Description
The Guru Rig Hook Ups offer a simple, highly effective way to protect both your pole rigs and your elastic between bites and during transit.
Manufactured from a soft, flexible, and ultra-durable rubberized material, these hook ups stretch to grip your pole sections securely without scratching or marking the carbon. Featuring an integrated, ultra-slim hook locator, they hold your hook point safely out of harm’s way while completely eliminating tangles and rig wrap-overs. Best of all, they allow you to pin your rig neatly down the kit without leaving elastic stretched outside the tip, protecting delicate latex elastics from damaging UV rays that lead to perishing and snap-offs.

Where to Use
-
Between-Session Transit: Keep your rigs fully tackled up on your top kits inside your holdall without the hook swinging freely and catching on carbon or holdall linings.
-
Match Rig Swaps: Safely secure a backup rig on a secondary top kit so it remains tangle-free and ready to ship out the moment conditions change.
-
Sun-Exposed Summer Fishing: Crucial for hot, high-UV match days where leaving stretched elastic exposed to direct sunlight quickly degrades expensive hollow and solid elastics.
Pro Tip
Eliminate Elastic Tension Fatigue: When securing your hook into the dedicated locator slot, stretch the Rig Hook Up slightly down the pole section rather than pulling your elastic up. By tensioning the rubber hook-up body instead of pulling meters of elastic out of the PTFE bush, you keep the elastic completely housed within the carbon top kit—maximizing UV protection and preventing your internal bung setup from creeping out of place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the tight fit damage my high-modulus carbon sections?
No. The material has been specifically engineered to be soft and pliable. It applies even, non-abrasive compression around the blank, gripping securely without scratching the finish or crushing delicate carbon walls.
Which size should I buy for modern commercial top kits?
For standard 2-piece commercial top kits (such as F1, Speed, or Power kits), the Medium size is usually the best fit for sliding up onto the thicker lower section, while the Small size is ideal for narrower 1-piece kits or standard No.1 tip sections.
Why are there two different colors in the pack?
Each pack includes 4x Grey and 4x Black hook ups. Having two distinct colors makes it effortless to color-code your rigs—for example, using Black for your heavy carp setups and Grey for your light F1 or silverfish rigs.
