Sticky Baits Signature Squid Wafters
These hookbaits are far removed from classic hookbaits of old, which contained very little in the way of soluble attraction.
Our exclusively sourced squid hydrolysate, a potent squid and octopus flavouring, and a multitude of powdered ingredients set Signature Squids apart from other the hookbaits on the market.
Traditionally fluoro hookbaits have always been a very simple product, a bit of nice flavouring and a simple base mix.
We have taken this concept many steps into the future with the Signature Squids. By adding different levels of attraction from soluble fish proteins to fishy flavoured palatants.
Each one adds a new dimension to these incredibly attractive hookbaits.
As we know every day is different in angling, we have produced the Signature Squids with the ultimate in versatility.
Each tub contains three dull, yet visual coloured hookbaits; pink, yellow and white.
We have purposefully dulled the colour down with these hookbaits to make them stand out in a more subtle way than a traditional, in your face, fluoro.
Signature Squid Wafters are perfectly designed to sink slowly under the weight of your hook, a presentation which can fool even the wariest of carp.

Sticky Baits Trouties Mixed Size Pellets 2.5kg
Trouties are a throwback to the late 80s and 90s, where trout pellets boomed!
In recent years they have almost been forgotten about, but we had to bring back this legendary bait.
Highly regarded as an excellent energy source for carp, packed with protein and oils, Trouties are practically irresistible as they produce a distinct, quite unique competitive feeding response.
For ease of use, Trouties come in a blend of 3mm, 4.5mm and 6mm sizes, mixed in the optimum ratio to serve as many purposes as possible.
They can be used in spod mixes, on their own or with any other bait you desire, and due to their density and size there’s no problem with them reaching the bottom even in strong undertows. By incorporating plenty of 3mm pellets,
Trouties also make excellent PVA bags, offering a parcel of focused attraction around your hookbait.
Whatever way you decide to use them, be it in a Spomb, PVA bag or even a boat, Trouties are sure to catch you plenty of carp!
Thinking Angler Compact Crimper
There’s no doubt that crimping forms extremely neat, strong, and reliable connections – with the benefit of being able to duplicate hook link length and loop sizes with absolute precision every time.
This makes crimping ideal for constructing a range of specialist rigs, including Chod and Hinged hook sections, booms, and loops.
We have rigorously tested and can wholly recommend using the following TA products with the TA Compact Crimp Tool and our 0.60mm crimps – ‘Recoil’ stiff link material in 25lb and 30lb, ‘Think Link’ (low-memory mono) in both 25lb and 30lb, ‘Tint Link’ 25lb, or the new ‘Crimp Link’ Fluorocarbon hook links.
When compressing crimps down always make sure that the crimp is seated squarely in the recess, and you feel the crimp crunch down securely.
Always check that the crimp has compressed fully and no flat spots have been formed upon compression.
We recommend using the larger slot for the higher diameter materials such as 0.55mm, 0.60mm and 0.65mm materials, and using the smaller slot for 0.50mm materials.
Always test your hooklink after crimping to check that you have got a secure connection on your chosen material.
The 0.60mm crimps included with the crimp tool are ideal for use with any of the recommended hooklinks, having been rigorously tested on monofilament materials between 0.50mm and 0.60mm diameter.
TA Compact Crimper is supplied with 25 x 0.60mm crimps.
Compact Crimper dimensions: 117mm (l) x 50mm (w)

Thinking Anglers Bait Floss
TA Bait Floss is a low stretch/ high wax floss that’s ideal for tying/looping hook baits on. Attaching hookbaits retains almost any pop-up hook bait’s buoyancy for longer periods.
It’s flat profile, strength, ideal diameter and lack of stretch ensures that TA Bait Floss securely grips even the smoothest hardest roundest hookbaits.
The wax impregnated fibres go transparent when ‘licked’ with a lighter, ‘blobbing’ tidily and setting/sealing knots.
The controlled manner in which it melts also means this floss blobs back neatly when securing pierced hook baits with a blobbed knot.
TA Bait floss is supplied on 50m spools.

Thinking Anglers Beaked Chod Hooks
The new Beaked Chod hook draws its design heritage from the popular TA Curve Point hook pattern.
By adjusting the eye of this awesome pattern and upping the wire gauge to make it utterly bulletproof, it’s now perfect for use in conjunction with fluorocarbon and specialized stiff hooklink materials.
Beaked Chod hooks have a multitude of uses, ranging from bottom bait, Multi-Rigs, and D-style presentations.
The 15° angled out-turned eye works perfectly with these tricky materials as it allows the hook to sit at a naturally aggressive and efficient angle and doesn’t restrict the hook’s generous gape.
The out-turned eye also helps to maintain the perfect alignment between the hooklink material and the hook point – that means that the hook is easier to fine-tune with rigs tied with these hooklink materials.
The Beaked Chod hook features a supremely sticky, long hook point, that just wants to snare and bury itself quickly, bedding deeply with minimal resistance thanks to the point’s tapered profile, the pattern’s positive angle of draw, and our ‘slippery’ PTFE coating.
Simply put, the overall shape and specification have been developed to work cohesively, to offer exceptional performance right from pricking/hooking to creating secure hook holds and ultimately staying securely in place until the carp has been successfully landed.
These hooks are forged from a super-strong, extra-heavy gauge wire, and were thoroughly tried and tested by us under extremely rigorous conditions prior to their public release.
Key features/specifications:
PTFE Coating for optimum penetration.
Strong double tempered heavy gauge high carbon steel.
Super sharp, beaked points.
15° out-turned eye.
