tim_2812 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 has anyone used this this stuff yet. it looks like its going to be really good. outta the water its just like normal braid but when submerged into water it turns into like stretchy bungee rope. this means when a fish picks the hookbait up and goes off with it the triggalink springs back and sets the hook in deeper therefore giving better hookholds.

salokcinnodrog Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 I've got a Rig that does that anyway! Quote
andrewtrace Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 When i was last in tackle shop they showed me it, looks pretty effective, but pulling the hook deeper into the mouth, is that a good idea ? Doing well with fluro carbon and long hook lengths so would probably shy away from using it, plus its made by nash which puts me off Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 As you are playing a fish the hook is likely to work deeper into the Fishes Lip anyway. I think what The Triggalink is made to do is pull straight into a good hookhold;) Since I have a bungee style rig system that I can use I don't see the need to try it, plus as you say its made by Nash.

andrewtrace Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 True , but there are other makes out there i prefer to use, and i guess its all down to personal preference and opinion. Its just dont float my boat Quote
wurzey Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 ye it dont rock my boat eather but i would buy there products like there boiles and rods Quote
theeye Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 i don't get to seem what's actually wrong with nash, i find that most of there gear is top quality, but that's only one opinion Quote
courtz Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 i dont like their boilies, but the hooklink seems pretty good Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I'll stick with using as little Nash gear as I can. Just don't like the company! Quote
theeye Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I'll stick with using as little Nash gear as I can. Just don't like the company! what about those lovely nash fang hooks eh? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 The fang hooks and original brollys are about the only decent stuff produced imo:) All the newer stuff seems to have poor quality components:) Quote
ian23 Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 Nash fang uni hooks for me, all the way although im paying some interest in to the carp are us long shank nailers, any opinions on these, i love the nash fangs but they are very shiny... Quote

Carp-R-Us Nailers in both the standard and Longshank verisons are very sharp, sticky sharp. I have found that they go in and stay in. I have not lost a fish on them since I started using them. LongShanks work well for Pop-ups for me and I prefer the standard for bottom baits. If you need a strong hook in the same style have a look at the Carp-R-Us Centurions a look as well. Quote
tim_2812 Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Posted May 1, 2006 i rate nash alot and have alot of confidence in their baits especially the squid liver i also rate their luggage this is only my opinion as i know people who have had a lot of problems with nash stuff. but i am defintley going to buy some triggalink after seeing it in my local tackle shop it looks great!

carpster0 Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 Don't use much Nash gear myself now, I felt they had a time when there luggage was awefull (stac sac I had fell apart within 12months twice). Seeing them at 5 lakes this year it does look better now especially the new bivvy. I've got a spool of the new triggerlink but as yet not certain about it, but will keep having ago on onerod for a while. Nash bait. How can anyone say anything bad about Bayes gear is beyond belief. This is the one thing that is superb, and no I dont use it, to expensive for me I'll stick with CBS. Quote

carpster0 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Have you used it yet? Used it a couple of times but as yet not had a fish on it, still not certain about it myself and only feel I should use it over clear areas. This is due to it shrinking by about 30% im afraid it will pull the hook into weed strands or a twig etc. Quote
carpmandan Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Simple mate soak it for 5 mins in a bucket of water before you cast then once on the spot no shrinking takes place. Quote
carpmandan Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 If i was to use say a small amount of trigga attached to swivel on the other end tied with water knot to sink link this may hold the trigga down a bit more just a thought as i heard you cannot tie it using hair method. Would a water knot be the best not to join to hooklinks? Quote
charlieg Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Would a water knot be the best not to join to hooklinks? A back to back grinner works nicely with trigga mate for joining the two together. Quote
kevtaylor Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 I'm looking forward to testing my new trigger rigs beside a standard one to see if those riggy fish get caught out by it, I've got high hopes for it TBH. Its a bit thick and doesnt sink too well so I'm told so weighting it is necessary. You could achieve the same by making a springback boom but this seems easier and more subtle on the eye. Nash stuff cant be that bad - the rods and shelters look good to me and the squid liver baits took waters apart when it came out. How can a company fronted by one of the best all time anglers (with top consultants) be as poor as people make out? Quote
