Stiff rigs and combi rigs that incorporate some semi-stiff monofilament have an excellent track record for catching big carp all over the world. Incorporating the correct rigidity in the hooklink stops the hookbait landing in a crumpled heap on the lead, helps improve the anti-ejection properties of the hooking arrangement and avoids tangles. Materials used historically have varied enormously, from memory-free leaders through to heavy breaking strain fluorocarbon, but all have been a compromise between subtlety and the right balance of rigidity. Gardner Trick-Link is a low memory monofilament hooklink material developed as a boom and stiff link material, balancing rigidity with enough flexibility to let the rig settle just right. It comes in a camouflaged "Choddy" grey/green colour that blends in with the bottom of a wide range of aquatic environments, including gravel, clay and sand pits, lakes, canals and rivers. It has superb knot strength, ties up neatly and steams well. For forming loops, either Figure of 8 loop knots or the improved Non-Slip loop knot are recommended, to form the neatest round loop and for maximum strength with Gardner Trick-Link. Incorporating a looped attachment at the swivel end ensures the hook can twist and take hold more effectively with any stiff hooklink presentation. Trick-Link is available in 2 diameters and breaking strains: - 20lb (9.1kg), 0.45mm, 50m - 25lb (11.3kg), 0.50mm, 50m
