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.)
This is the place to go for excellent service and customer pride, email about the delivery from start to finish so your never wondering where your goods are. Price's are great and the good always arrives in great condition
Really great deal on 2 pre loved reels. Excellent condition and the same price you would pay for 1 of the reels. Highly recommend.
Cheapest I could find and the postage is super quick.
I have had fish from an 1oz right upto 13lb
You should have no issues landing f1s with ease, once you start pulling they just pop up.
Don't fish right next to snags as it is very stretchy.
Great idea and well put together, accommodates all your terminal gear..
Great service from the shop. This was to replace a product that I unfortunately destroyed.
Not yet used them but great looking rods, didn’t realise they have 50mm butt eyes so a challenge for the rod bag. Tackle Tavern, exceptional company to deal with, always a pleasure
I’ve never had a tripod. Saw the Trakker deluxe, and ordered one. Fab bit of kit. Well made and very sturdy. Great price as well.
First carp to weigh on it was a 34.5lb.
So much easier to use rather than a pole with hook at the end.
The headtorch worked fine for 24 hours but on the second night the lens just turn off on full beam after a few seconds I’ve tried changing the batteries and the other modes work fine but the main beam is just turning off straight away
Just back from a weeks fishing break and this chair was brilliant. Super lightweight, comfortable and fit all my accessories. I’ve had a lot of chairs but this has to be the best.
Tackle Tavern offer it for the best price I’ve found on the internet, communication and delivery service were brilliant.
Would love to review the Sonik Vader rod but going into day eight after ordering it I am still waiting for DHL to deliver it and yes it was over £40.
Already have a 520 but needed a bit more grunt on a 13ft distance feeder rod. Haven’t used it yet but looks like it will do the business casting and retrieving 90gm feeders, really looks the part on the rod and can’t wait to get out to try it
great landing net, easy to put together. this is the second net i purchased, the other is a 26inch scope net both Korum. great landing nets.
Nice alarms but unfortunately for me I suffer from high tone hearing loss and tinnitus I am not able to find a tone and volume setting i am able to hear comfortably. A very expensive mistake!
Flexible good quality and easy to grip your rod from rest, does exactly what they are supppse too.
Second one of this xl Preston box and they are awesome strong and durable so easy to store not like my old cloth luggage, it doesn't matter if they in the rain just a quick wipe off after a session.
Awesome pair of boots bought for the cold fishing sessions but have tried on and went a size up and fits great with thick pair of socks
Brilliant waders loads of room for us big lads . Easy to put on and strong material.
