ESP Pop-up Sugar Rush - 13mm
EBAA13
The 13mm are perfect for Ronnie Rigs using long shank hooks such as the ESP Trig-Hammer. This smaller bait combines very well with a large hook where the bait sits towards the top of the shank on the bend, and using a smaller bait tends to result in better hook holds. The 13's are buoyant enough even for the size 4 Trig-hammer XT's with a D-Sleeve and will maintain optimum presentation for a prolonged period. The 13's are also tailor made for tipping bottom baits for snowman rigs and wafters, or for zigs.

The 13's are also tailor made for tipping bottom baits for snowman rigs and wafters, or for zigs.
The 16's are great for chods and hinge rigs, where the hookbait is located lower down the shank near the eye on a D. The hook tends to sit proud, just below the bait and a larger hookbait is well proven with this presentation and provides extra visual and aromatic attraction.

Sticky Baits Pure Calanus Hydro 500ml
PC
Sticky Baits Pure Calanus Hydro 500ml
Pure Calanus Liquid Hydrolysate is one of the most exciting steps forward in marine-derived protein sources in many years.
It is 100% sustainable yet contains an almost unparalleled amino acid profile. Pure Calanus benefits from high levels of some of the most essential and attractive amino acids for all fish species. These provide water-soluble attraction and nutrition that is highly stimulating to carp.
This wonderfully salty, super-soluble liquid is incredibly low in fat and high in water-soluble protein. It pumps out attraction at a rapid rate, transmitting food signals far and wide. Its uses are only limited by your imagination; its relatively thin viscosity means it will penetrate boilies and pellets with ease before releasing a tantalising wave of attraction once applied to your chosen spot.
£12.99
Bait Tech Hemp Oil (500ml)
HOIL
Natural, organic, unrefined and packed with nutrients Hemp oil with its high levels of Omega 6 is THE most attractive and enriching oil available.

ESP Cryogen Gripper Barbless
ESPCRYOGB
This pattern is the culmination of striving to design the perfect all round beaked point carp hook.
The Gripper was subject to various design tweaks through the development process and the end result was well worth waiting for! The super fine, long curved point is the perfect shape and during testing, provided exceptionally secure hook holds. Other features include a 10-degree in-turned eye (slightly less than the Classic to allow for the inclined beaked point), heavy forging and of course, the slick PTFE Tufflon coating. New manufacturing techniques including both high temperature and cryogenic tempering have produced significantly stronger hooks with more durable, long life points.
Cryogenic tempering is a process used to improve the molecular structure of steel which in turn reduces stress and improves strength and wear resistance. It is used in many disciplines with Formula 1 engine parts being a classic example. Bench tests on initial samples proved to us that the new tempering processes combined with improved designs and heavy forging resulted in hooks that were 25-30% stronger than other Tufflon coated carp hooks in the same wire gauge. So rather than having to improve strength by simply increasing wire gauge, new manufacturing processes have allowed ESP to maintain optimum wire gauges for each size which allow for fine, ultra-sharp needle points which are now more durable than ever.

ESP Soft Ghost Fluorocarbon 20m
ESPSOFTGHOST
ESP Soft Ghost, Now even softer with more stretch, ESP Soft Ghost is an excellent hooklink or leader material particularly for wary carp in clear water. Being a pure fluorocarbon with the same light refractive index as water it is virtually invisible. A specific gravity of 1.78 makes it denser than water so rigs sink quickly and lie tight to the bottom. For maximum knot strength at the swivel end we recommend a 5 turn grinner or palomar and to attach the hook, a knotless knot or domhoff whipping knot.
From £7.95
Fox Essentials Edges Foam Barrels - 7mm x 12mm
CAC940
Fox Edges Foam Barrels. The perfect addition to hookbaits for additional buoyancy or deadly when used on Zigs. They can be used with the Zig Loading tool for the Alignas and can be used on hair rigs too. Made from high density foam and available in Standard or X-Large. 10 per pack with an assortment of 5 different colours.

Sticky Baits Mulbz Bait Spray
MBBS
Sticky Baits Mulbz Bait Spray
The Bait Spray range has been designed as an alternative attractor to supplement the liquids already in each range. Although we swear by our Liquid Food and Glug ranges, they arent ideal for soaking hookbaits for prolonged periods of time, as their dense nature can dramatically affect the buoyancy of a pop-up or wafter and render your rig mechanics useless. Bait Sprays are a much lighter alternative, that easily absorb into your chosen hookbait, yet still pack the same punch as their thicker counterparts simply grab a tub of hookbaits and give them a couple of sprays to seriously boost their attraction!

CC Moore Liquid Krill Compound - 500ml
99931
Krill are small crustaceans, which live in the Antarctic Southern Ocean and contain both high quality protein and oil. Their protein contains essential amino acids and their oil is rich in nutritionally beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.
Whole Krill Compound is a highly attractive, highly nutritious liquid food made from Fresh Whole Krill, which are clearly visible as they populate the various layers of your swim; this stimulates an intense natural feeding response that other baits are simply unable to achieve.

ESP Anchor Braid 10m
ESPABRAID

ESP Cryogen Curve Shanx Barbless
ESPCRYOCS
This is the same classic curve pattern previously known as the ESP Raptor, but this new range has been made even better by stepping up the wire gauge in each size and giving them the Cryogen treatment. These Curves are now around 25% stronger than their predecessors while still retaining long fine needle sharp points which are now extra durable. These are highly effective in a whole variety of rig presentations (perfect for the Ronnie Rig) and their quick turning, anti-eject shape combined with a needle sharp point ensures exceptional hook holds.

ESP Camo Sink Link 10m
ESPCAMOLINK
ESP Camo Sink Link, ESP Camo Sink Link is a super strong, soft un-coated braided hook link material which takes camouflage to the next level. Tightly woven with a silky smooth feel and featuring alternating tones of colour which act to break up the outline of the hook link making it really inconspicuous, this provides a definite edge when fishing for pressured, rig shy carp in clear water. Although dyneema based for maximum strength, the special combination of interwoven fibres makes this braid sink heavily and its suppleness ensures it hugs the contours of the lake bed. Perfect for a variety of presentations such as stiff / soft or reverse combi rigs when used in conjunction with a stiffer material such as Ghost fluorocarbon or for simple braided bottom bait rigs, especially on waters where stiffer materials may be treated with suspicion or for stalking at close quarters. Available in two colour ranges, camo brown and green which blends in perfectly over weed and 3 tone brown which is virtually invisible over gravel, in 15lb, 20lb and 25lb on handy little 10m spools.

ESP Cryogen Trig-Hammer Barbless
ESPCRYOTHB
ESP Cryogen Trig-Hammer Barbless, A new long shank pattern that has proved outstanding during field testing. A new long shank pattern that has proved outstanding during field testing. Ultra-sharp, long fine needle points combined with an aggressive shape that achieves incredibly secure hook holds. Especially affective on Ronnies and also bottom bait rigs where it flips and pricks instantly. Available in barbed and barbless in sizes 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 and made using the same twin tempering process as the existing Cryogen hooks which results in exceptional strength and point durability. The relative proportions of a long subtly curved shank, 9 in-turned eye, wide gape and long hypodermic like point result in a hook pattern that is incredibly effective. On Ronnie rigs the hook point is in an aggressive poised position making it a very efficient hooker with superb hook holds and it is equally effective on bottom bait rigs, where the hook is very difficult to eject and turns and catches hold securely even without the aid of a line aligner or kicker.
From £4.45
Fox Edges Wide Gape Long Shank
CHK2
The Wide Gape Long Shank has been developed with the intention of creating the ultimate modern carp hook, combining key elements from the greatest fish catching patterns, for use on the most popular rigs around today. We started with a long shank hook, renowned for it’s hooking properties, we added to that a slight, but sweeping curve, this ensures the hook will turn in an instant once inside the carps mouth, putting it in the prefect hooking position. A wide gape was also required, to give the point as much chance of catching hold as possible. Finally, a beaked point to ensure that once hooked the hook remains in place and the chances of it pulling are reduced. Never have all these elements been combined in a carp hook and the result is deadly! These hooks are perfectly suited to Ronnie/Spinner rig presentations alongside all manner of different bottom bait and popup rigs.
