Anchor Braid

Description

The soft feel of Anchor Braid ensures it follows the contours of the lake bed and the weight of the fibres ensures it sinks heavily without the need for tungsten putty. The smooth tightly woven structure makes it easy to work with when threading through hook eyes etc and the round profile resists tangling. A dark, muted blend of coloured fibres provide excellent camouflage and Anchor braid blends in over a variety of substrates making it really inconspicuous and a definite edge when fishing for pressured, rig shy carp in clear water. Perfect for any rig that requires a soft braided hook link, from short rigs for PVA bags and method feeders, to combining it with fluorocarbon for a stiff/supple combi-rig. For optimum knot strength, we recommend a twice through the eye five turn grinner.

Field Notes

Use Anchor Braid as a soft braided hook link for carp rigs, especially when you want the line to follow lakebed contours and sink heavily without added putty. It’s also suited to combi-rigs (braid with fluorocarbon) when you need a stiffer/supple presentation while keeping the hook link inconspicuous in clear water.

Pros

  • Soft feel that follows lakebed contours
  • Sinks heavily without tungsten putty
  • Smooth, tightly woven and easy to thread through hook eyes
  • Round profile helps resist tangling
  • Camouflage blend for pressured, rig-shy carp

Cons

  • Not intended as a mainline (hook-link use)
  • Best results depend on clear-water/low-visibility conditions
