Barrel Bobbins

ESP Barrel Bobbin Kit

Product information:
 

All components apart from the ball chain are machined in the UK in our own factory, ensuring exceptional quality and precision. The bobbins have an aesthetically pleasing barrel shape – a refreshing departure from the standard cylindrical shape of most bobbins.The two stainless ball chains have a unique feature where we have used a plastic connector at one end and a 3g stainless connector at the other. This allows the chain to be simply reversed to add weight to the bobbin when required. Also adding the 3g stainless add-on weight integrated into the hockey stick increases the weight further and means that the PTFE bobbin can be used at weights of 5g, 8g or 11g and the acrylic bobbins at 3g, 6g or 9g.

This makes for a highly versatile set up suitable for everything from slack line fishing where a light bobbin is used to tight line fishing at range with the weight of the bobbin increased to the maximum.

The interchangeable line clips simply allow the bobbin to be fished running on the line with the ball clips or gripping the line ‘Elstow style’ with the grip clips. The 3″ ball chain is best suited to this setup, with the bobbin fished on a short drop near the bite alarm.

There are eight lead clips and tail rubbers in each pack and they are available in three muted colours (weedy green, camo brown and silt grey) that blend perfectly over a variety of substrates.

ESP Barrel Bobbin Metal Head

The Metal Head Barrel Bobbin interchanges with the coloured Barrel Bobbins and weighs 15g and with the stainless chain connector and add-on weight incorporated can be increased to 21g. This extra weight improves bite indication at range on a tight line and especially in windy conditions. Kev Hewitt favours the Metal Head for most of his fishing and especially when zig fishing at range with a heavy lead where it comes into play for indicating dropbacks.
 

The interchangeable line clips simply allow the bobbin to be fished running on the line with the ball clips or gripping the line ‘Elstow style’ with the grip clips. The 3″ ball chain is best suited to this setup, with the bobbin fished on a short drop near the bite alarm.

ESP Black Stainless Bobbin Kits

Due to popular demand, black and white pure PTFE bobbins with black stainless fittings – all made in our UK factory, ensuring exceptional quality and precision. For the fittings we have used high grade stainless steel with a special durable black coating.
 

The two stainless ball chains have a unique feature where we have used a machined acetyl connector at one end and a 3g black stainless connector at the other. This allows the chain to be simply reversed to add weight to the bobbin when required. Also adding the 3g stainless add-on weight integrated into the hockey stick increases the weight further and means that the PTFE bobbin can be used at weights of 5g, 8g or 11g.
