NASH Rig Flame Shield Protector

Product Benefits

The NASH Rig Flame Shield is a rigging accessory specially designed for carp anglers who use a flame to form stops, loops and line-stops. Acting as a shield between the heat source, the hooklink and your fingers, it lets you work precisely while reducing the risk of weakening nylon, fluorocarbon or coated materials.

With this carp rig protection tool, you achieve clean, consistent finishes ideal for technical rigs such as D-rigs, choddies and anti-eject rigs, without fearing melted tubing or weakened hooklinks. The shield channels heat exactly where needed to create a neat stop while preserving overall strength.

Compact and easy to handle, this carp rigging tool fits into any tackle box and can be used both at the water’s edge and at home to prepare lines in advance. It meets the needs of demanding anglers who want perfectly finished, reproducible rigs without improvisation or risk to their equipment.

Technical Features

• Thermal protection accessory for shaping hooklinks and combinations of materials used in carp fishing.
• Designed for modern rigs such as D-rig, chod rig and anti-eject setups, and for other rigs requiring a flame-shaped stop.
• Directs heat in a controlled way to form neat loops and stops on line connections and presentation materials.
• Practical size, suitable for transport in a box or rig pouch, for use during sessions or at home.
• Use with a flame appropriate for rigging (lighter or controlled heat source) to achieve precise, repeatable results.

Advantages and Key Benefits

One of the main strengths of the NASH Rig Flame Shield is its ability to significantly improve safety and consistency when working with a flame. By placing the shield between the heat and the hooklink, you greatly reduce the risk of localised heat spots that could lead to breakages during a fight. Your rigs remain more reliable even after repeated casts or battles with powerful carp.

At the same time, this hooklink protection reduces accidental burns to the fingers. You can shape stops and ends of your line with greater confidence, focusing on precision rather than worrying about injury. The result is a cleaner rig with consistent finishes that contribute to better bait presentation.

The NASH Rig Flame Shield also saves time. Once accustomed to using it, each rig is made faster with a constant level of quality. Whether you prepare a few rigs for a short session or a large batch for a trip, this carp rigging accessory helps you maintain an efficient pace without compromising quality.

Usage Tips

To get the best results from the NASH Rig Flame Shield, start by preparing your hooklink and positioning the rig components (rings, swivels, tubing, hook) according to the desired configuration. Leave an appropriate length of line or material for shaping a stop or melt bead.

Position the shield between the flame and the part of the hooklink you want to protect. Bring a suitable flame (e.g., a lighter) close enough to heat the tip without charring the material, heating gradually to form the stop. Move the heat source slightly to avoid dwelling too long in one spot, and allow the stop to form in a controlled way.

It is recommended to apply short bursts of heat rather than strong continuous heat. Monitor the material: as soon as it begins to contract or change texture, remove the flame and let it cool for a few moments. The Rig Flame Shield helps keep heat where needed while preserving the rest of the hooklink.

Before using rigs in real conditions, test them by pulling firmly to check for weak points. Store the shield with your rigging tools so it is always on hand when working with a flame, whether at home or at the water’s edge.
