Taska Hair Stops
Total Carp Staff  |  Dec 18, 2012  |  0 comments
Okay, hair stops are hair stops, right? Well, yes, but these are decent versions, well shaped to fit neatly into your baits (if that sort of thing matters to you) and they are available in a plethora of colours. I like to use a fluoro orange or yellow to add a flash of colour to my otherwise dull New Grange hook baits. Here’s the best bit, there are a whopping 212 stops in every pack! Taska also produces an extended version. Marc CoulsonRRP: £1.

Fox Arma Point Xsc Hooks
Total Carp Staff  |  Dec 18, 2012  |  0 comments
I’ve long been a fan of the Arma Points, with their sharp points that seem exceptionally durable, dull coating and comprehensive range.

They can be used with or without shrink tubing, or similar, to create just about any rig you want.

The rubberised finish grips the rod nicely, while still protecting it. The retaining arms can be adapted easily by unscrewing the small washers to accommodate any rod-handle type with ease. The stainless-steel body is sturdy and features a nifty locking collar for perfect alignment on the buzz bars.
