MAD CARP TOUCHDOWN TUNGSTEN RIG COMPONENTS

THESE terminal accessories from MAD Carp cover everything the keen carper needs for pinning down rigs, from Chod and Helicopter systems, through to simple sinkers and beads.

Available through all DAM dealers, they allow you to fine-tune and perfectly balance your end tackle, meaning more bites and more fish on the bank.

Each Touchdown component contains a higher ratio of tungsten compound than other similar products, so increased weight and reduced size helps keep everything pinned to the deck and helps with rig concealment.

I was particularly impressed with the Withy Curva set-up (far right), used in conjunction with tungsten oval beads. This makes a deadly pop-up rig.

Touchdown line aligners are sure to be popular too, as their perfect pre-formed shape flips the hook over while the additional tungsten weight provides superb counterbalance with plastic and wafter-type hookbaits.

Price: From £3.59

The Withy Curva set-up is just one of many popular rigs that can be made with MAD Carp components.
