The Nash Siren RS-1 Receiver is the first remote receiver with a two way radio allowing you to change the settings on your alarms from the comfort of your bedchair, just like your TV remote at home. The Siren Receiver has 5 volume settings, 5 tone settings, vibration function and an anti theft alarm system. One of revolutionary features of the Nash Siren RS-1 Receiver is the  bite detection sensitvity. The Siren Bite Alarm and Receiver measure the speed of the line movement over the roller rather than the distance the line moves. This technology negates false bite indications and achieves optimum sensitivity even in the windiest of conditions. For more information or to purchase please click on the above link.

The next item is the  Nash Box Logic Bivvy Box Table  which was designed with the mobile angler in mind. The underside has a compartment to accommodate our Box Logic Medium Tackle Box (optional accessory not included). There is also a drawer with variable partitioning. Both the drawer and the tackle box fit on top of the bivvy table, converting it to a rig tying station. For more information or to purchase please click on the above link.

To tie this rig I used Nash Triggalink, Nash The Missing Link, a Nash Safety Bolt Bead Ring Swivel and a Nash Fang Gaper Hook.

Step 1.

Strip 8 inches of Missing Link and tie a small hair loop in one end.

Step 2.

Now thread your choosen bait onto the hair with a baiting needle and secure it in place with a bait stop. 

Step 3.

Pass the other end of the missing link through the back of the eye and set a gap of about 6mm between the top of the hook and the bait.

Step 4.

Whip the missing link up the shank of the hook 5-6 times…..

….Before passing the tag end through the back of the eye again.

Step 5.

Now cut 12 inches of Triggalink off the spool and hold it along side the tag end of the missing link with your hook and bait attached to.

Step 6.

While continuing to hold the two along side each other create a loop with the triggalink.

Step 7.

Take the shorter end of the Triggalink and pass it round the Missing link and through the loop created 4 times.

Step 8.

Now create a loop with the Missing link along side the Triggalink.

Step 9.

Pass the tag end of the Missing link around the Triggalink and through the loop 4 times.

Step 10.

Now moisten both knots and tighten them down gently before butting them up together. Then trim the tag ends and blob them with a lighter.

Step 11.

Pass the tag end of the Triggalink through the ring on the ring swivel.

Step 12.

Create a loop with the tag end alongside the length of Triggalink tied to the Missing link.

Step 13.

Pass the tag end around the Trigga link and through the loop 5 times.

Step 14.

Moisten the knot and tighten gently, then trim the tag end.

The rig is now complete.

The length of the Triggalink when the rig is complete measures approximately 6 1/2 inches.

Once wet the PVA in the Triggalink melts and contracts the braid. Shortening it to approximately 5 1/2 inches.

This is worth baring in mind when tying a rig with Triggalink as it will always end up shorter once wet. This rig is known as a Combi-Link Rig and can be used with either bottom or pop up hookbaits. If you wish to use a pop up, mould some tungsten putty, such as Kryston Heavy Metal Plus , around the knot in the two hooklinks.
