NASH Triggalink Elastic Braid

Product benefits

Designed by NASH to meet the demands of modern fishing, the Triggalink leader stands out for a unique design combining soft braid and a PVA-type material. When in contact with water, this structure tensions and behaves like an elastic hooklink, then, once dry, it returns to the behaviour of a conventional non-stretch braid. This dual nature makes it a top choice for carp anglers seeking innovation.

Controlled elasticity alters how the hook positions in the fish's mouth. When the carp moves and pulls the rig toward the lead, the leader section gradually loads, creating a true catapult effect that helps the hook seat deeper. The wariest carp, used to rigid and predictable rigs, find it much harder to free themselves from this carp leader with its unexpected behaviour.

Triggalink's ability to absorb the most violent headshakes further enhances rig security. Instead of transmitting pressure abruptly to the hook and lead, the elasticity absorbs part of the strain, which limits hook pull-offs and improves point hold, even during prolonged fights. The result is a carp rig that is more forgiving, more discreet and far more effective against pressured fish.

Technical specifications

• Soft braid specially developed for leaders intended for carp fishing.
• Incorporation of a PVA-type material inside the braid to create elastic behaviour when activated by water.
• Leader that becomes stretchable when wet, then returns to a non-stretch braid after fully drying.
• Designed to change how the hook positions in the fish's mouth when it pulls the rig toward the lead.
• Elasticity that allows absorption of jolts and the most violent headshakes during a carp fight.
• Particularly suited to use with barbless hooks or in areas with heavy vegetation.
• Technical hooklink intended for carp anglers aiming to optimize their rigs on the toughest waters.

Advantages and highlights

The primary advantage of NASH Triggalink lies in its ability to outsmart the most finicky carp. Where a classic leader behaves predictably, this carp hooklink offers a progressive elastic response that surprises the fish at the critical moment. The carp ends up with a hook that penetrates deeper with each attempt to rid itself of the rig, which significantly increases the rate of solid hook-ups.

Its controlled elasticity also noticeably improves fighting comfort. By cushioning abrupt changes in tension, Triggalink limits the risk of tearing the mouth tissues and reduces the likelihood of hook pull-offs at the lip edge. This aspect is especially appreciated with barbless hooks, where consistent tension is essential to keep the fish hooked. In areas rich in weed or other obstacles, this suppleness also helps maintain contact without putting excessive force on the rig.

Finally, the leader's ability to return to a non-stretch braid after drying makes preparation and storage easier. The angler regains a manageable braid that's simple to tie and assemble, while enjoying, once in the water, the benefits of an elastic carp leader without having to change knot techniques or accessories.

Usage tips

To get the most out of NASH Triggalink, it is recommended to carefully tune your rig. Pair this leader with a lead appropriate to the spot and casting distance so that the carp feels progressive resistance when attempting to move away with the bait. The elasticity then activates and helps reinforce the hook set.

Before casting, carefully check your knots and the condition of the braid. Although Triggalink is designed to withstand repeated pulls, it is always best to visually inspect the leader after each fish, especially if you've been fishing near obstacles or dense vegetation. Replace it as soon as you notice any sign of wear or abrasion to keep a reliably performing rig.

After the session, let the leader dry completely so it regains its non-stretch braid characteristics. You can then store it in a leader pouch or box like any other carp leader. By adjusting rig length and hook type to the situation, this versatile hooklink will find a place in many carp fishing strategies, whether targeting pressured or simply wary fish.

FAQ

Question 1 : How is NASH Triggalink different from a classic braid leader?

Answer: Triggalink combines a soft braid with a PVA-type material that becomes elastic when in contact with water. The leader then behaves like an elastic hooklink, before returning to a non-stretch braid once dry. This change in behaviour helps improve hook penetration and surprise wary carp.

Question 2 : Can the same leader be reused after a fishing session?

Answer: Yes, once the leader is completely dry it regains its non-stretch properties and can be reused, provided it shows no wear or abrasion. It is recommended to carefully inspect the braid and knots after each fish to ensure a reliable and safe rig.
