Skinned hooklinks have been widely available for many years now, Ultra Skin now offers significant improvements in terms of feel, colour, finish and ease of use.
It is really the softest and supplest material of its type; with the colours carefully specified and tweaked until we were 100% satisfied they were the best hue and 100% correct.
The matt finish isn’t only for show; it really helps the material blend into the aquatic environment and the soft feel means that if a fish bumps into it, whilst feeding on a baited spot, it feels ‘natural’ and is less likely to alarm a fish that may be a bit ‘edgy’. Of course this is also helped by the fact that the material sinks well, and is more likely to settle flush to the lake bed.
As anglers we realise that most soft hooklinks need pinning down (because the hook bait tends to drop nearer the lead than the length of the hooklink) and a blob of Critical Mass tungsten putty half way along the hooklink really makes a difference to your final presentation – even with really heavy hooklink materials like Ultra Skin – particularly if you’re fishing on hard spots that are very clean due to feeding fish.
Ultra Skin is easy to strip and will not rupture whilst tightening down a well tied ‘figure of 8’ loop knot.
The unique polymer mix used in the skin means that Ultra Skin straightens easily*, even just using your fingertips.
(*Keeping your hooklinks straight is important, as it improves the manner in which the rig settles and helps to alleviate tangles. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference in terms of a rig’s overall performance.)
Great service as always . Great product well packaged and as described . Top job the tackle tavern ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Probably the best fishing trolley, I Have owned. Sturdy and well built includes a really good storage bag and can be adjusted in length.
The wheels are wider making it easy to push. A little heavier than most, but I can live with that.
Having been a box user I needed to get a chair that was more comfortable for my ageing body. After changing I missed the front legs on my boxes footplate for the attachments such as rod rests, Keepnet arms, bait trays etc. This foot plate does the job admirably and is of wood qulity. Also a very good service from Tackle Tavern, I will use them again.
Great build quality and extremely comfortable.
Possibly the best pellets out there.
4mm size are perfect for my bream fishing
Light, compact and very easy to set up and pack away.
Strong flavour and good viscosity for dripping on to hook baits and cage feeders fished with pellets. Bottle is small but it goes a long way if used in sensible amounts. Good stuff for boosting flavours and tench and bream seem to love this stuff.
I have been using other brand hookable pellets in these flavours and found they are too soft, disintegrate too fast and can come off (even on a hair rig) on longer casts. These are much more durable. Not quite as flavoursome or oozing but the trade off is worth it as can fish with confidence knowing the bait is on the hook. Good stuff indeed !
Excellent service, great price and prompt delivery.
This chair is almost half the weight of the it replaced.
As ever great quality true to size,service second to none fast delivery I have used tackle tavern before will definitely use again. Thanks ps must remember to use my 5% discount next time
Shimano tx lite ‘ excellent rod , lightweight and well made the 9’ 2.75tc ideal for margin fishing , surface tactics excellent
They look brilliant, like the rest of guru products
The store's service is fully professional, fast and hassle-free delivery. Baskets (in my opinion) are the best for river fishing. The price... with this discount, is decent.
Beautiful rod, even though I thought it was the 9/11 ft not the 11ft only. My mistake. Excellent condition, brilliant service all round. Thank you.
