The threaded collar is designed to blend perfectly with ESP Buzz bars (available separately).
ESP Uni-Link Swivel
Standard Uni-Link Swivels provide a universal hinge and 360-degree movement to otherwise rigid hook links and are ideal for stiff mono rigs and Combi Rigs in coated braid.
These Standard Uni-Link Swivels also improve the presentation of lighter, more flexible mono and soft braided hook links, effectively reducing tangles on the cast.
They come in packets of 10 and are available in sizes 9, 10 and 11 to fit all popular safety clips and in line leads. Features:
10 per packet
Ultra smooth
Matt black finish
No rough edges
Fit all the popular safety clips and in-line leads
ESP Leadcore Stop Beads
The frame contains 20 beads, 10 with a large bore and 10 with a small bore with a central membrane.
The large bore bead is a perfect interference fit over the 0.5mm silicone tube supplied with the beads.
This is designed to be fished as the upper bead on the leadcore leader, so that in the event of a break off the bead can easily pop off the silicone tube under minimal pressure, and slide over the leader knot, allowing a hooked fish to rid itself of the leader. The small bore bead has a central membrane which can be pierced with a splicing needle and threaded onto the leader.
This provides a snug interference fit directly on the leadcore, which will slide down under minimal pressure.
Perfect for fishing ‘semi fixed’ chod rigs up the leader or for preventing the hook on a chod rig from coming into contact with the lead by setting the bead three or four inches up the leader. These beads allow for really neat versatile and safe setups and are available in three colours, weedy green, camo brown and choddy silt to complement the different colour blends of ESP leadcore.
A superb little product which will be a useful addition to the tackle box of leadcore fans. Features:
20 beads, 10 with a large bore and 10 with a small bore
Interference fit directly on the leadcore
Section of 0.5mm silicone tubing

ESP Leadcore Bulk Spool 45lb

Spliced joints are much stronger than any knot and have the additional advantage of being extremely neat and streamlined.

These needles also make a great bait needle for small baits such as sweetcorn or soft 10mm boilies.

Three per packet
Ultra-fine
Stainless steel

ESP Chod Rig Sleeves
The flexible silicone tube is mounted onto a soft sleeve which houses the lead retaining clip and provides a neat, streamlined system.
You might wonder why this component is comprised of two parts, rather than being moulded as one piece.
Well, the thermoplastic rubber used to mould the clip link retaining sleeve is malleable yet tough and is perfect for sleeving the clip link yet does not have the soft flexibility and inherent ‘spring’ of good old silicone tube so ESP have combined the two materials to create the perfect shock absorber buffer sleeve for chod rig work.
The silicone tube can be shortened if required, as can the clip retaining sleeve if the leader is tied directly to the lead loop.Features:
6 per packet
Soft, flexible silicone sleeve acts as a buffer
Prevents the hook from coming into contact with the lead
ESP Wrap Sticks
Made in ESP’s own Oxford factory to exacting standards using high-grade 8mm diameter stainless steel, the pair of 46cm long wrap sticks are accompanied by three short ‘spot markers’ for precise distance mapping and help the angler to get the rod clipped up on the exact spot each cast.
Each of the spot markers is numerically engraved to indicate rod 1, 2 & 3.
The sticks and spot markers are tipped with acrylic domed tops for easy visibility. The sticks incorporate line friendly retention grooves which prevent the line from slipping on the sticks and in the case of braid, help prevent any potential tangles.
The sticks and spot marker are supplied in a handy durable sleeve for easy storage.
Features:
Stainless steel
Heavy-duty fabric sleeve
Three critical distance spot markers with engraved numbers
Dayglow acrylic caps
ESP Gizmo Rig ToolIts tapered shape provides three grooves for shaping different sized loops in stiff hooklink materials and coated braid.
The thin tapered point is perfect for shaping D’s on chod rigs etc.
A countersunk hole through the tool can be used for holding a hook when tightening knots and the mushroom-shaped top holds the ring of a Un-Link Swivels to test knots and tension rigs.
Ergonomic and tackle box friendly.
Featured:
High quality stainless steel
Plenty of grooves and gaps for a variety of rig purposes

ESP Quick Change Uni-LinksOn Chod Rigs, in particular, the swivel’s ability to spin round and help the hook catch hold in the carp’s mouth is of critical importance.
These can also be used to improve braided or lighter mono hooklinks, reducing tangles and ensuring that rigs lie flat on the bottom.Features:
5 per packet
Ultra smooth
Pearl black metalised finish
No rough edges
Fits all the popular safety clips and in-line leads
ESP Streamliner Rig Booms
Streamliner Rig Booms have three prime functions.
To mask and protect the knot, to act as a stiff boom to prevent tangles and to help lay the hooklink out away from the lead.
Unlike other anti-tangle sleeves which tend to float up off the bottom at an angle, these are moulded in a heavy polymer which lays flat, minimumising the need for tungsten putty.Features:
25 per packet
Camouflaged translucent colours
Streamlined shape
Durable
