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.)
Need some 10ft rod sleeves these came up for an absolutely song. Quick delivery and kept informed
Very pleased with this purchase. The Tackle Tavern was extremely helpful, the product is excellent, very well made and I expect it to be very durable. The seat height is good and the arms on the chair made it easy to get out of even for an aging person like myself. Overall very good value for money.
Great product and great price
arrived next day well packed not put up yet but thankyou
Bigger than expected . Very light for size. Very comfortable can’t wait to use it
I was excited to get these boots but almost immediately on my walk the dew from the grass seemed to soak through the tongue at the front and both socks were wet when I got home. Seems to be a fault with this style of boot wherever you buy them and whatever make they are the tongue allows water in ...that is when walking through grass.
Excellent service no problems very good updates from store and carrier on delivery A+++
Great chair. Really well made and super light.
Big mud feet. Best chair out there for the money.
This net looks a decent bit of kit but the bow loc system is absolutely stuiped, you have to put that much force into to lock and unlock it's bruised all my arm, (it might slacken off a bit with use) I'm not a small bloke Eddie hall would seriously struggle with it, ide hate to think if say ya was on a boat and had to unlock 1 handed it would be impossible, if you are maybe female, disabled even old I seriously would think twice about buying this net ,it's like the nets to small for the bars to lock into place ,I've spoken on solar forums to other anglers with the p1 bow loc net and they have said its with been new and should slacken off with use ,I've watched all the you tube videos on net, I'm sure I'm doing it right but honestly it's an absolute nightmare to use 1 star might be unfair has looks a really decent net but untill it slacken off abit it's pointless
