Product Details and Uses

Preston Innovations Rig Hook Ups

Protect your high-performance pole elastics and drastically cut down your bankside setup time with the Preston Innovations Rig Hook Ups. These neat, simple, and incredibly effective accessories are designed to slide onto your top kits, providing a secure anchoring point for your rig hooks. By allowing you to store your rigs fully assembled on your top kits without over-tensioning or stretching the elastic, they dramatically prolong the lifespan of expensive latex and hollow elastics, ensuring your gear is always preserved in match-ready condition.

Product Specifications

Quantity: Supplied in a pack containing two sizes to accommodate various top kit diameters.
Material: High-grade, fish-friendly plastic that grips the blank securely without causing scratching or structural damage to carbon sections.
Function: Holds rig hooks securely while keeping the pole elastic under minimal, safe tension.
Application: Ideal for match, commercial, and pleasure anglers utilizing dedicated top kit configurations.

Pro Tips for Your Top Kits

Prolonging Elastic Life: Storing a rig hooked into a standard plastic clip or the base of the section often requires pulling the elastic tight, which degrades the latex over time. Slide the Rig Hook Up to the exact point on your top kit where the rig sits perfectly straight with the elastic under barely any tension. This prevents flat spots or weakening near the connector.
Match-Day Speed: Time is money in a match scenario. By utilizing these hook ups, you can leave your premier commercial or silverfish rigs completely set up on your top kits inside your hardcase pole protector between sessions. When you arrive at your peg, simply assemble the pole, drop the top kit into position, and you are ready to ship out in seconds.
Strategic Placement: Position the hook up away from the joint areas of your carbon sections. This ensures that when you break down your pole to land a fish or ship back, the clip never interferes with the smooth male/female fitting of your kits.

Where to Use

Match & Festival Carp Fishing: Essential for anglers managing multiple top kits tailored for shallow, margin, or deck fishing, allowing instant swapping during a frantic feeding window.
Commercial Venues: Perfect for keeping delicate pellet or paste rigs intact and tangle-free during transit to and from the lake.
Long-Stay Pleasure Sessions: A brilliant tool for the organized angler who likes to prepare all their kit at home the night before a big session.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Will these clips damage or scratch my high-end carbon top kits?

A: No. Preston Innovations has engineered these from a smooth, slightly flexible polymer material. They are designed to clip firmly onto the blank to prevent slipping, but they will not scratch, scrape, or compress the delicate carbon walls of your pole.

Q: Which size should I use?

A: The pack is supplied with two distinct sizes. The smaller option is ideal for standard match or silverfish top kits, while the larger clip is tailored to fit thicker, heavy-duty power kits or F1 short kits often used on modern commercial venues.

Q: Can I leave them on my top kits permanently?

A: Yes, absolutely. They have an incredibly low profile and add virtually no weight to the blank, meaning they can live on your top kits permanently without affecting the balance, action, or shipping performance of your pole.
