ESP Cryogen Chod Hammer Hooks
The Chod-Hammers incorporate some of the best key features of their bigger brother, the highly effective Trig-Hammer; crucially we have mirrored the point profile of the Trig’s across all the sizes, so the long fine needle points are incredibly sharp.
The twin tempering process also means that although the points are very fine, they are also tough and durable. We have also mirrored the bend of the Trig to create a very strong shape.
The heavy forging and correct tempering gives the Chod-Hammers the correct degree of spring making them highly unlikely to open or snap.
The medium length shank terminates in a subtly out-turned eye, perfect for tying the knotless knot with stiff hook link materials such as bristle filament.
On this range we have increased the eye diameter slightly so that the larger sizes can accommodate 25lb bristle filament three times through the eye.
Wire gauges on the Chod-Hammers have been kept the same as their forerunner the Cryogen Stiff Rigger And with the sizes being very similar it means you can use the same pop-ups in relation to the hook size.
These new hooks have past the testing process with flying colours, consistently achieving excellent hook holds and none of the guys that have tested them have felt the need to sharpen the points as they are needle sharp straight from the packet.Features:
Cryogenically tempered
Durable ultra sharp needle points
Tufflon coated
Micro-barb and barbless
ESP Yellow Double Corn
Double Corn is tough, super buoyant material which does not lose buoyancy. These boilies can be ‘glugged’ in flavours for additional attraction or left un-flavoured.
Each pack contains 16 pieces - two of each size (four different sizes) and colour.
These can be used to perfectly balance a variety of pop up rigs such as Ronnie, hinged stiff or multi rigs without the need for additional putty.
Other hooks and rig variations may require the addition of tungsten putty to balance - the possibilities are endless! Also, these can be used in combination with food bait boilies to create balanced ‘snowman’ rigs or even be used for zigs.
These baits provide a serious edge on crayfish infested waters where conventional pop-ups and tungsten putty are vulnerable to the attention of crayfish.
Features:
16 per packet
Tough
Super bright
Super buoyant

ESP Ronnie Rig TrighammerNew improved Ronnie’s including the super effective Trig-Hammers.
This incredibly sharp long-shank pattern has become established as ‘the’ hook of choice for thousands of anglers when using the Ronnie rig.
The subtle, curved shank creates an aggressive angle and along with the needle sharp point, leads to exceptionally good hook holds and a formidable hooked-to-landed ratio.
These rigs also incorporate a metal bait screw, which makes pop-up attachment quick, easy and secure.
The Grip Stop is located in the optimum position on the bend and this will not slip even when extreme range casting.
The hook is attached to a Ronnie Ring Swivel which is sleeved with 1.6mm shrink tube.
Available in sizes 4 & 6 in micro barbed and barbless, three rigs per pack.

3 rigs per pack

ESP PVA Tape

Features:
No chemical residue
Quick melt

ESP Balance Beads
Designed as a very convenient alternative to tungsten putty, they provide a secure fit over the swivel knot or trapped on a short loop.
Perfect as a counterbalance on Ronnie rig booms and on the hook section of a hinge rig.
The beads need to be pierced with a splicing needle or fine bait needle then threaded onto the link and pushed over the swivel or loop knot.
Containing 75% tungsten, the Small weighs 0.3g, perfect for 12mm pop ups combined with a size 6 Ronnie. The Large weighs 0.6g for 14 – 16mm pop ups on a size 4.
Different combinations can achieve critically balanced or over-weighted presentations and the beads can also be trimmed for precision balancing.
Unlike tungsten putty, these beads are crayfish proof and provide a consistent and easily repeatable alternative to putty.
8 beads per pack.
Small or large sizes.
Weedy green, Camo brown and Silt options
ESP Quick Change SwivelThey fit perfectly into the ESP lead clips and the crook allows you to quickly change looped hooklinks.
For an efficient anti-tangle setup, quick change swivels are best used with an ESP Streamliner Rig Boom.
This also tends to push the hooklink away from the lead.
