ESP PVA Bags MK2The special PVA film is tough & strong, yet melts down without residue and most importantly, does so within the correct time frame. Many thin film bags begin meltdown on the descent and release the bait prematurely. Plain PVA Bags are suitable for use with oil-based liquid additives and flavourings. The perforated PVA Bags have multiple small holes over their whole surface so pockets of air cannot remain trapped inside the bag. This makes them ideal for distance casting and ensures they sink rapidly in deep water. When fully loaded with pellets, oil-based liquids and the lead, sock bags can weigh up to 6.5oz (184g) Provided the lead is placed right at the bottom of the bag, its long narrow shape maintains good casting range and accuracy. Bulk bags can be packed out with large amounts of boilies and particles. The PVA film is tough and impact resistant but when fully loaded with bait and lead, they can weigh up to 7.5oz (212g) so casting range is restricted. Multi bags can weigh up to 4.5oz (127g), allowing a decent amount of bait to be delivered accurately. The tough film survives the impact and reaches the bottom in deep water. Mini bags are the smallest of the range so they are ideal for distance casting. The consistent, residue-free breakdown ensures the whole bag will reach the bottom even in deep water. FEATURES Plain or perforated Special PVA film is tough & strong Melts down without residue

ESP Buoyant Sweetcorn Ideal for carp, tench and big bream, different sizes can be used alone or combined with natural corn to counterbalance the weight of the hook or create the perfect pop up. The Buoyant Sweetcorn has a very generous 16 grains in the packet (6 large, 6 medium, 2 small and 2 mini) plus two strips of complimentary mini yellow hairstops. An innovative feature is the hair stop recess on selected grains which accepts the mini hair stop. Some of the grains have the recess on the end whilst others have the recess on the side to suit various presentations. This recess makes the hair stop sit almost flush with the surface of the corn which not only looks very neat but is also a real help when fishing waters where crayfish are present, it makes it much more difficult for them to steal the bait! There are also grains with no hair stop recess at all. Buoyant Sweetcorn is perfect for a wide variety of presentations from balancing or tipping boilies or nuts, to creating the perfect pop up. The larger sizes are also ideal for zig rigs. The vibrant ‘nature identical’ yellow colour provides excellent visual attraction whilst the creamy sweetcorn flavour impregnated during the moulding process offers an attractive scent. Features: 16 grains in the packet (6 large, 6 medium, 2 small and 2 mini) Two strips of complementary yellow Hairstops Buoyant Hairstop recess

ESP Tungsten Loaded Hooklink 20lb Soft / Semi Stiff The tough, matt camo tungsten coating sinks heavily and strips easily while being resilient to fracturing on knots. Straightens without steaming. The super strong Dyneema core has an achievable knot strength of over 30lb. This soft version is perfect for subtle presentations with hook baits such as small boilies and nuts. Balanced or buoyant baits combined with the inherent suppleness of the braid will help the rig settle perfectly while still pushing the bait away from the lead. The semi-stiff version is outstanding as an all-round coated hooklink. When combined with larger hooks and boilies it is still rigid enough to push the bait away from the lead for optimum rig efficiency and also makes an excellent boom for hinge & Ronnie rigs. Available in muted camo weedy green, camo brown and choddy silt. Supplied on a 10m designer spool to fit the popular tackle boxes. Tried, tested and perfected in conjunction with Terry Hearn.

ESP Tungsten Putty Tungsten Putty provides all the key elements that make an excellent rig putty suitable for various applications.  Optimum density means just the right amount can be moulded around a swivel or hook link to provide efficient rig mechanics for balancing pop-ups on a variety of presentations. The putty’s adhesive properties ensure it stays in place on the cast and during use and it hardens slightly in water ensuring excellent durability. The inherent elasticity makes the putty easy to mould and with any relatively hard putty it becomes more malleable as it is warmed in the hands or this process can be aided in cold conditions with heat from a lighter or warm surface. For best results, pinch a small amount of putty off and mould and stretch to improve malleability and adhesion. Once moulded around a swivel or hook link, small amounts can carefully be trimmed off with scissors to achieve critically balanced rig presentations. Available in weedy green, camo brown and choddy silt so the putty can be matched to the lake bed or the different colours can be moulded together to create a multi camouflage putty. Supplied in handy little ‘tackle box friendly’ screw top jars containing 25g of putty. Features: 25g Optimum density Excellent adhesion & durability Tackle box friendly screw-top jar

ESP Cryogen Trig-Hammer HooksA new long shank pattern that has proved outstanding during field testing. Ultra-sharp, long fine needle points combined with an aggressive shape that achieves incredibly secure hook holds. Especially affective on Ronnie’s and also bottom bait rigs where it ‘flips and pricks’ instantly. Made using the same twin tempering process as the existing Cryogen hooks which results in exceptional strength and point durability. The relative proportions of a long subtly curved shank, 9° in-turned eye, wide gape and long hypodermic like point result in a hook pattern that is incredibly effective. On Ronnie rigs the hook point is in an aggressive poised position making it a very efficient hooker with superb hook holds and it is equally effective on bottom bait rigs, where the hook is very difficult to eject and turns and catches hold securely even without the aid of a line aligner or ‘kicker’. Features: Years of development Cryogenically tempered Incredibly strong Durable ultra sharp needle points Tufflon coated Micro-barbed and Barbless
