Enables tough skinned baits like mackerel/eel sections to be lightly hooked. Attach them to your trace system and follow the instructions on the packet. Allows a full-blooded cast to be made without needing to bury hooks in the tough skin of the bait, thereby avoiding the risk of not being able to strike the hooks into the pike’s jaw. Packed in 4s with oval split rings.

Extremely useful for keeping line above bottom weed when legering. Where sensitivity to resistance is important, these are a must. Fitted with buoyant bodies, low resistance run rings and beads.

It’s always wise to ensure that the minimum resistance is offered when a predator takes the bait. These large diameter rings and oval beads will ensure just this. Dropped runs due to excessive resistance could be a thing of the past.

Profiled to fit most treble hooks, these Treble Hook Sleeves have been designed to provide a neat finish and protect the wire wraps when making your own traces. A shorter, thicker, inner profile makes these sleeves perfect for covering the upper treble on twin hook traces. 25 per pack.

When pike are lethargic it is essential to troll baits in such a way that they closely follow the bottom contours, and the popular technique is to use the ’bottom bouncing’ method. This pack contains two 13" fibre stem ’bottom bouncers’ fitted with snap links, buoyant bodies and low resistance run rings and beads. These special stems will keep the bait right in the strike zone of fat, lazy pike.
