New Products – Atomic Stiffun & Bombz Away Lead Clip

admin — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 11:26:02 +0000

A couple of new bits from Atomic Tackle this time. The Atomic Stiffun is a stiff coated comb-link hooklink material. It has a transluscent, matt finish stiff outer coating and a dual colour camouflage inner braid which will blend in with most lakebeds. I have tried this myself, when steamed it really does go stiff!!! For more information or to purchase please click on the above link. The Atomic Bombz Away Lead Clip is a new lead system that does not rely on a moulded arm to hold the lead. The metal clip which secures the lead is independent of the lead clip body and runs along a track inside the main body. The Bombz Away Lead Clip allows you to drop the lead if the fish becomes snagged but eliminates the problem of the lead sometimes jettisoning on the cast. For more information or to purchase please click on the above link.

The Korda Kontour Fluorocarbon Mainline has been in developement for three years. It sinks like a brick, has high abrasion resistance and casts exceptionally well. Kontour is very soft in comparison to other fluorocarbon mainlines making it very user friendly. Due to its true knot strength, Kontour will be strong and reliable. The Korda Solidz PVA Bags are manufactured at Korda to stringent specifications using the highest film available. The Solidz PVA Bags have a virtually neutral PH, melt rapidly are extremely robust and come with a Free Bag Loader. There is zero residue when the Solidz melt and they are completely aroma free.

The Skywinder is designed as a boilie rocket or to deliver maggots at range. For more information or to purchase any of the above please click on the links.

For those of you that use sticks the Bloodworm Bag & Stick Mix contains much higher levels of the soluble ingredients than can be used in the boilies themselves resulting in really high levels of attraction around your hookbait. To increase that attraction even further soak your hookbaits in the Bloodworm Bait Glug which contains a potent fish protein extract, Paprika oleoresin and not forgetting hydrolised bloodworm. The Bloodworm Bait Glug is really thick and Sticky! If you are using the dumbells or boilie bottom baits, the Bloodworm Paste, which also contains higher levels of the soluble ingredients than the boilies, will boost your hookbaits attraction even further. It could also be a great stalking hookbait in its own right. Finally we have the Sticky Baits Bloodworm Pellets which are one of the best selling specialist pellet of all time. The bloodworm content has been increased and the Hydrolysed Bloodworm Compound has now been added making this pellet even more potent.

A word now on some new baits now in stock. The new Richworth XLR8 Freezer Boilies were developed from an original recipe from Steve Renyard which was a proven big carp catcher in the early 90’s. Steve has now tweaked it with some new ingredients and is 110% confident with it. They are a nice dark brown colour so they won’t spook wary carp. The XLR8 has a sausage/pepperami type smell and looks to be a real winner.We also have the Xlr8 Pop Ups and XLR8 Impact Boilie Dips in stock.
