Gardner Ultra Skin Hooklink

Hooklink Description

The Gardner Ultra Skin is a super soft, supple and ‘skinned’ braided hooklink material. The 25lb version is the all rounder for the carp specialist. It retains a low profile whilst the extra strength doesn’t mean a significant jump up in finished diameter, and at 0.55mm it is still amazingly thin for a 25lb skinned hooklink!

 If you’re fishing for big carp on a big water, near snags or pads, you’ll need a hooklink to rely on and this is it. Skinned hooklinks have been widely available for many years now, Ultra Skin now offers significant improvements in terms of feel, colour, finish and ease of use. 

As anglers we realise that most soft hooklinks need pinning down (because the hook bait tends to drop nearer the lead than the length of the hooklink) and a blob of Critical Mass tungsten putty half way along the hooklink really makes a difference to your final presentation.

The unique polymer mix used in the skin means that Ultra Skin straightens easily*, even just using your fingertips. Keeping your hooklinks straight is important, as it improves the manner in which the rig settles and helps to alleviate tangles.
