New Additions From Thinking Anglers
Now your Noodle Rig will be exactly the same as Scott Lloyd’s…
Thinking Anglers are one of those brands full of ideas. If you’ve ever been on the bank looking at rig choice and thought, ‘I wonder if there’s a product for…’, then chances are that TA have got you covered, and here are three new little bits from their latest release.
1. Medium and Large Noodle Kickers
If you’ve not seen Scott Lloyd’s Noodle Rig in recent years then you’ve been living under a rock. It’s a great presentation, but finessing shrink tubing into the perfect bend, just how Scott likes it, can be tricky—so step forward these ready-formed Kickers. They’re ideal for getting this clever rig tied perfectly every time. £3.99
2. Curved Kickers
While the Noodle Kickers kink out at the end of a largely straight section, these kickers are far more curvaceous. That sweeping bend creates aggressive hooking mechanics but, because these are made from soft rubber, there are no dangers associated with the old-fashioned bent-hook rigs of years gone by. They are available in packs of 10. £3.99
Scott Lloyd’s Noodle Rig Trick
1. The Hair is always trapped with a small rig ring (blowback style) that’s positioned to sit at the end of the hook shank, just where it starts to curve into the bend.
2. Position rig putty or a Tungsten Dropper onto the hooklink, close to the end of the Noodle Kicker.
3. These new Noodle Kickers have been designed to work best with the TA Curved Point hook pattern.
3. Camfleck Cloth Tape
Thinking Anglers’ Camfleck pattern is one of the finest camos around and adorns a number of luggage items from the company. But if you want to indulge in a bit of DIY camo covering then this sticky and durable tape, made from 100 percent cotton, is ideal for layering over water containers, storm poles and even rod butts. Available in 50mm x 10m spools. £7.99
