A braided rig offers a slightly subtler presentation that will fool fish that may be suspicious of stiff hooklinks or are feeding by sifting through the sediment on the lake or river bed.
Supple hooklinks tend to concertina slightly as they settle onto the lake bed and therefore allow the hookbait to move unhindered when it is sucked up by a browsing fish.
- The well established Talon Tip hook is excellent for fishing any bottom bait over gravel as the in-turned point reduces the likelihood of the point being damaged before the fish picks up your bait.
- Tied with a quality 15lb braided hooklink – Trickster Heavy, that is suitable for a multitude of applications and enables the most natural presentation thanks to its super supple feel.
- Always reliable and easy to use, our ready tied rigs are the convenient way to ensure ultimate presentation.
- Available in Size 4, Size 6, Size 8, Barbed or Barbless.
Tip – for best results, always balance the size of the hook and hookbait. A size 8 hook is generally accepted as the ideal size for use with boiled baits between 14 and 16mm, adjusting hook sizes up and down from this base line accordingly.
The Mugga Rig Multi Pack contains 3 ready made Mugga Rigs. The stiffer Sly Skin material kicks out balanced hookbaits helping consistent rig presentation. Available in single colour trade packs. Covert Mugga hook with 15lb Sly Skin

Gardner Ronnie Rig
Gardner Ronnie Rig
Each pack of ready made Ronnie Rigs includes three perfectly constructed ‘hook sections’ that have been constructed to exacting standards here in the UK and their launch now makes this rig available to everyone!
These Ronnie Rigs use our exquisitely sharp size 4 and size 6 Covert Dark Mugga hooks attached to the new dedicated XT Flexi-Ring Kwik Lok Swivel. Essentially, the combination of the Mugga hook’s in-turned eye, swept shank and amazing razor sharp point is particularly effective in getting the most out of these rigs, as it creates a fast and aggressive reacting hooking mechanism that takes a firm hook hold. Each end section features a mat finished sliding Covert Hook Swivel, held in position with a Covert Hook Stop.
he Covert Dark Wide Gape Talon Tip is the latest incarnation in a long line of ‘Talon Tip’ beaked point hooks; with the latest version being given the full Covert Dark upgrade starting with the all important beaked point itself.
We have changed the shape and length of the Wide Gape Talon Tip’s point; so it is now a lovely sweeping curve that’s longer, slimmer and much sharper than before. These new longer points are a major improvement that ensures the hook pricks even quicker and penetrates easier.
Gardner Covert Dark Mugga Hook
Firstly, we have totally re-specified the shape and length of the Mugga’s point so they are longer and much sharper than before. The new long tapered points are a massive step up and ensure the hook pricks and penetrates even quicker.
Next, we have swapped over to the new stripped down Covert Dark plating. This new finish still offers excellent camouflage thanks to the matt finish, and also ensures that we keep the sharpest possible point on the hook as it is a single electroplated finish and the reduction in handling during the finishing process means the points remain immaculate and razor sharp

Gardner Point Doctor 2
The Gardner Point Doctor 2 has an elevated abrasive content and slightly stiffer rubberised compound.
The Gardner Point Doctors are simple to use hook sharpeners that are perfect for keeping your hook points sticky sharp.
Just like the original Point Dr, the Point Doctor 2 is simple to use and perfect for keeping your hook points sticky sharp. A sharper point will prick, hook and penetrate faster and deeper and this will inevitably mean you hook and land more fish!
The Point Dr.2’s unique abrasive rubber compound (red) is still forgiving enough that you can easily avoid applying too much pressure to the point, turning it over and ruining the hook.
