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.
The Stiff Rig relies on a rigid hooklink to stand the bait off a fixed distance from the lead. The rigidity of the rig improves the effectiveness of the bolt rig system and provides a more efficient self-hooking mechanism.
These Standard Uni-Link Swivels also improve the presentation of lighter, more flexible mono and soft braided hook links, effectively reducing tangles on the cast. They come in packets of 10 and are available in sizes 9, 10 and 11 to fit all popular safety clips and in line leads.
These Splicing Needles come in a pack of three and are used to created spliced joints in leadcore. Spliced joints are much stronger than any knot and have the additional advantage of being extremely neat and streamlined. Maximum strength can be achieved with a spliced section of 30mm.
This is a pure fluorocarbon, not just a fluorocarbon coating. It has a specific gravity (SG) of 1.78 which ensures that rigs sink quickly and lie tight to the bottom. An excellent hook link material, particularly effective for wary carp in clear water.
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.
Shank Stops are housed on a handy frame that can be stored neatly in the tackle box. No more problems trying to extract a tiny stop from a flip-top box. The frame contains 40 stops, 20 of each mini and small. The mini stops are perfect for hook sizes 8 and 10, whilst the small are best suited to larger hooks.
The 5mm Rubber Shock Beads are designed to fit perfectly over the top of 0.5mm silicone tubing when used on leadcore for helicopter and chod rigs. In the event of a break, the top bead will push off the silicone tube and with its enlarged bore, the bead is then free to pass over the leader knot. The 8mm Rubber Shock Beads are made from an extra tough polymer and provide the perfect shock absorber when used in running lead and marker float setups. The tapered bore provides a perfect snug fit for the eye of a size 9 swivel.
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.
These matt black Quick Change Uni-Links can also be used on a helicopter rig where the crook allows quick change of a looped hooklink and the large ring provides a safe set up. The two different sizes can be tailored to different sized hooks and baits to create a perfectly balanced presentation.
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.
