ESP Chod Rig Sleeves

The ESP Chod Rig Sleeves are the perfect way to protect your chod rig from the elements and improve your chances of landing a fish.

These sleeves are the first of their kind on the market and serve two main purposes:

Prevent the hook from coming into contact with the lead: Typically, a chod rig hook link is 2-3 inches long. By using the sleeve, it prevents the hook from coming into contact with the lead, which can cause the hook to bend or break.
Act as a buffer-like shock absorber when playing fish: The soft, flexible silicone sleeve acts as a buffer-like shock absorber when playing fish on a very short hook link. Under pressure, the sleeve will concertina, absorbing the lunges of the fish and helping to prevent breakages or hook pulls.
The flexible silicone tube is mounted onto a soft sleeve which houses the lead retaining clip and provides a neat, streamlined system. The thermoplastic rubber used to mould the clip link retaining sleeve is malleable yet tough and is perfect for sleeving the clip link yet does not have the soft flexibility and inherent spring of good old silicone tube. ESP have combined the two materials to create the perfect shock absorber buffer sleeve for chod rig work.

The silicone tube can be shortened if required, as can the clip retaining sleeve if the leader is tied directly to the lead loop. Available in translucent camo brown, weedy green and choddy silt to complement ESP Leadcore.
