pellets, boilies, meat etc. Because a bottom bait is heavy they can sink in to soft silt or weed, you can combat this by adding a small pva mesh bag which will prevent the bait sinking and provide you with some free offerings around your hook bait.
Because bottom baits are heavy they can sometimes slide down the hair to the hook, adding a float stop or bait bead to the hair means you can slide this up to the bait and lock it in to place. A bait bead can also be used to with a pellet to make the hole smaller and help to prevent water from eroding the middle of the pellet out as quick and prolong the life of your bait in the water. Bottom baits generally dont need any balancing or checks of your presentation. If you add a bit of buoyant sweet corn for example you alter the behaviour of the bait in the water this can often bring you a quick bite (particularly when you are fishing over corn or particles.
Some rigs are designed to only be used with a bottom bait like the claw rig, this is because the mechanics of the rig require a heavy bait to make the hook fall in the right position.
