Tronixpro Rubber Stops – Column – Luminous

Tronixpro Rubber Stops – Column | Luminous | The Night Angler’s Advantage

When the sun goes down and the tide begins to flood, visibility becomes your best ally. The Tronixpro Rubber Stops (Column) in Luminous, available at Gerry’s Fishing, are a dual-purpose essential for any serious shore angler. Not only do they provide a secure, non-damaging way to build and adjust your rigs, but they also act as a permanent “glow-in-the-dark” attractor right next to your bait.

These high-grip rubber cylinders are designed to slide onto your line and stay put, serving as an excellent alternative to metal crimps. In the Luminous version, they provide that extra bit of “flare” needed to catch the eye of curious predators like Whiting, Cod, and Flatfish in deep or murky night waters.

Technical Specifications

Why Use Luminous Column Rubber Stops?

• High-Visibility Attraction: Ideal for night fishing or coloured water. A quick blast with a headlamp or UV torch makes these stops glow brightly, drawing fish toward your hook.

   

• Non-Damaging Snood Traps: Use a pair to “trap” a swivel on your rig body. Unlike crimps, these won’t pinch or weaken your line, and they allow you to move your snoods up or down to find the feeding fish.

   

• Glow-in-the-Dark Bait Stops: Slide one down to the eye of your hook to keep soft baits (like lugworm or peeler crab) from sliding up the line, while simultaneously acting as a glowing strike point.

   

• Bead Positioning: Perfect for keeping standard or floating beads pinned close to the hook. The column shape provides a larger surface area for better grip on thicker rig body lines.

   

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“If you’re fishing for Whiting or Flatfish at night, try ‘charging’ these stops with a UV torch just before you cast. The luminous glow acts like a beacon in the dark. For maximum grip during a power cast with a 6oz lead, bunch three stops together above and below your swivel. This creates a rock-solid ‘bumper’ that won’t budge, but still gives you the freedom to adjust your rig by hand once it’s back on the beach!”

Frequently Asked Questions

How many stops are in each pack?

Each pack contains 20 Luminous Rubber Stops, pre-loaded onto convenient wire loops for easy transfer to your mono or fluorocarbon.

Do they glow for a long time?

Tronixpro uses a high-quality luminous pigment. While they will glow naturally in low light, a quick 5-second ‘charge’ with a bright light source will give them a vibrant glow that lasts through most of a standard cast and soak.

Can I use these on thin hook lengths?

Yes! While the column shape is great for thicker rig bodies, they also grip well on standard hook lengths. If you find one is too loose on very fine line, simply slide a second one on to ‘double up’ the grip.

Are they better than the Oval version?

It’s down to preference, but many anglers prefer the Column shape for “trapping” swivels because the flat ends sit more flush against beads and swivel eyes, providing a neater, more stable rig
