They fit perfectly into the ESP lead clips and the crook allows you to quickly change looped hooklinks. For an efficient anti-tangle setup, quick change swivels are best used with an ESP Streamliner Rig Boom. This also tends to push the hooklink away from the lead.
The crook link allows quick change of any hook length which terminates in a loop it is best to slide a Streamliner Sleeve or section of silicone tube over the crook in use. For fish safety, the large diameter ring can pass freely over a leader knot.
Ideal for sealing PVA Bags and keeping boilies nicely spread apart on stringers, it is also useful for tying long hairs to the hook to prevent them from tangling on the cast.
This special ESP blend of PVA string has an extra loose weave which allows water to penetrate between the filaments ensuring rapid meltdown without residue. These strands can be further separated into finer lengths for even faster dispersal.
PVA Mesh Refills come in two sizes 20-25mm and 32mm and are designed to fit directly onto the tubes supplied in the PVA Kits.
The 20mm diameter PVA Mesh Kit is ideal for producing small, discreet parcels of bait and attractants and for making ultra-slim 'dynamite sticks' which are perfect for long range casting. The bait tube has a slightly flared top to make filling easier and is moulded in a tough durable polymer. The 25mm diameter PVA Mesh Kit is ideal for producing 'dynamite sticks' and small parcels of pellet, crushed boilies, mixers etc. The bait tube has a slightly flared top to make filling easier and is moulded in a tough durable polymer. The 32mm diameter PVA Mesh Kit is ideal for producing less compacted, rounded bags of bait. It is therefore supplied with a flexible moulded funnel which fits securely in place over the top of the bait tube and can be removed for convenient storage. The bait tube is loaded with PVA Mesh knitted from an ultra-fine thread with a strong anti-ladder construction. The unique combination of thread diameter and weave pattern produces a versatile mesh tube which is strong enough to be packed hard with bait yet fine enough to retain tiny pellets, boilie crumb and maggots.
Plain PVA Bags are suitable for use with oil-based liquid additives and flavourings. The perforated PVA Bags have multiple small holes over their whole surface so pockets of air cannot remain trapped inside the bag. This makes them ideal for distance casting and ensures they sink rapidly in deep water.

Their small size and non-reflective finish make E-S-P Mini Clips ideal for a variety of neat unobtrusive terminal rigs.
ESP Marker Gum is the perfect material for tying stop knots on monofilament and braided main lines to maintain consistent accuracy when clipping up and casting to baited spots and features.
Their blow moulded bodies are more buoyant than balsa, are much tougher and not prone to damage. Marker Darts do not oscillate in flight, cast straight and true ensuring precise accuracy at distance even in a crosswind.
With a perfect balance of rigidity and flexibility, Line Aligners extend the hook shank at exactly the right angle to maximumise hooking potential and then flex enough to avoid interfering with direct in-line pull and secure hook hold.
The frame contains 20 beads, 10 with a large bore and 10 with a small bore with a central membrane. The large bore bead is a perfect interference fit over the 0.5mm silicone tube supplied with the beads. This is designed to be fished as the upper bead on the leadcore leader, so that in the event of a break off the bead can easily pop off the silicone tube under minimal pressure, and slide over the leader knot, allowing a hooked fish to rid itself of the leader.
Leadcore is immensely strong with a breaking strain of around 45lbs and with its high abrasion resistance, it is ideal for coping with heavy weed and snags, while the special two-tone weave provides excellent camouflage.
The Hook Ring Swivel is ideally mounted on hook shanks or for D-rigs and in combination with the free movement of the swivel improves presentation and hooking potential.
On Chod Rigs, in particular, the swivel’s ability to spin round and help the hook catch hold in the carp’s mouth is of critical importance. These can also be used to improve braided or lighter mono hooklinks, reducing tangles and ensuring that rigs lie flat on the bottom.
There are lots of very similar looking swivels on the market but many of them are of totally inferior quality. ESP's Hi-Performance Carp Swivels are produced in Japan to exacting engineering standards providing a smooth rotation even under pressure. These have no rough edges or angles and are ultra smooth and finished in a pearl black metallised coating. They have a 50lb test rating and each is formed from round section wire.
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.
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.
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.
Having miniature tapered ends, they feed easily into the smallest hair loop, even one which is wet and has stayed closed. The narrow-waisted middle provides a secure seat for the loop and the miniature dumbbell shape holds the stop firmly in place.

They grip on a range of sizes from 4s to 10s and act as an ideal stop for ESP Micro and Mini Rig Rings and Hook Ring Swivels.
