This entry was posted on 2nd May, 2019

Nash Tackle are the original innovators. CEO Kevin Nash started making tackle for his own benefit whilst still at school, these early designs caught the eye of other anglers on the bank and in the years that followed Nash Tackle grew substantially. With the backing of Alan Blair who is among the top carp anglers in the country, it is easy to see why the innovative Nash range continues to advance the scene with its products.

The Nash terminal tackle range is a plethora of small yet invaluable end tackle; from pellet stops and zig foams to Bread Bombs and rig rings. The Nash terminal tackle range will undoubtedly enhance your rigs and ultimately your bait presentation, resulting in more fish on the bank.

We’ve all been on a bitterly cold night session, sat on the bank trying our upmost to tie rigs whilst scrambling around trying to find a baiting needle and then a hair stop, or trying to tie bait on with bait floss whilst shivering – nights like that can be hard work.

Nash have found a solution to this problem, the Nash bait screw, simply grab your hook bait and screw it on, it really is that simple. Boilies, popups, tiger nuts, plastic imitation baits and foams, with a Nash bait screw the mounting of your bait is quicker and simpler.

Up until now, the downfall of the bait screw has been its size, with just an 8mm plastic or metal option. However, this is no longer the case, Nash have improved the variety of bait screws in the range with longer screws now available, meaning you can now use bait screws in conjunction with double hook baits and snowman rigs.



The range includes eight bait screws, four plastic and four metal variants. Firstly, the plastic range includes two 8mm screws, one with a swivel and one without and two 21mm screws, again one with a swivel and one without.



The metal range mirrors the plastic range and features two 8mm screws, with and without swivels and two 21mm screws, with and without swivels.

Plastic variations are generally used in conjunction with popup rigs, as they weigh less than the metal screws. Alternatively, if you’re looking to anchor your bait to the bottom, metal bait screws will be your best option.

Another factor to think about regarding metal or plastic is the size of the teeth on the screws. The plastic screws feature larger teeth and will grip the hook bait more successfully, perfect for a large chunk of luncheon meat or cheese. Whereas, the teeth on the metal screws are smaller and as a result penetrate hook baits more successfully, screwing harder baits such as tiger nuts is made easy.

The swivelled variations will allow 360-degree movement, hinging your hook bait and offering a greater blowback effect, especially when used on a slip-D rig. Whereas the no swivel design reduces hook and bait separation and is best is when fishing on the bottom.

Regardless of how you approach your carp fishing Nash bait screws are certain to make rig tying and bait mounting a whole lot easier.
