Advantages and product highlights

Using a silicone sleeve on your rigs immediately improves their finish. By covering the most exposed metal parts, the NASH Silicone Sleeve reduces the risk of tangles between the leader, mainline and accessories mounted around the weight. You benefit from cleaner casts, better presentation and more efficient fishing time.

The sleeve also acts as extra protection for your knots, often the weakest point of a rig. By encasing them, it reduces direct abrasion with gravel, obstacles and debris on the bottom, helping to preserve the overall strength of the setup over time.

Another major advantage is that the NASH Silicone Sleeve allows you to control the exit angle of the leader relative to the swivel or clip. By positioning the sleeve correctly, you can create a more aggressive or more gradual alignment depending on the type of rig used, which promotes better hook rotation and improves the chances of an effective hook-up.

Versatile, this anti-tangle silicone sleeve integrates into a wide variety of rigs: rigs with quick-change clips to swap leaders in seconds, rigs with lead clips, near-bottom or semi-buoyant presentations. It is suitable for short- and long-distance fishing and is aimed at both beginners and experienced carp anglers.

Usage tips

To get the most from the NASH Silicone Sleeve, start by sliding a section of sleeve onto your leader before tying the knot that will connect it to the swivel or quick-change clip. Once the knot is tightened and checked, carefully slide the sleeve towards the swivel to cover the metal part and the knot, leaving enough freedom for the rig to retain its natural mobility.

You can adjust the length of the silicone sleeve by carefully cutting a section if needed to obtain a shorter or longer finish according to the rig type. However, be sure to keep enough sleeve to properly cover sensitive areas such as knots and main contact points.

Before each fishing session, make a habit of checking the condition of your sleeves. If the silicone shows signs of wear, cracking or excessive flattening, simply replace the affected section with a new one. A quick check at the waterside will help you maintain tidy, reliable and effective rigs throughout your session.

After fishing, store your rigged leaders with their sleeves in a rig wallet or a tackle box to prevent unnecessary deformation. By taking care of this small fishing accessory, you extend its lifespan and ensure consistent performance every time.
