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 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 Camo Sink Link HooklinkTightly woven with a silky smooth feel and featuring alternating tones of colour which act to break up the outline of the hook link making it really inconspicuous, this provides a definite edge when fishing for pressured, rig shy carp in clear water. Although Dyneema based for maximum strength, the special combination of interwoven fibres makes this braid sink heavily and its suppleness ensures it hugs the contours of the lake bed. Perfect for a variety of presentations such as stiff/soft or reverse combi rigs when used in conjunction with a stiffer material such as Ghost fluorocarbon or for simple braided bottom bait rigs, especially on waters where stiffer materials may be treated with suspicion or for stalking at close quarters.  Available in two colour ranges, camo green which blends in perfectly over weed and camo brown which is virtually invisible over gravel.Features: 10m spool Silky smooth Dyneema based for maximum strength Special combination of interwoven fibres makes this braid sink 15lb, 20lb, & 25lb

ESP Ronnie Clip The hooklink boom is commonly tied using either coated braid like Tungsten Loaded or fluorocarbon like Soft Ghost. The tungsten sleeve serves two important functions - it secures the rig on the clip and is also the counterbalance for the pop up. Available 0.3g and 0.6g that can be tailored to different sized hooks and hookbaits to create perfectly balanced pop up presentations. As a rough guide the 0.3g for smaller 12-14mm pop ups and the 0.6g for 15-16mm. Tied to the end of the hooklink boom, these clips are small and neat yet extremely strong and provide a quick change facility for Ronnie and Hinge rigs (perfect used in conjunction with the ready-made ESP Ronnie and Chod rigs). Available in weedy green, camo brown and silt grey with 8 clips and 8 sleeves per packet. Available in: Silt Grey Weedy Green Camo Brown Small or Large

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. Features: 10 per packet Strong Smooth Matt black finish Allow you to quickly change looped hooklinks Size 9

ESP Super Floss 50m Pop-ups which have been pierced and threaded onto a hair rig are more likely to absorb water and lose buoyancy. Super Floss has a wide, flat profile which grips the pop-up securely without cutting in, even when the bait has swollen slightly. The pop-up can then be tied to a rig ring with 3 or 4 overturn knots. Rather than using super glue leave about 1cm tails at the end of the floss, then using a lighter burn back the ends to form small hard blobs, giving total security.Features: 50m Wide flat profile Grips pop-up securely

ESP Cryogen Classic Hook The Classic features a longer, finer straight point which is slightly more inclined towards the shank. This fine ultra-sharp point combined with the slick PTFE Tufflon coating and micro barb ensures excellent hook holds. The 13-degree in-turned eye provides excellent anti-eject properties and is a highly versatile pattern for a wide range of presentations.   Over three years of development and the last two years spent thoroughly field testing prototype samples has culminated in the launch of a new range of hooks that we believe sets a new standard in strength and point durability.   New manufacturing techniques including both high temperature and cryogenic tempering have produced significantly stronger hooks with more durable, long life points. Cryogenic tempering is a process used to improve the molecular structure of steel which in turn reduces stress and improves strength and wear resistance. It is used in many disciplines with Formula 1 engine parts being a classic example.   Bench tests on initial samples proved to us that the new tempering processes combined with improved designs and heavy forging resulted in hooks that were 25-30% stronger than other Tufflon coated carp hooks in the same wire gauge. So rather than having to improve strength by simply increasing wire gauge, new manufacturing processes have allowed us to maintain optimum wire gauges for each size which allow for fine, ultra-sharp needle points which are now more durable than ever.   Over an exhaustive two-year field testing period where the hooks were used by around 15 independent specialist carp anglers plus ESP consultants Terry Hearn, Kev Hewitt and Martin Bowler, feedback has been wholly positive from everyone. In fact, we have barely heard of a point turning over let alone a hook gaping out! Over those two years, a serious amount of big carp have been caught on the new hooks from a wide variety of waters and every angler who has used them came back wanting more! Features: Three years of development Cryogenically tempered Incredibly strong Durable ultra sharp needle points Tufflon coated Straight point inclined towards the shank 13-degree in-turned eye Excellent anti-eject properties Highly versatile pattern
