The Fox Splicing Needle is designed to neatly splice loops into leadcore or 30lb Submerge leaders. The needle features a micro engineered, hinged gate which closes to capture the fibres and prevents snagging during the splicing process. The needle shaft is constructed from ultra low diameter stainless steel and this makes the needle ideal for hair rigging small, soft baits without splitting or tearing.
The rigs cover every carp angling situation with the range of hook sizes – from day ticket carping for double-figure fish to Euro giants - and they’re perfect for use in conjunction with wafter or balanced hook baits, one of Tom Dove’s favourite presentations.
The Wide Gape hook pattern is incredible in terms of it’s hooking potential anyway, but has been enhanced even more by the addition of a short length of shrink tube that helps to make the hook turn even more aggressively when in a carp’s mouth, and a small piece of silicone tubing on the shank of the hook ensures the hair comes off at the optimum point.
The standard DF rigs are available in barbed and barbless versions, in sizes 10,8 and 6, and come in packaging that keeps them nice and straight and protects those all-important hook points, keeping them needle sharp
