Fast-sinking, heavy, braided hooklinks are favoured by many big fish anglers ‘in the know’ because it will naturally settle flush to the lake or river bed. By combining this with an excellent camouflage colour, we have created a very special hooklink that has proven hugely successful during development and immensely popular with some of our field testers.
Now also available in a 30lb version.
Flat Lying
It is superbly strong, using ultra-reliable Dyneema for a fine diameter and superb knot strength, with a smooth finish and soft, supple feel. This flexibility not only ensures unrestricted free movement of the bait at the critical moment that the carp inhales the hook bait into its mouth, but also helps it lay down tidily, out of the way where it is less likely to be noticed by one of these tricky-to-catch, cautious feeding fish.
Trickster Heavy excels as an alternative to the skinned style hook links that the carp see very regularly on the lake bed, and comes into its own when used for solid PVA bagging, presenting a critically balanced bait over light weed, or for super subtle bottom bait presentations.
Top Tip – try a short Trickster Heavy hooklink when fishing particles, as you can go short without impairing the hook bait’s movement.

‘The Bagging Rig’ step by step guide:
- What you need…
- 1 – Place hookbait in the corner of the bag.
- 2 – Cover with half an inch of mix, position lead and cover with more mix.
- 3 – Keep tapping the bag so the mix settles (add PVA friendly liquids now).
- 4 – If you use a dry mix prick the PVA bag to allow air out.
- 5 – When the bag is compressed twist the top and secure with PVA tape or string.
- 6 – Trim off the excess tape.
- 7 – Compact PVA bag mix and fold back the corners to create a streamlined shape.
- 8 – The bottom of the PVA bag should look a little like this, and it should be filled tightly.
- 9 – Once the excess around the top has been trimmed…
- 10 – …the remaining PVA can be licked and stuck down around the tail rubber.
