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.
The tough, matt camo tungsten coating sinks heavily and strips easily while being resilient to fracturing on knots. Straightens without steaming. The super strong Dyneema core has an achievable knot strength of over 30lb.
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.
Zig & Floater Mono features a fine diameter to knot strength ratio, it is tough and durable and has just the right amount of stretch to make it perfect for combining with smaller hooks.
Tapered Leaders greatly reduce stretch and means that all the casting power is transmitted directly to the lead for greater distance. Their ultra slick surface finish means they absolutely fly out through the rings.
Pop-ups which have been pierced and threaded onto a hair rig are more likely to absorb water and lose buoyancy. Super Floss has a wide, flat profile which grips the pop-up securely without cutting in, even when the bait has swollen slightly. The pop-up can then be tied to a rig ring with 3 or 4 overturn knots. Rather than using super glue leave about 1cm tails at the end of the floss, then using a lighter burn back the ends to form small hard blobs, giving total security.
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.
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.
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.
Following its launch in 2011, ESP Syncro XT mono has grown to become one of the most widely used and well respected top end mainlines available. And with very good reason, it ticks all the boxes regarding what's required from a top performing carp mono: unbeatable knot strength, optimum stretch, quick sinking, superb abrasion resistance without being wiry and this relative suppleness makes it a front-runner when it comes to distance casting.
Expertly tied to super sharp ESP Curve-Shanx hooks and buoyant enough to support a long mono hook link, the black foam body acts as a silhouette, replicating a bug perfectly and acting as a lure to carp feeding aggressively on fly hatches.
Boilies are made from a tough, super buoyant material which does not lose buoyancy. These boilies can be ‘glugged’ in flavours for additional attraction or left un-flavoured. Each pack contains 16 pieces - two of each size (four different sizes) and colour.
