Since appearing in the Korda Underwater series, filmed at Norton Disney, the buzz around these Shot on the Hook weights has been huge and there has been a huge resurgence in the use of this rig since the release of the film. The Shot on the Hook improves the hooking potential of any wafter, bottom bait or snowman rig by creating a heavier point which allows the hook to grip more effectively, resulting in quicker and more bites.
These hook attachments are made from pure tungsten, which gives them an exceptional density to volume ratio. This high density, pure tungsten has allowed us to achieve a significant weight with a minimum of material, creating a compact yet sufficiently weighted Shot on the Hook. This reusable Shot on the Hook can be used time and time again. It has a small rubber mould that fits over the hook point to hold your shot in place. When it’s time to change hooks, simply slide it off if you are using barbless hooks, or if you are using barbless hooks, crush the barb before removing.
Danny Fairbrass “Nothing has made a bigger difference to my catch rate with bottom baits over the last few years. I was keen to get it done quickly but Damian and the product team overruled me to make something ‘special’. I’m really pleased I was overruled this time as the end result is an easy to use product that is suitable for any type of bottom bait or wafter rig, from plastic corn on a size 8 to a 24mm boilie on a size 2.”
The Shot on the Hook is available in three sizes; 0.30g, 0.40g and 0.50g and comes in a handy storage pouch with a sliding lid to keep them safe in your tackle box, with ten shots per packet. DF Insight: Personally I would recommend the small 0.3g version for hook sizes 8, 6 and 4 with small baits up to 14mm. For slightly larger baits around 16-18mm and hook sizes 6, 4 and 2 I would opt for the 0.4g Shot on the Hook.
For anglers using larger hooks and big baits with a diameter of 20 and 24mm we have the 0.5g version. The idea is that the lighter the bait, the less force the carp will use to suck it in. By using the lighter shot it has a better chance of getting into the fish’s mouth.
