NASH XL Anti Tangle Sleeve

Product benefits

The NASH Anti Tangle Sleeve is an essential accessory for carp anglers seeking clean, discreet and fully functional rigs. Fitted between the swivel and the hooklink, it distances the rig from the lead and helps keep the hooklink aligned, which considerably reduces the risk of tangles during the cast and while sinking. This delivers a far more consistent presentation, even at long range.

Designed for freshwater carp fishing, this sleeve integrates easily with most modern rigs. It promotes an aggressive hook position to improve self-hooking, while protecting the knot and loop of your hooklink. By limiting tangles, it lets you fish more efficiently without having to check or re-tie your rig after each cast.

Versatile, the NASH Anti Tangle Sleeve suits both classic bottom rigs and more technical setups used with floating or semi-floating presentations. Available in different options, it adapts to many fishing situations — from heavily fished waters to deep gravel pits — offering a neat finish and a stable hooklink position.

Advantages and key points

One of the main strengths of the NASH carp anti-tangle sleeve is the reliability it brings to your rigs. By drastically reducing tangles, it saves you time and gives confidence: every cast is made with the certainty that the presentation will sit correctly on the bottom. That translates into more actual fishing time and therefore more opportunities for bites.

By improving the angle between the hooklink and the lead, the sleeve also helps the hook to turn more effectively when the carp takes the bait. The rig repositions more easily after a missed take or after disturbance from silver fish, which enhances the performance of so-called “reset” rigs. The NASH Anti Tangle Sleeve therefore contributes directly to better hooking and long-term rig strength.

Finally, this discreet accessory fits naturally with technical and modern approaches to carp fishing. It allows you to focus on spot selection, bait and strategy rather than spending time untangling lines. Whether fishing short under the rod or at long range, using an anti-tangle sleeve becomes a routine to secure every cast.

Usage advice

To get the best from the NASH Anti Tangle Sleeve, slide the sleeve onto your hooklink before attaching it to the swivel. Once the knot is tied and tightened, slide the sleeve over the swivel to cover the knot and part of the loop. Check that the sleeve is correctly positioned and oriented along the hooklink, with no twists.

On bottom rigs, adjust the hooklink length according to the seabed (silt, gravel, weed) while keeping the sleeve as the pivot point between the swivel and the hooklink. On zig rigs or controller float setups, the sleeve also helps keep the line tidy on the cast; we recommend keeping it in place and checking alignment after each catch.

Make it a habit to visually check your rigs after a trial cast close to the bank. If everything is aligned and the sleeve holds the hooklink away from the lead, you can gradually increase casting distance with confidence. Regular use of this carp anti-tangle sleeve will help standardize your rigs and reduce presentation errors.
