RidgeMonkey RM-Tec Terminal Tackle Additions
RidgeMonkey hits us with a drop of terminal tackle that forms the building blocks of a successful season
With clear ambitions to rival the very biggest of the big boys, we all knew that it wouldn’t be long before RidgeMonkey added to its impressive RM-Tec terminal tackle range, and this update to the original range is nothing short of comprehensive!
Now, while there aren’t heroic, headline-stealing products here, the newest bits really are the indispensable bits that you build your end tackle around. No tackle box would be complete without a full range of swivels, of all varieties, shrink tube, anti-tangle sleeves, hookbait screws, quick-change rings, rig rings or bait stops, and in this instalment of products, RidgeMonkey has catered for that need.
What’s more, the team, led by product development guru Max Cottis and leading carp angler, Dave Levy, has tweaked these everyday terminal bits to their taste, moving things forward as ever! The team focused on increasing the user-friendliness of these staple carp fishing items, and, in most cases, they succeeded in making our lives that bit easier.
We’d highlight the levelled arm on the quick-change swivels as a particular triumph. In one fell swoop they made quick-change swivels not only safer, but easier to use and more effective. If we had to pick just two items from the range that we really loved though, it’d be these two…
Quick Change Swivel
Finished in super-slick, low-vis PTFE coating, these swivels spin extremely well, they’re tough and reliable, and they’re that little bit better than most others on the market too, thanks to that levelled arm that we talked about. We love the fact that this arm design will make it much harder for you to split your anti-tangle sleeves, making us all a bit more efficient and less wasteful!
Boilie Hair Extenders
So Hair Extenders have been about for a few years now, but we still don’t see them used as much as they deserve! What we love about these RM-Tec versions is the colours that they’re available in. Because they’re available in Clear, Fluoro-Yellow, Washed-Out Pink and Natural Beige, you can choose whether to match your stops to the baits, or add that little fleck of colour!
