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.
As the name suggests this lead is designed purely for casting long distances, the nose heavy design makes it very stable indeed and also keeps the lead condensed giving good hooking efficiency.
On days when bites are hard to come by or when you are getting takes but losing fish, subtle changes such as making the hair longer or changing the bait size can make a huge difference to your results. By using the different length Extenda Stops, it is easy to lengthen the hair or alternatively change the size of the hook bait from anywhere between 16mm and 24mm, without having to tie a new rig. The shape of the Extenda Stop also makes it very difficult for crayfish to pull them off, making them a must when fishing on waters that suffer from crayfish problems.
COG stands for Centre Of Gravity; this revolutionary new lead system enhances the hooking potential of any rig as when a fish picks up the hookbait, it is INSTANTLY hitting the DIRECT force/weight of the lead. Due to how the weight of the lead is distributed throughout the rig, the COG lead system can achieve some incredible "hook-holds". Please note that for sale here is the Flat Distance Swivel Lead only and not the complete system.
There are two COG lead patterns currently available, the Flat Distance and Flat Pear. The Flat Pear is more conventional and its condensed shape makes for the best hooking potential it's unsurpassed for margin or boat work. The Flat Distance lead was designed by Danny Fairbrass for the COG system. It takes its shape from the popular Distance Casting lead, but has a slightly flattened profile, giving better hooking capabilities and ensuring that the COG system is properly presented.
There's a popular misconception that flat leads sit on silt. This does not happen, any lead finds the easiest path through the water so instead of fluttering down to the lake bed, a nose-heavy flat lead like this will plummet down side on and nose first, making it less effective in the silt than say a Swivel Pear lead.
Good on hard bottoms, the short condensed shape of this lead coupled with the two flat sides makes it the perfect lead for bolt rigs at short to medium range.
Many of today’s most popular rigs involve tying baits on to rings or micro swivels with floss, and this can be far more fiddly than it needs to be. The Floss Cap takes all the hassle out of it, replacing your usual boilie stop – with available colours including clear, yellow and pink, so it can be matched to your bait – and once your hookbait is positioned just how you want it on the rig, you simply slide on a Floss Cap so that it sits flush, and then blob the ends of the floss with a lighter to hold everything in place. Tying baits on has never been so neat and hassle-free!
Baiting tools are an important part of any carp angler's kit, some people are happy to use one needle for everything. However, seeing as we are self-confessed perfectionists, we like to use exactly the right tools for the job. For that reason we have designed these little babies. HEAVY LATCH STIK NEEDLE - RED HANDLE Ideal for pulling hook links through sticks or making stringers.
These beautiful leads have been designed to work in conjunction with the Heli-Safe bead. Instead of a swivel, they have a ring, which makes for a much neater connection to the Heli-Safe. Once attached, the Heli-Leads stay on until a fish ejects them, perfect.Their shape makes them stable in flight and god casters!
