ESP Cryogen Trig-Hammer, A new long shank pattern that has proved outstanding during field testing. Ultra-sharp, long fine needle points combined with an aggressive shape that achieves incredibly secure hook holds. Especially affective on Ronnies and also bottom bait rigs where it flips and pricks instantly. Available in barbed and barbless in sizes 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8.
Designed for any rig that incorporates a sliding ring on the hook shank, ESP Shank Stops are housed on a handy frame that can be stored neatly in the tackle box. No more problems trying to extract a tiny stop from a flip top box! The frame contains 40 stops, 20 of each mini and small. The mini stops are perfect for hook sizes 8 and 10 whilst the small are best suited to larger hooks.
These high-quality pink pop ups have been carefully produced to perfectly complement our Live System Boilies and other products in the Live System Boilie Range.
Cool Bag ESP Cool Bags come in three sizes and are perfect for storing bait and food for those longer sessions on the bank. Features: ◾Heavy duty zips ◾900D PVC back nylon material ◾Excellent insulation properties ◾Tough foil lining ◾Adjustable padded shoulder strap and carry handles ◾Large external zipped pocket
This legendary hook pattern has been further refined and improved to make it the go-to hook for hinged stiff rig and chod rig presentations. Compared with its predecessor the Mk-2, the super sharp point is longer and finer and more inclined towards the shank for a stronger shape. The point is also in-line with the 13 degrees out-turned eye so all the force is straight along the point section of the hook, rather than across the gape making them incredibly strong.
Expertly tied to super sharp ESP Curve-Shanx hooks and buoyant enough to support a long mono hook link, the black foam body acts as a silhouette, replicating a bug perfectly and acting as a lure to carp feeding aggressively on fly hatches. The four bugs have different coloured bellies pearl, red, green and yellow which add a visual flash of colour for added attraction.
Get ready for a fiery blast of hot, spicy carp catching magic that turns any hookbait into a fireball of attraction. A hot blend of spices that come together to create a flavour you know carp love but can’t quite put your finger on…
Mainline’s Supa Sweet Ziggers are perfectly shaped, ultra-buoyant hookbaits, which as they’re name suggests have been designed as the perfect Zig Rig hookbait. Ideally suited to targeting fish active within any layer of the water column.
We all know some days one colour of hookbait gets you all your bites and the on another day it’s a different colour. Have you ever wondered why that is? Each pot of Tones contains a washed-out version and a more ‘solid’ coloured version of each hookbait giving the angler two different tones of the same hookbait. This enables them to subtly change only the visibility of their hookbait as light levels vary and affect how sight-feeding fish respond to colours & tones in your swim. As with our Elite Range of Pop Ups they have replaced, each hookbait in the Tones range contains a complex blend of highly soluble fish-attracting esters, additives and essential oils which together trigger an instant investigatory response from fish through intensively stimulating their chemical, taste and aroma ‘receptors’.

CC Moore Pro-Stim Liver Air Ball Pop Ups 15mm, a truly innovative and nutrient-rich bait with an intense smoked garlic sausage profile. Developed over the course of 4 years with rigorous field testing by CC Moore consultants across the UK and Europe. Designed as a bait that can be used throughout the year with highly digestible proteins and water-soluble attractants.
These are very buoyant, durable, air ball pop ups made with Pro-Stim Liver Base Mix to ensure they colour and aroma-match our Pro-Stim Liver boilies and other products in our successful Pro-Stim Liver Range. They have a tough, nuisance fish-proof skin but are pliable enough to be trimmed to achieve the desired buoyancy for optimum rig performance.
ESP Big Buoyant Fluoro Sweetcorn, Now available in mixed bright fluoro colours Pink & White, Orange & Red and Green & Yellow to complement the original yellow, ESP Sweetcorn is available in two different size groups, Buoyant and Big Buoyant. The Buoyant corn has a very generous 16 grains in the packet (6 large, 6 medium, 2 small and 2 mini) plus two strips of complementary mini ESP hair stops. An innovative feature is the hair stop recess on selected grains which accepts the mini hair stop. Some of the grains have the recess on the end whilst others have the recess on the side to suit various presentations. This recess makes the hair stop sit almost flush with the surface of the corn which not only looks very neat but is also a real help when fishing waters where cray fish are present, it makes it much more difficult for them to steal the bait! There are also grains with no hair stop recess at all. The Big Buoyant corn has 18 (yes18!) grains squeezed into the packet (6 giant, 6 extra large and 6 large) plus two strips of complementary small ESP hair stops. Like on the smaller sizes, selected grains feature a hair stop recess on the side or on the end to allow for lengthways or sideways presentation, whilst other grains have no recess. ESP sweetcorn is perfect for a wide variety of presentations from balancing or tipping boilies or nuts, to creating the perfect pop up. The larger sizes are also ideal for zig rigs. The vibrant fluoro colours provide excellent visual attraction and the colours can be mixed up or changed to suit varying conditions and feeding habits. Vibrant coloured hook baits are especially effective in the spring and winter where there bright visual attraction acts almost like a lure does for pike or perch, where a more conventional bait might not trigger a response.
