Description

Tungsten Loaded is a tough, matt camo coated hooklink range designed for ultimate performance and versatility. The dense tungsten coating sinks without the addition of putty, providing superb abrasion resistance and excellent camouflage in any lakebed environment. It strips easily without fracturing on knots, straightens neatly off the spool (or can be steamed if preferred), and is resilient and reliable in all conditions. At its core is an ultra-strong Dyneema braid with an achievable knot strength of over 30lb, ensuring dependable performance and confidence when playing powerful fish. Available in three versions to cover every presentation need: Soft: Perfect for subtle presentations with small boilies, nuts, and balanced or buoyant baits. The supple coating and core allow the rig to settle naturally while still pushing the hookbait away from the lead for excellent presentation. Semi-Stiff: The ideal all-round coated hooklink. Stiff enough to provide optimum rig efficiency and tangle resistance when used with larger hooks and boilies, yet flexible enough for natural bait movement. Also makes an excellent boom for Hinge and Ronnie rigs. X-Stiff: Developed by popular demand for an even stiffer version. Featuring the same super-strong internal braid, colour range, and diameter, the X-Stiff offers extra rigidity to fully extend the hookbait away from the lead, prevent tangles, and deliver exceptional performance for distance casting and for use as a boom in Ronnie, Hinge, and stiff D rigs. Available Colours: Weedy Green, Camo Brown, and Choddy Silt Supplied on: 10m designer spools that eliminate waste and fit neatly into popular tackle boxes. Tried, tested, and perfected in conjunction with Terry Hearn .
