NASH Pinpoint Camouflage Marker Pens

Product benefits

The NASH Pinpoint camouflage markers for fishing are designed to meet the demands of carp anglers and technical anglers who need to remain discreet, even in very clear water and on heavily fished spots. Thanks to a specialized ink, these pens allow you to blacken and camouflage hooks, hooklinks and the entire terminal tackle to limit distracting reflections that can alert wary fish.

The acid-free, low-odor formula preserves the integrity of the metal and materials you work on, while protecting the hook point as much as possible. By coloring the bite zone, the markers help protect the point against superficial oxidation and minor abrasions, while retaining the penetration and accuracy expected from high-quality hooks.

Designed for modern fishing use, these permanent markers can be used on hooks as well as on sleeves, swivels, beads, silicone sleeves, heat-shrink tubing, controller-type floats or Zig floats. They therefore offer a complete camouflage solution for the rig, from the hook point to the final terminal element.

Compact and easy to carry in an accessory box or pocket of your bag, these pens naturally join the mobile angler’s toolkit. A few strokes with the marker are enough, at the water’s edge, to instantly adapt the discreteness of your rigs to the type of bottom, water clarity or current fishing pressure.

Advantages and key strengths

The primary advantage of these camouflage markers for hooks and rigs lies in their ability to break the overly straight outline of a bare hook. By creating darker, irregular zones, the visual lure represented by your rig becomes less identifiable, which can make the difference on heavily pressured fish.

Reducing metallic reflections is another key point. In clear or slightly stained water, a shiny hook, clip or swivel can reflect light and stand out sharply from the bottom. By coloring these elements with the NASH Pinpoint pens, you obtain a much more visually neutral rig that blends into the immediate environment.

The versatility of these markers makes them very appealing for the carp angler as well as for float fishing, method feeder or predator fishing when certain rig elements must remain discreet. They let you quickly customize a ready-to-use hooklink, a sleeve or a float without having to change the entire rig.

Another asset is ease of use. The handling is intuitive, like a standard marker, which allows precision even on very small components. You can make slight touch-ups or recolorings in a few seconds, even at the peg. The permanent nature of the ink reduces the need to reapply frequently while remaining durable enough for several sessions, depending on wear and rubbing.

Finally, using acid-free permanent markers designed for fishing is more reliable than generic markers not suited to prolonged contact with water, metal or nylon. You therefore benefit from a product specifically designed for durability and performance of your rigs.

Usage tips

Before applying the marker, ensure the surface to be colored is clean and dry. Wipe the hook, hooklink or accessory carefully with a cloth or piece of foam to remove moisture, mud or plant residue. A clean surface promotes adhesion and durability of the coloration.

For hooks, make regular strokes with the marker from the eye to the bend, avoiding heavy application on the point. The goal is to camouflage the general shape of the hook and reduce reflections without clogging the point. Let dry for a few moments before handling the rig or casting.

On hooklinks and plastic elements (sleeves, coated swivels, beads, floats, etc.), apply the color in small touches or thin irregular bands. This approach better mimics natural variations of the bottom (weed, gravel, silt…) and improves the overall discretion of the rig. It is possible to layer several passes to achieve a more pronounced shade.

Adjust the intensity and distribution of the color according to the type of bottom: darker on silted or cluttered bottoms, more moderate on light gravel or sand. Test on a section of hooklink before finalizing the entire rig.

As with any fishing accessory, store the markers with caps tightly closed to avoid tip drying. Keep them out of prolonged sun exposure and excessive heat, and out of reach of children. When using on sensitive materials, perform a preliminary test on a small, discreet area.

FAQ

Question 1: Can these markers be used on all types of hooks and rigs?

Answer: They are designed for versatile use on most hooks, hooklinks and small rig accessories. As with any product, we recommend testing first on a small discreet area to check adhesion and finish on the material used.

Question 2: Does the coloration withstand multiple fishing sessions?

Answer: The ink is permanent and offers good long-term hold. Exact durability depends on rubbing, repeated casts, contact with obstacles and how often rigs are changed. Light touch-ups with the marker are possible when you notice color fading.

Question 3: Won’t the marker odor disturb fish?

Answer: The low-odor formulation was created for fishing use. Still, allow the colored surface to dry before casting and handle baits with clean hands to avoid transferring unwanted smells to the attractive part of your rig.
