You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Hair-rig.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Hair rig]]
The '''Hair rig''' is a fishing method which allows a [[Fishing bait|bait]] to be presented without sitting directly on the [[Fishing hook|hook]]. It is mainly associated with [[boilies]], but also works effectively with many other baits. The Hair-Rig became popular in the 1980s and was the joint invention of Len Middleton and Kevin Maddocks. 

It has been experimented with by many anglers, and has revolutionised [[carp]] fishing.<ref>((cite book|title=Fishing Tips for Freshwater: Over 500 Ways to Improve Your Fishing Skills|author=Stackpole Books|year=2003|publisher=Stackpole Books |isbn=0-8117-2654-1|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/fishingtipsforfr00gene))</ref>

At the beginning, natural hair from Len's wife's head was used because Len's own hair was far too curly. Hence the name, "hair-rig", to attach the bait to the hook after many 'tank test' experiments with captive carp carried out in Len's home. Before that all sorts of other materials were tried but human hair worked from the start. Human hair was very discreet and the carp seemed unaware of it when picking up bait attached to it, and also taking in the hook, but it was a little fragile. In tests, the [[carp]] only took the free offerings and left the hook bait if the bait was not attached to a 'hair'. Human hair was also a problem because anglers sometimes lost their baits when casting.  These problems have been solved with the appearance of [[Braided fishing line|braided thread]], a new material that allows threads to be as discreet as natural ones but more resistant to breaking.
However, many believe, that the whole concept works because the hook is not buried in the bait, as when fishing for other fish species, and due to the carp`s feeding method of sucking and blowing, the sharp hook point catches in the mouth or lips. A heavy semi-fixed [[Fishing sinker|lead sinker]] (2 ozs upwards) then pulls the hook into the flesh and usually the fish bolts off in alarm, so this is a very effective self-hooking rig, with no need for the angler to 'strike' as in the past. Many variations of the 'Hair-Rig' are now used by carp anglers and most of these are not like original 'hairs' at all, but 'Hook Out' rigs designed to allow the bare hook to catch in the mouth or lips.
