Carp Fishing Rig Tools

Most anglers rely on their fishing reel’s clutch whilst playing fish – but most don’t realise each time that your reel spool turns 360 degrees, you are putting an additional single twist in your reel line. Now imagine how many times this happens whilst you’re playing a carp, or the twists that are putting into the reel line when you get a run and the fish tears off against it accompanied by a screaming buzzer.

Baiting Needles - A versatile range of baiting needles - Range includes splicing and stringer needles - High-viz handles prevent loss - Built to last 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. We have produced the needles in mega-bright colours to minimise the chance of misplacing them. How many times have you dropped your baiting needle onto the grass and lost it? A lot I would guess. However, this is now completely eliminated with the super-bright handles on the Korda range of needles.

The Basix Rig Scissors are the perfect choice for anglers, as the serrated area on the blades ensures a clean cut, which is especially important when using braided hook link materials. The blades are made from stainless steel to ensure they are long-lasting and won’t rust, and the ergonomically designed handles not only fit your fingers comfortably, but are bright green in colour to make them easy to find. They have been designed to fit in the Basix Tackle Box.

Crimping is a great way to achieve neat, strong connections, especially when you are using stiffer and/or thicker materials which can be hard to knot effectively – plus it allows you to get the hook link length right every time, which is especially useful for chod rigs.

All of our RigSafes come with pins included which are designed to hold your pre-tied rigs in place, but if you lose them or need more, then you can buy them separately. The single pins are designed to hold your hook link swivel or loop firmly in place on the high density foam boards that are in the RigSafes. Sometimes you will want to finish off your rigs and tie them to the correct length once you arrive at the venue, and the double pins are designed specifically for this, plus are useful if you are using longer hook links that need to be doubled up to fit on the foam boards. The tops of the pins are designed so that they are very easy to grip. Each packet contains 30 single pins.
