The re-profiled/honed hook point on each of these Specialist Sharpened Continental Mugga hooks optimises rig and hooking efficiency at several key levels. From pricking and the way the hook takes a secure initial hold, to the critical manner in which the hook penetrates fully, cleanly and quickly, to offer the best possible hook holds without giving the fish opportunity to shake the hook out.
After all, why develop a line that offers exceptional feel if it doesn’t retain the high knot strength, great abrasion resistance, fast sinking and a lovely smooth supple feel that anglers want. By developing a main line that brings together all of these features ‘GT-HD’ sets a new benchmark in performance copolymer main lines. Finally, by manufacturing GT-HD in a awesome low-viz colour we’ve created a line that simply outperforms other low stretch lines in every way.
Fluoro Plus will condition Fluorocarbon lines slightly, so as well as reducing friction it can help you cast smoother and potentially further, with this type of popular specialist line. The liquid silicone formula can potentially benefit the longevity of most lines, as it reduces the wear and tear it suffers by lubricating the line so friction created by passing over the spool of your reel and through the rod rings is minimised.
The dumpy shape slows down as it hits the water, enabling you to control the Feature Finders decent, and the rounded nose enhances the feel as the lead hits the lake/river bed.
The ideal all purpose back leads. These Dumpy Back leads slide freely down the line and are supplied with 2 types of clip, making them suitable for use in all kinds of carp angling situations.
For several years we have been trying to come up with a solution to creating a reliable lead discharge system for helicopter rigs – a system that would be more reliable than simply tying a few overhand knots in a piece of 3lb or 4lb monofilament which we found inconsistent and unreliable.
The Spikey weed rake used to drag up low weeds and debris that could cause snagging.
Pro copolymer blend offers both extremely high abrasion resistance and excellent knot strength. Excellent sinking properties ensure that the line can be fished slack and will settle unobtrusively across the lake bed.
It is ideal for fine tuning and balancing buoyant hookbaits or pinning down hooklinks and main line. Tungsten Putty is also very useful for smearing along braided hooklinks to pin them down tight to the lake bed. This is a successful rig tweak that also adds a small degree of stiffness to the braid which helps to reduce tangles.
The addition of a long kicker radically improves the speed at which a rig reacts and offers a high level of control in the way the hook turns aggressively (forcing the point downwards) to ensure the rock solid hook holds in the bottom lip. Another benefit of this design and length is that it improves hooking potential without closing up the gape of the hook, so you’re getting all the benefits of the combination of an aggressive hooking mechanism and the potential created by using a really super sharp hook.
The Covert Tungsten Link-Sinkers have been sized specifically to offer the optimum balance between size and weight, with focus being making them both large and heavy enough to actually offer the weight needed to effectively settle most hooklinks flush to the lake bed.
These fast sinking Covert Tungsten Chod Beads have been designed for use as a weighted helicopter/chod rig stop bead, setting the movement of the hooklink on the main line or leader. Covert Tungsten Chod Beads are supplied on wire sprigs, for ease of threading them onto your line or leader.
This high quality shrink tube is perfect for a wide range of rig applications such as Line-Aligner rigs and similar arrangements that extend the hook shank and help the hook to turn quicker and maximises the hooking efficiency of many rigs.
Speed Links are perfect for the quick attachment and removal of end tackle components like hooklinks, leads, feeders, marker floats, lures, etc.
Rolling swivels are a crucial rig components for making secure connections between hooklink and main line that also helps to manage line twist when playing fish.
These Rig Rings are integral to a wide range of advanced rig applications and can be used to mount baits on D-Rigs or slid onto the hook shank. They can also be used as a small, strong link between different lines.
Rolling swivels are a crucial rig components for making secure connections between hooklink and main line that also helps to manage line twist when playing fish.
Gardner Covert Hook Swivels are ideal for mounting hookbaits on and work superbly as they offer controlled 360° movement of the hookbait. Hook baits can be mounted sliding along the hook shank, on a ‘D’ rig or on a Covert Pop Up Hook Aligner’s pre-formed D.
These Hook Stops are designed to be positioned on the hook shank to control the movement of hookbaits when that are mounted on a sliding rig ring or swivel. Bell shaped stops with preformed central bore for ease of mounting on your chosen hook. Mount with tapered end nearest the hook point. They are made from a tough, flexible compound enabling them to be fitted securely on barbed or barbless hooks. Anti-tear, rubberised material will not rip when pushed carefully over barbs. These Hook Stops grip the hook shank without need for glued to maintain their position. Works perfectly with most sizes of Rig Rings, Hook Swivels (size 20 or equivalent) and Flexi Bait Screws. Suitable for incorporating in all sliding hookbait anti eject rigs. Mount with tapered end nearest the hook point.
Hook Aligners are made with a flexible rubber compound that stretches over eye of the hook and fits securely when positioned. The exit angle for the hooklink material has been being specified so that it improves hooking potential, without closing up the gape of the hook.
These Kwik Lok Flexi-Ring Swivels have been designed as the perfect quick change Helicopter rig component. The quick change crook allows looped hooklinks to be attached effortlessly; simply loop the hooklink onto the crook and sleeve with a Covert Anti Tangle sleeve.
Covert C-Lok Flexi-Ring Swivels are a hugely versatile quick change component that can be incorporated into almost any quick change hook rig, or on helicopter lead arrangements to enable you to swap looped hooklinks really quickly and easily. The inclusion of a Flexi Ring gives pop up hook rigs and Ronnie Rigs a perfect hinge point and this additional movement means that the hook is free to twist and flip. That means the rig reacts faster and hooks more fish! It’s that simple…
In essence they allow extra free movement of the hookbait, with free rotation and uninhibited pivoting of the hookbait. Essentially, this free movement means that the hook mechanics are un-inhibited and this means that the hook reacts and takes purchase even faster – even if the fish clamps down on the hookbait in its mouth. Incorporating a Flexi Hook Swivel like this also improves the separation between the hookbait and hook as the small swivel is mounted on a Covert large Rig Ring .
The index finger has a double layer of leather to protect your finger when repetitively casting a spod, without impairing the ‘feel’ needed for consistently achieving the required accuracy and distance.
