NASH Extender Hairstop Bait Stop

Product benefits

Designed for demanding carp anglers, the NASH Extender Hairstop is a discreet but decisive accessory to optimise hair-rig presentations. Thanks to its extendable design, this extendable bait stop for hair rigs lets you instantly adjust the distance between the bait and the hook without having to retie the knot or change the leader. A single rig can thus be converted in seconds from a single-bait presentation to a double combination or a snowman setup.

The principle is simple: the hair loop is placed into the Extender Hairstop, which is then positioned inside the bait. This configuration holds the hair firmly in place even when nuisance fish or species like crayfish attack the bait. By protecting the retention point inside the bait, the carp bait stop effectively reduces the risk of premature bait loss.

• Quick adjustment of hair length without remaking the rig.
• Easily switch from a single bait to a double combination or snowman presentation.
• Keeps the hair loop inside the bait for better protection.
• Compact and lightweight accessory, easy to store in an accessory box.
• Ideal solution to improve the presentation and effectiveness of your carp rigs.

Advantages and product highlights

One of the main strengths of this extendable bait stop is the flexibility it brings to your rigs. Instead of carrying multiple pre-tied leaders for each bait type, you can keep the same rig and simply adapt the hair length with the Extender Hairstop. This approach saves valuable time at the water’s edge and lets you react instantly to changing fish behaviour.

By keeping the hair loop inside the bait, the Extender Hairstop reduces the impact of silverfish, small nuisance fish or crayfish, which are known to damage or displace traditional stops. Your presentation stays effective for longer, improving the chances of hooking a wary carp, especially during long sessions or at night.

This system also contributes to a cleaner, more consistent presentation. The distance between the hook and the bait can be adjusted to optimise the mechanical effect of the rig at the moment of uptake. Whether you want a very tight presentation or a longer hair for combined baits, the Extender Hairstop offers a comfortable adjustment range without compromising the strength of your leader.

Usage tips

To get the most from the NASH Extender Hairstop, start by preparing your hair rig as usual. After drilling the bait with a boilie needle, pass the hair loop through the bait. Insert the Extender Hairstop into the loop, then gently pull the hair to seat the stop inside the bait.

Adjust the stop position according to the desired presentation: for a single bait, keep a moderate distance between the bait and the hook bend; for a double combination or a snowman rig, adjust the length to maintain a balanced presentation. Before each cast, check that the stop is properly lodged inside the bait and that the hair loop is securely held.

Keep several Extender Hairstops in your accessory box within easy reach. They allow you to change a rig quickly when fish activity shifts, for example to switch from a dense boilie to a dense/floating combination, without remaking the entire leader. This time saving can make the difference during short feeding windows.
