Super soft ultra skin 25lb

The new Gardner Ultra Skin is a super soft, supple and "skinned" braided hooklink material.

Ultra Skin is available in three matte colors - green, brown and sludge and in three breaking strengths - 15lb, 25lb and 35lb. These are perfectly suited to a wide range of carp and specialized fishing situations.

It retains a low profile, while the added strength does not mean a significant jump in finished diameter, and at 0.55mm it is still amazingly thin for a 25lb skinned underline!

Skinned leaders have been widely available for many years, Ultra Skin now offers significant improvements in feel, color, finish and ease of use.
It is really the softest and smoothest material of its kind; with the carefully specified and customized colors until we were 100% satisfied with the best shade and 100% correct.
The matte finish isn't just for show; it really helps the material blend in with the aquatic environment, and the soft feel means that if a fish bumps into it while feeding on a bait spot, it feels "natural" and less likely to alert a fish that might be a little "edgy. Of course, this is also helped by the fact that the material sinks well and is more likely to settle in the lake bottom.

As anglers, we realize that most soft hooklinks need to be pinned down (because the hookbait tends to get closer to the lead than the length of the hooklink) and a blob of Critical Mass tungsten putty halfway up the hooklink really makes a difference to your final presentation - even with really heavy hooklink materials like Ultra Skin - especially if you are fishing hard spots that are very clean from feeding fish.

Ultra Skin is easy to strip and will not tear while tightening a properly tied 'figure of 8' loop knot.

The unique polymer blend used in the skin makes Ultra Skin easy to straighten, even with your fingertips.

Is this the best sheet hook connection out there? We think so....
