NASH Blow Back Mounting Tube

Product benefits

The Nash Blow Back Tube is a carp mounting tube specifically developed to optimise the performance of blow back rigs. Thanks to its thoughtful design, it guides the hook shank and the rig loop in a controlled way while allowing the necessary freedom of movement for a natural bait presentation. This tube is a valuable ally for carp anglers seeking effective, reliable and repeatable rigs.

Supplied in pre-cut sections, this ready-to-use mounting tube saves time at the waterside and ensures a consistent length from one hooklink to another. Its durable, hard-wearing material withstands repeated casts, powerful fights and abrasion against obstacles without cracking or deforming easily. Thanks to its controlled grip, it stays firmly in place on the hook and hooklink while allowing the sliding action required for the blow back rig to work correctly.

Technical specifications

• Specialised mounting tube for making blow back rigs intended for carp fishing.
• Pre-cut tube sections for quick rigging and consistent length across all hooklinks.
• Durable, hard-wearing material designed to withstand the demands of intensive fishing and repeated fights.
• Controlled grip on the hook shank and hooklink to hold the tube in place without completely restricting movement.
• Designed to work with modern hooklink materials (nylon, fluorocarbon, braid with sleeve, etc.).
• Profile engineered to aid hook rotation and promote fast, secure hook-ups.
• Discreet finish to reduce fish suspicion and blend naturally into the rig.
• Compatible accessory with a wide range of carp hooks commonly used on blow back rigs.

Engineered to integrate into technical carp rigs, this tube strikes an excellent balance between flexibility and rigidity. It is rigid enough to maintain rig shape during casts and descent to the lakebed, while remaining supple enough to follow the mouth movement during bait uptake and rejection. This balance directly contributes to the self-hooking mechanics characteristic of blow back rigs.

Advantages and key strengths

Using the Nash Blow Back Tube brings many benefits for demanding carp anglers. First, it improves the stability and consistency of presentation: the bait stays at the correct distance from the hook, promoting a clean, solid hook-up. The tube accompanies the blow back loop movement without shifting uncontrollably, reducing the risk of drops during suction and rejection phases.

Another major advantage is the reduction of tangles. By guiding the hooklink close to the hook, this hooklink tube helps keep the assembly compact and tidy during the cast. The rig lands more often in a fishable position on the bottom, allowing you to make the most of every bait placement.

Finally, this tube is a good choice for standardising your rigs: by always using the same length of pre-cut tube, you obtain identical, easy-to-reproduce rigs. This allows you to compare the effectiveness of your presentations objectively and build confidence in your rigging system, a key point for long-term success.

Usage instructions

To get the best from this carp rig accessory, start by selecting the hook suited to the blow back rig you want to make. Pass the hooklink through the tube section, then bring it out where the blow back loop is intended. Form the loop or ring that will serve as the bait attachment point, taking care to keep a consistent distance between the bait and the hook bend.

Position the tube along the hook shank, leaving the blow back loop free to slide. Adjust the visible tube length so it guides the hook rotation correctly while preserving bait mobility. Tighten your knots carefully and test the rig in a bucket or at the water’s edge: when pulling the bait, the hook should flip quickly and point downwards to pierce the fish's lower lip.

This blow back tube can be combined with most modern hooklink materials. Feel free to adapt your hooklink stiffness and hook size based on fishing conditions while keeping the same tube usage logic. By adjusting these parameters you can fine-tune your rig’s reaction against wary carp.

FAQ

Question 1: Is this tube only suitable for blow back rigs?

Answer: It is optimised for blow back rigs, but can also be used on other carp rigs that require guidance of the hook shank and controlled bait mobility.

Question 2: Is this product suitable for all types of hooklink?

Answer: The tube is compatible with most hooklink materials used in carp fishing. Just choose a diameter and rig configuration consistent with your style of fishing and the water type.

Question 3: Do I need to cut the tube sections myself?

Answer: The sections are pre-cut to simplify hooklink preparation and ensure consistent lengths across your rigs.
