Terminal Tackle

Product information:

Adjustable Lead Clips can be used with heavy leads and PVA Bags for distance casting without risk of the lead ejecting on impact. Alternatively, the lead retaining arm can be cut back for more efficient lead ejection when targeting big carp in weedy or snaggy waters.

Features:

10 clips, tail rubbers & swivel retaining pegs per packet
Versatile
Adjustable
Durable

The extra diameter of this Big Eye provides extra clearance, smooth performance and less resistance. Big-Eye Swivels are also excellent on running lead arrangements and marker float set ups.

Product information:
 

Available with ergonomic hi-viz orange or green handles with a comfortable soft-touch finish, these super sharp scissors are perfect for all hook link materials and monofilaments.
 

One of the blades has a serrated edge which is perfect for gripping (without the need to hold under tension) and providing a clean cut on thicker materials such as stiff rig bristle filament.

With the increasing prevalence of crayfish in many venues, we have been asked to mould our artificial buoyant boilies to match some of the more popular food bait colours – and crucially make them look ‘washed out’ to mimic the freebies. So rather than being limited to fluoro artificials, a more subtle ‘match the hatch’ presentation is now easily achieved.
 

The new colours comprise red fishmeal, brown fishmeal, nut mix and the ever popular washed-out pink. They are sold in mixed packs of red fish & brown fish and nut mix & pink. Each pack contains 8 baits of each colour in four sizes. So in each colour there is 2 x 12mm, 2 x 13mm, 2 x 14mm and 2 x 15mm.
 

We have moulded these boilies as buoyant as we can possibly get them and they are suitable for balancing a variety of popular rigs. They can be made even more buoyant by heating a 6mm Nut Drill and coring out the bait then adding a 6mm cork stick and trimming flush with the bait. They can also be soaked in flavours to add an extra degree of attraction. The boilies feature a hair stop recess and include hairstops, they can also be attached using a metal bait screw so can easily be fished on the Trig-Hammer Ronnie Rigs or Cryogen Chod Rigs.
 

The rubbery material is tough and durable and resistant to the attentions of crayfish, giving peace of mind that there is still a bait on the rig!

Product information:
 

Ideal for carp, tench and big bream, different sizes can be used alone or combined with natural corn to counterbalance the weight of the hook or create the perfect pop up.
 

The Buoyant Sweetcorn has a very generous 16 grains in the packet (6 large, 6 medium, 2 small and 2 mini) plus two strips of complimentary mini yellow hairstops. An innovative feature is the hair stop recess on selected grains which accepts the mini hair stop. Some of the grains have the recess on the end whilst others have the recess on the side to suit various presentations. This recess makes the hair stop sit almost flush with the surface of the corn which not only looks very neat but is also a real help when fishing waters where crayfish are present, it makes it much more difficult for them to steal the bait! There are also grains with no hair stop recess at all.
 

Buoyant Sweetcorn is perfect for a wide variety of presentations from balancing or tipping boilies or nuts, to creating the perfect pop up. The larger sizes are also ideal for zig rigs. The vibrant ‘nature identical’ yellow colour provides excellent visual attraction whilst the creamy sweetcorn flavour impregnated during the moulding process offers an attractive scent.

The flexible silicone tube is mounted onto a soft sleeve which houses the lead retaining clip and provides a neat, streamlined system. You might wonder why this component is comprised of two parts, rather than being moulded as one piece. Well, the thermoplastic rubber used to mould the clip link retaining sleeve is malleable yet tough and is perfect for sleeving the clip link yet does not have the soft flexibility and inherent ‘spring’ of good old silicone tube so ESP have combined the two materials to create the perfect shock absorber buffer sleeve for chod rig work. The silicone tube can be shortened if required, as can the clip retaining sleeve if the leader is tied directly to the lead loop

Product information:

D-Sleeves create greater separation between the hook and pop-up for improved rig mechanics and better hook holds. The bait screw makes hookbait attachment easy and secure. The sleeve is a snug fit over the hook eye and swivel crook and makes changing the hook quick and easy. Available in two sizes to suit different hooks. 10 sleeves & 10 bait screws per pack.

Features:

10 Per pack
Durable yet soft
Supplied with bait screws

Double Corn is tough, super buoyant material which does not lose buoyancy. These boilies can be ‘glugged’ in flavours for additional attraction or left un-flavoured. Each pack contains 16 pieces - two of each size (four different sizes) and colour.
 

These can be used to perfectly balance a variety of pop up rigs such as Ronnie, hinged stiff or multi rigs without the need for additional putty. Other hooks and rig variations may require the addition of tungsten putty to balance - the possibilities are endless! Also, these can be used in combination with food bait boilies to create balanced ‘snowman’ rigs or even be used for zigs.
 

These baits provide a serious edge on crayfish infested waters where conventional pop-ups and tungsten putty are vulnerable to the attention of crayfish.
 

Available in five vibrant, highly attractive colours ranging from orange, pink & white and fluoro yellow and yellow.

Product information:
 

One ring Provides the all-important flexible hinge for the hooklink while the other, the attachment for the leadcore leader. These setups are particularly effective when stalking carp in weedy margins as the swivel easily pulls out to its housing allowing the lead to fall away

Product information:
 

Ejector Lead Clips can be fixed securely to the swivel by means of the locking peg. This prevents them from riding up the line or leader and ensures the lead will always eject first.

Due to the spring-like properties of the lead retaining arm, the lead will often eject as soon as a carp bolts. This usually results in the carp rising up in the water, making it relatively easy to play the fish above weed beds and other obstacles.

These clips are ideal when targeting single big carp where early release of the lead can be a distinct advantage. They are not ideal for distance casting with PVA Bags where the lead might disengage on impact, or for weed free 'runs waters' where multiple carp or tench are caught as this can result in too many leads being lost.

With a perfect balance of rigidity and flexibility, Line Aligners extend the hook shank at exactly the right angle to maximumise hooking potential and then flex enough to avoid interfering with direct in-line pull and secure hook hold.

Moulded in our own factory, Loaded Lead Clips feature an integrated swivel which is tied to the mainline or leader. There are two swivels available – quick change and uni-link ring swivel to cater for different preferences.

The lead retaining arm is strong enough for big leads but will release the lead when a fish is snagged or at the anglers discretion.

The tail rubbers provide a streamlined, anti-tangle join and are compatible with Tungsten Loaded tubing.

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.

Originally successful on commercial match waters, the flat method feeder has now been adopted for bigger carp on the prolific runs waters.
 

To cope with long range casting, larger diameter reel lines and to have enough weight to work effectively as a bolt rig, bigger, heavier and more aerodynamic method feeders are needed.
 

ESP’s Mega Method Feeders are the answer! These feeders can accommodate as much bait as the popular sizes of PVA bag but by using the accompanying mould, are much quicker and easier than filling and tying up a bag.
 

They are available in two body sizes, Large and X-large with the large in 2oz and 3oz and the XL in 2.5oz and 3.5oz, with a different size soft mould to fit each body – large (green) and X-large (orange).
 

During testing, these feeders have proven to be hugely successful and their beauty is in that they are so easy to use. By using any dedicated method mix groundbait mixed correctly, the bait stays in place on impact allowing it to dissolve and break down once on the lake bed – releasing attractants and food signals quickly into the water.
 

The design results in the lead in the flat base and the bait load distributing the weight into an aerodynamic bomb shape. This increases casting distance and improves accuracy even in strong crosswinds.
 

On the body of the feeder, the two largest bait holding ribs are well spaced and curved away from each other. This leaves a generous gap so the hook bait can be placed in the optimum position.
 

The semi-flexible bait mould has a small indentation at its centre point. By positioning the hook bait in this depression it will be perfectly located between the two largest curved ribs of the feeder and will sit partially showing right on top of the moulded bait. This puts it right in pole position for a positive pick up and hook hold as soon as a carp sucks in the bait.
 

Another interesting feature is the rubber grommet which fits up inside the nose of the feeder and accommodates either an ESP Quick Clip (supplied) or a size 9 swivel if preferred. This grommet provides a semi-fixed interference fit for an effective but safe bolt rig set up.
 

A full load of method mix ground bait adds roughly 1oz (30g) to the large body and 1.25oz (35g) to the XL. This means the heaviest 3.5oz XL feeder weighs around 4.75oz when bait is added so we recommend a powerful carp rod of at least 3lb test curve to be used for distance casting.
 

ESP Mega Method Feeders represent a major step forward in efficient bait delivery, presentation and convenience for the runs water carp angler – a devastatingly effective carp catching system.

These Quick Clips are extra strong and have a matt, non-glare finish. They are ideal for marker float setups and can be easily covered with either silicone or a Helicopter Rig Sleeve.

Product information:
 

By depressing the clip between thumb and forefinger it is very quick and easy to attach the hooklink loop and then slide the silicone tube sleeve over the clip.  Slim Clips are especially suitable when using sticks threaded onto the hooklink.

Product information:
 

The two sizes of mixer complement size 8 and 10 Cryogen Surface hooks perfectly. These hookbaits are durable yet soft enough to be pierced by the hook point and mounted on the shank and grip securely even when distance casting. Supplied in two shades of brown to match a variety of pet biscuit and pellet loose feed, 12 per pack. These are excellent imitation type hookbaits that can also be infused with flavours for added attraction.

Extra-heavy ESP streamlined heavy tungsten sinkers , ideal for pinning down mainlines and hooklinks.  Soft and flexible to prevent line damage, they're easy to slide onto mono lines and coated braids too.

They are easy to use and reduce splits and breakages when baiting up. Ultra-fine 1mm diameter drill produces smaller, neater holes.
 

The matching 1mm diameter needle has low profile barb with no sharp edges to fray or damage braid. Increased diameter towards base of needle is also useful for opening up the hair loop.

Product information:
 

The 12cm long, flat forged needle is exceptionally rigid and the gate latch head clasps and closes round loops allowing you to pull the hooklink back through sticks or bags.

Product information:

Using zig rigs can be a deadly tactic through the winter and spring or pretty much any time of year when the carp are feeding in the mid to upper layers of the water – during high pressure conditions or when fly hatches are occurring.
 

The zig aligners are designed to be used with size 8 or 10 hooks and help improve hooking efficiency and hook holds. The foam barrels provide the required buoyancy and can be sprayed with liquid flavours to further improve attraction. The loop on the aligner is a snug fit on the foam barrel but the tool included makes the assembly process very simple. The small hole on the loop can be used for flossing on maggots or bright material like foil or tinsel to gain extra bites when it’s tough going.
 

The kits are available in three colours: all black, black and red and black and yellow.
