Funnelweb’s main function is to create a PVA bag of any size in the shortest time possible – bags can be made in less than 30 seconds, leaving any other system for dust. Funnel Web minimises wasted PVA making it the most cost-effective PVA bag system ever made. If you are not using it in your carp fishing, you’re missing out! Once you have used all your PVA you should not throw away your system. Simply buy a Funnel Web refill pack and thread on another 5m or 10m. The refills are available in Hexmesh or Micromesh when youre using tiny baits in 5m or 20m lengths. Each refill is colour coded to match the correct PVA system.
The Wide Gape hook has become a true design classic, and has accounted for more big carp than any other pattern. It was based on the cult Maruta Kinryu pattern that found favour with the likes of Terry Hearn in the 1990s.
All of the Hookbait Enhancement Systems include all the required attractors, sweeteners and enhancers that will help to boost the attraction level of all hookbaits, pellets and even groundbait mixes. The Neutral version can be customised by adding about 5ml of your chosen Profile Plus flavour or 5-10ml of your chosen Response flavour and mixed well by shaking. As the base includes everything else and is 100% water soluble, nothing else is required to create the soak or dip of your chosen flavour.
Mainline’s Supa Sweet Ziggers are perfectly shaped, ultra-buoyant hookbaits, which as they’re name suggests have been designed as the perfect Zig Rig hookbait. Ideally suited to targeting fish active within any layer of the water column.
All the power of Rock Salt fortified with amino acids and taste enhancers for the strongest feeding response yet. If you’ve ever wondered how some big name anglers catch all the biggest carp in a water in a short space of time – this additive may well be their edge!
Corrosion resistant drill bit with sharp point for precise drilling without splitting bait. Adjusting the amount of cork allows everything from precise balancing of baits to extra buoyant pop-ups.
ESP Lo Pro Brolly, With a fairly simple redesign, the ESP Lo Pro has dispensed the need for storm poles by incorporating a frame which allows it to be freestanding. So, six of its eight ribs are in contact with the ground. For ease of set-up, it is still built around a conventional space saver umbrella mechanism. Instead of relying on storm poles to support the front, the Lo Pro features simple yet clever extending ribs by means of an elasticated joint which elongates the front side ribs when assembled allowing them to be in contact with the ground. By moving these extended ribs in or out the height of the front of the shelter is adjusted, allowing for different weather conditions, varying terrain and visibility requirements. Similarly, the rear side ribs can be moved in or out to adjust the width and internal space of the shelter. The Lo Pro is nominally 52 in size, but with the ability to vary the size of its footprint slightly, even the longer bedchairs can fit. When the brolly is broken down, the ribs simply detach and fold up, making the length 6 foot (1.82m) - easily manageable for transportation. The Lo Pro rolls up nice and thin and will fit inside even small quivers. Not having to carry storm poles saves on weight, and excluding the 8 pegs and the lightweight bag which houses the brolly, it weighs in at a very modest 3.30kg (total weight including bag and pegs 4kg). Although in practice we have found storm poles to be surplus to requirements, we have included attachments on the upper front ribs, so in really severe conditions, they can be used. The Lo Pro is built around a very strong but light fibreglass frame made up of 8mm diameter ribs. The cover is 210D PU backed nylon with a 5,000mm hydrostatic head. The way the frame is configured allows for the extended quarter panels at the front which provide excellent protection from the elements. After the seed of a concept idea proved workable, the Lo Pro has been developed and tested over nearly two years through all four seasons and has performed admirably throughout. It is a genuine development on the oval umbrella theme and is the perfect shelter for the discerning angler who wishes to travel light and stay mobile. A heavy duty groundsheet is also available separately.
Our new ‘Wafter’ hookbaits have been designed and extensively tested to provide the modern-day angler the ability to create ‘critically-balanced’ hookbait presentations – quickly and easily. Simply thread the hookbait onto a Hair Rig and the weight of the rig hook will counterbalance the slow sinking buoyancy of the ‘Wafter’ perfectly!
Mainline's High Impact range of Hookbait Enhancement System dips help to boost the attraction level of hookbaits, boilies, pellets and groundbait. Utilising our exclusive High Impact flavours, as well as a list of proven sweeteners and attractors, these PVA friendly liquids can enhance any bait to draw fish from all levels of the water column.
Working closely with our consultants and field testers we know the importance of making a perfect pop-up and in the Polaris Mix we think we offer that. We have taken out all the hard work of producing the perfect pop-up, just add eggs your chosen additives, mix, roll and boil then leave to dry and hey-presto, you have a perfect super-buoyant hookbait.

Just like it's little brother, the Wide Gape X is suited to both pop-up and bottom-bait presentations. The heavily forged, square bend, beaked point and in-turned eye combine to make sure that you land that elusive monster, whether you're fishing a hard syndicate in the UK, or dodging tree stumps on some Continental super-water.
