Sleeves & Tubing
ESP - Helicopter Chod Rig Sleeves
The flexible silicone tube is mounted onto a soft sleeve which houses the lead retaining clip and provides a neat, streamlined system. You might wonder why this component is comprised of two parts, rather than being moulded as one piece. Well, the thermoplastic rubber used to mould the clip link retaining sleeve is malleable yet tough and is perfect for sleeving the clip link yet does not have the soft flexibility and inherent ‘spring’ of good old silicone tube so ESP have combined the two materials to create the perfect shock absorber buffer sleeve for chod rig work. The silicone tube can be shortened if required, as can the clip retaining sleeve if the leader is tied directly to the lead loop.
ESP - Helicopter Rig Sleeves
These Helicopter Rig Sleeves are produced in an extra tough, flexible polymer in weedy green, camo brown and choddy silt. The semi-translucent effect makes them less obtrusive than solid coloured components. These sleeves are a snug streamlined fit over ESP Clip Links.
ESP - Streamliner Rig Sleeves
Perfect solution to reducing tangles by ensuring hooklinks are kicked away from the lead. Available in two colours, weedy green and camo brown.
ESP - Streamliner Rig Boom
Streamliner Rig Booms have three prime functions. To mask and protect the knot, to act as a stiff boom to prevent tangles and to help lay the hooklink out away from the lead. Unlike other anti-tangle sleeves which tend to float up off the bottom at an angle, these are moulded in a heavy polymer which lays flat, minimumising the need for tungsten putty.
ESP - Tungsten Loaded Tube
Incredibly supple and weighing 8.5g per metre (ESP Leadcore weighs 2.5g per metre), Tungsten Loaded Tubing will follow lake bed contours and keep the last few feet of mainline pinned down, while providing exceptional abrasion resistance. The internal bore diameter of 0.65mm will accommodate tapered and thick mono leaders for distance casting and is easy to thread, even when wet.
ESP - Heat Shrink Tube
When heated will reduce in size to half its original diameter, forming a tough protective sleeve over a range of joints. When heated the Heat Shrink Tube will reduce in size to half its original diameter, forming a tough protective sleeve which can be curved or angled. Available in three diameters with the 1.6mm best for line aligner rigs and the 2.4mm for Ronnie rigs. The 3.2mm can be used for sleeving lead loops and swivels.
ESP - Rig Shrink
Rig Shrink is a low diameter shrink tube, suitable for all the popular carp hook sizes from 2 to 10. Rig Shrink was designed for the production of neat, anti-eject rigs. Specially formulated so that it is just stiff enough to take and retain any angle or bend set in during shrinkage.
ESP - Silicone Tube 2m
Silicone tube has a multitude of uses in carp fishing and with five diamters available the ESP tube covers everything. From trapping the hair against the hook shank and using for the top bead on leadcore with the 0.5mm, to multi rigs with the 0.75mm and 1.0mm, to sleeving lead loops and swivels with the 1.5mm and 2.0mm.
Korda - Leadcore Chod Safety System
The Leadcore Chod Safety System is, without doubt, the biggest advance in rotary-rig safety EVER.
Korda - Dark Matter Tungsten Tubing
This suppleness will help Dark Matter tubing lay over bottom contours in a way that wasn’t previously possible. Dark Matter putty has been designed with one thing in mind, user friendliness. No more holding putty in the flame of a lighter or leaving it on top of a hot kettle to make it workable – Dark Matter putty is supremely malleable straight from the tin, something that we know you’ll appreciate! The whole of the Dark Matter range is available in Weed Green and Gravel Brown versions to allow you to choose the colour that best matches the bottom that you’re fishing over.
Korda - Tapered Silicone Sleeves
These silicone sleeves feature a sharp taper at one end, which helps to smooth the setup and prevent tangles. They are available in muted weedy green and muddy brown colours to help blend with the lake bed seamlessly.
Korda Rig Kickers
Shaped rubber sleeves that mimic shrink-tube kickers Help the hook to flip, turn and catch hold in the carp's mouth effectively Available in bright colours to make the hook bait stand out even more, as well as green and brown Three sizes will fit hooks from size-10 up to size-4
