GLADIO LINK
Two types of fibers have been used for the Gladio Link: pure PE mixed with PTFE makes this rig braid extremely soft, with slow sinking properties. The ideal choice when fishing silty areas and you need your rig to sink gently and slowly. Good abrasion resistance properties make this braid ideal also for use on weedy areas. • Made using PE and PTFE fibres • Slow sinking • Ultra soft • Matt finish for ultimate camouflage • High abrasion resistance
The Shallow Shad Rap is ideal for fishing skinny water. Cast it out, let it sit until the ripples fade away, then begin a slow, enticing retrieve. It is equally effective when twitching, casting or slow trolling.
