Ready to fish from the packet - with pre-tied BASIX Coated Hooklink
Each rig is pre-tied using BASIX Coated Hooklink, producing a finished hooklink that removes on-bank knotwork. The coated hooklink adds abrasion resistance and a tidy finish to the rig.
Immediate use saves setup time and reduces faffing at first light, ideal for short sessions or when conditions change quickly.
Higher hookup potential - with BASIX Wide Gape hook design
Wide gape hooks increase the gap between point and shank, improving point exposure during a take and aiding secure penetration. The profile helps the point sit ready when a bait is sucked in.
Improved chance of solid hook-holds on carp and other larger coarse fish, reducing the number of missed strikes at the bank.
Neat presentation and tangle resistance - with silicone bait retainer and anti-tangle sleeve
A piece of silicone secures bait on the hair while a BASIX anti-tangle sleeve sits over the knot and leader to keep the line aligned during the cast. The combination reduces line whips and knot exposure.
Cleaner bait presentation keeps pop-ups and boilies in the strike zone longer and cuts down on lost casts and damaged rigs.
