Tronixpro Zip Sliders

The Tronixpro Zip Sliders are a terminal tackle essential for creating ultra-efficient running ledger rigs. Designed with stealth and performance in mind, these clear plastic sliders allow your mainline to move with minimal resistance, ensuring that even the most timid fish can pick up your bait without feeling the weight of the lead. Whether you are fishing from a boat or the shore, these sliders provide the sensitivity you need to improve your hook-up rate.

Specifications

• Material: High-clarity, clear plastic for maximum underwater camouflage.

• Quantity: 2 per pack (bulk savings available on 5 and 10-pack purchases).

• Sizes Available: Extra Small and Medium.

• Compatibility: Suitable for both boat and shore fishing applications.

Key Features

• Low-Visibility Design: Unlike traditional coloured plastic sliders that can stand out to wary fish, our clear plastic construction is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, giving you an edge in clear water conditions.

• Reduced Resistance: The smooth-bore design allows your mainline or shockleader to glide through the slider effortlessly. This direct line path is critical for bite detection, as it ensures you see the slightest twitch on your rod tip immediately.

• Versatile Application: While a favourite among boat anglers for running ledger rigs, they are equally effective for shore anglers targeting species like Bream, Bass, or Whiting, where a free-running setup is often preferred to entice shy biters.

• Durable & Reliable: Despite their small size, these sliders are built to withstand the pressures of repeated casting and the friction of heavy-duty lines, ensuring they won’t fail when you’re connected to a good fish.

Pro Tip for Anglers

For the ultimate sensitive setup, use the Extra Small slider on a light mono mainline when fishing for Bream or Whiting. If you are fishing in areas with high currents, switch to the Medium slider with a slightly thicker shockleader; this provides better stability for the lead and helps prevent the slider from “trapping” against any debris or weed that may be floating in the tide. Always pair these with a high-quality quick-change bead to allow for rapid rig adjustments without having to re-tie your main line.

Where to Use

• Boat Fishing: The standard choice for running ledger rigs when targeting species that require a subtle, free-running presentation.

• Shore Fishing: Highly effective for “sliding” rigs used on sandy or mixed ground, where you want your hooklength to move independently of the lead.

• Specimen Hunting: When you want to minimize the resistance a fish feels upon picking up your bait, giving it time to swallow the bait before it feels the weight of the lead.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why choose clear plastic over coloured versions?

In clear water or on sunny days, coloured sliders can create a silhouette that might spook cautious fish. Clear plastic helps the slider blend into the water, keeping your rig stealthy and natural.

What is the difference between the Extra Small and Medium sizes?

The Extra Small is perfect for lighter, finesse-style fishing where minimizing weight and drag is the priority. The Medium size has a slightly larger bore and a more robust frame, making it better suited for heavier lines, deeper water, or rougher conditions where you need a bit more durability.

Can I use these with braided mainlines?

Yes, they work very well with braid. Because the material is smooth and high-quality, it won’t damage or fray your braid, even after repeated casting and retrieving.
