Concentrate on it's previous captures.
Not so sure it'll be a rig issue.

Hi Barry,
If you know where it hangs out maybe try float fishing for it?

Might not be rig related, but It could be something as simple as that particular carp is not much of a boilie eater. Could spend a lot of it’s time eating naturals or particles and pellets.
🤔 remember the more they want to eat your bait, the less important rigs become

Something with a chod section or a curved section. Withy Pool, hinged stiff rig, chod, when that mouth closes, there’s only one place for the hook to end up, in the bottom lip.

Depends where it normally feeds / gets caught the rig needs to accommodate the nature of the bottom as well as the way the fish feeds. I used a muzza rig with a braid hooklength to fish on the side of a gravel plateau and most of the fish were hooked in the scissors. May be worth a try. However I think it was due to the location. Not the shape of the fishes mouths.

There is an old fish I'd dearly like to catch in our syndicate which normally doesn't come many times a year if at all ( it did go 2 years uncaught recently).
It has a very overhung top lip and the bottom lip is tiny which is why I think it manages to get away with rigs a lot.
I was wondering if I could try using a rig which hooks in the top lip rather than the bottom and if so which one?
When I fish used a ronnie / spinner rig I remember people saying not to use a small hook as you could get random hook holds... obviously I want safety to come first though.
