August New Product Launch - Three New Innovations Designed to Improve Your Fishing
We continue to expand our range of innovative tackle with three new additions designed to give anglers greater precision, versatility and confidence on the bank. The new Kaizen Barbed Hooks, Squared Super Tight Line Stops and PVA Micro Mesh Refill build on proven designs, providing reliable solutions for modern fishing, from natural-water hook patterns and precision rig components to highly effective PVA presentations.
Kaizen Barbed Hooks – Spade & Eyed
The hugely popular Kaizen hook pattern has already established itself as a trusted choice among anglers, and now our range expands with the new Kaizen Barbed.
Developed for anglers fishing natural waters where a barbed hook is preferred, it retains the proven shape and hooking efficiency of the original Kaizen pattern while providing added security when targeting larger fish.
It is an ideal barbed fishing hook for natural waters, particularly when targeting bream, skimmers, tench and carp.
Spade & Eyed Options
The Kaizen Barbed is available in both spade and eyed versions, offering versatility across a wide range of fishing styles and rig applications.
The spade end pattern is ideally suited to pole fishing and traditional feeder fishing, providing a dependable hook for direct bait presentation and strong, secure hook holds.
The eyed version is perfect for hair-rigging baits, including worms, maggots, and wafters, making it an excellent choice when targeting bigger natural-water species.
High-Performance PTFE Coating
A key feature of the Kaizen Barbed is its high-performance PTFE coating, designed to help the hook point remain razor sharp for longer.
This improves point durability and penetration, maximising hooking efficiency and helping anglers convert more bites into hooked fish and more fish in the net.
Offset Point for Added Security
The Kaizen Barbed also features an offset point, designed to provide an ultimate hook hold and reduce the chance of hook pulls during the fight.
When targeting hard-fighting fish, this added security can make a significant difference, helping anglers maintain a strong hook hold and convert more bites into landed fish.
Available Sizes
The Kaizen Barbed is available in sizes 20 to 10, with both spade and eyed patterns available.
This flexibility lets you choose the ideal hook for a wide variety of baits, fishing methods, and target species.
Squared Super Tight Line Stops
The Squared Super Tight Line Stops bring further refinement and versatility to modern rig construction, building on the success of our original Super Tight Line Stops.
Already trusted across fishing styles including pellet waggler, traditional waggler and feeder fishing, the new design retains the proven performance while introducing a distinctive squared profile.
A Cleaner, More Precise Profile
The square profile creates a neater and more controlled stop arrangement on the line.
When multiple stops are used together, the flat edges sit neatly against one another to produce a clean, totally straight presentation.
This improved alignment gives anglers greater confidence in their rig mechanics, particularly when precision and presentation are critical.
Three Sizes for Maximum Versatility
Available in the same proven range as the original, the Squared Super Tight Line Stops come in Small, Medium and Large.
They offer the same dependable grip and versatility, with an enhanced profile for even more rig applications.
The standard black finish provides a subtle, understated appearance, helping keep terminal tackle as discreet as possible.
New White & Orange Options for Jigga Fishing
We have also introduced White and Orange Squared Super Tight Line Stops, developed specifically for Jigga fishing, where a highly visible stop is essential for optimum rig performance.
These brighter colours provide a better visual reference without compromising the stop's compact, refined design.
PVA Micro Mesh Refill 5m
Completing the launch is the Tackle Guru PVA Micro Mesh Refill 5m, designed for use with the Guru PVA Speed System and offering a quick, efficient way to create perfectly presented PVA bags.
The new and improved PVA Micro Mesh features a tighter weave, making it particularly well suited to smaller particles, including micro pellets and small, high-oil pellets.
The finer mesh keeps your chosen bait securely contained while still allowing excellent water penetration and presentation.
Super-Fast PVA Breakdown
The Micro Mesh features a super-fast breakdown, quickly dissolving once it enters the water and releasing your chosen bait directly next to your hookbait.
This creates an effective and precise bait presentation, while the tighter weave makes it particularly useful when fishing with smaller particles.
The Micro Mesh remains suitable for both small and larger particles, providing a versatile PVA solution for a wide range of fishing situations.
Designed for the Guru PVA Speed System
Specifically designed for use with the Guru PVA Speed System, the Micro Mesh is quick and easy to load and use.
Supplied as a practical 5-metre refill, it provides a convenient way to replenish your system and continue creating consistent PVA bags throughout a session.
Whether fishing with micro pellets, small high-oil pellets or larger particles, the Micro Mesh provides reliable bait containment, excellent presentation and rapid breakdown.
Precision Across Every Part of Your Tackle
These three new products may perform different roles on the bank, but they share the same philosophy: refining the details that can make a difference to your fishing.
From the secure hook hold and durable point of the Kaizen Barbed, to the precise alignment of the Squared Super Tight Line Stops and controlled bait release of the PVA Micro Mesh, each product has been developed around a specific requirement.
Whether you’re building a natural-water feeder rig, setting up for pole or waggler fishing, or creating a precise PVA bag, these latest additions provide more options for building reliable and effective tackle setups.
The Kaizen Barbed Hooks, Squared Super Tight Line Stops and PVA Micro Mesh Refill 5m continue our focus on practical innovation, precise presentation and tackle designed around the needs of modern anglers.
