Norway Jigging Leaders, custom made with 600lb Stainless Steel Swivels, 200lb Stainless Steel Split ring and approx. 6ft of high quality 150lb mono.

You will need to take a pair of Split Ring Pliers (quality stainless split ring pliers available in the tools section very soon) to fit your Shad or Pirk to this leader, you will not open these split rings with your finger nail and using a knife is extremely dangerous. These are the recommended leaders to use (by Norway Guides) and are tied direct to yhe braid on your reel.

Be aware that it is always advisable to change your leader after landing a very big Cod or Halibut as they can be damaged during the fight and another monster fish could be awaiting your lure the next time you drop down. It would be a shame to loose a huge Halibut because your leader was damaged in a previous fight.

Supplied in a pack of two, for £4.99, you can be sure your rig to top quality and 100% reliable.

We have added 100lb b.s. leaders now for jigging for Coal Fish and will shortly add 80lb. The use of heavy leaders like these for Coalies is just in case a Halibut comes along and eats your Coal Fish lure !

Supplied in a pack of 2, these leaders are designed to cover all bases when you travel to Norway to catch that fish of a lifetime.

Some areas of Norway have very strong tides and at times you may not be able to get your lure down to the bottom as the current it too strong. You have tried your heaviest lure but it just streams away with the current leaving you wasting your fishing time and extremely frustrated.

Meet our weighted leaders. These are the same as our jigging leaders but have been assembled incorporating an egg sinker onto the rig that gives you additional weight to get your lure down to the bottom and fishing where the fish are.

We can produce these in 2oz, 3oz, 4oz, 5oz, 6oz, 8oz and even 12oz and 16oz if required. If you are confident enough tying your own knots, we will happily supply the egg sinkers and you can make them yourself but, if you are not 100% sure, we can now supply them custom made for you.

Norway Pirk Dead Bait Rig is made from 150lb quality supple mono, it is fitted with two 4/0 - 5X trebles and has a 600lb stainless steel swivel attached to the end with a XXX strong 14mm stainless steel split ring attached to it.

It is approximately 14" long and you attach it to the bottom on a Norway style pirk 300g - 400g in weight. Then you add a dead bait, usually a small 8" to 9"Coalfish and lower it down to the bottom. The fir is then jigged gently (not UK style lifting the rod 6ft in the air) but gently lifting a foot or so and lowering again so you work the pirk and deadbait together.

Supplied in a pack of two as you may loose one, these rigs really work, I have seen it for myself and they work extremely well for Cod, Coalfish and Halibut.

This is our NEW Custom Stinger for the Westin Big Bob 730g Shad deigned for catching monster Skrei Cod up to 100lb +. When trying to catch the monsterous Cod and having the real chance of a fish up to and over 100lb you need to be 100% confident in your terminal tackle including the Stinger Treble on your lure. 

This Big Bob Custom Stinger have been manufactured using our experience and expertise and working inconjunction with top anglers who fish Norway every year to produce the most reliable Stinger for Skrei Cod available today.

Manufactured using supple 500lb plastic coated Steel Wire crimped to 565 lb American made Stainless Steel Ball Bearing Swivel at one end and a 6X strong VMC 7560 4/0 treble at the other end, these stingers will not let you down regardless of how big the Cod is you manage to hook, it is truly awsome and 100% reliable fish after fish

When the Cod is initially hooked they fight tradionally with their hard thumping and powerful runs but as they come near the surface they start to spin. Traditional stingers will kink due to the spinning weakening with every fish even though they are made with 150lb to 200lb mono. Eventually if not changed in time they will break and sods law says it will be on that fish of a life time.

These Big Bob Stingers are not cheap but top quality components are not cheap to buy and these are the very best there is. Crimped using a bench mounted crimper not a hand held they are perfect everytime. Two would be enough for a trip (take a hook sharpener with you to touch up your hooks at the end of each day) and who knows, with my stinger and your luck, we might end up in the record books !!

I have made this version of our Jigging Leaders up as it was requested by one customer then another so clearly there is a demand for it. Made with the same quality mono, each Pirking Leader has a 450lb Stainless Steel Crane Swivel on it and a 450lb Crane Swivel and Tournament Snap. Be aware that the snap os also 450lb and you will require considerable strength in your fingers to open and close it but you will get away with pliers. I chose this size snap knowing it was not easy to open deliberately as I do not want them coming open when you are playing a big fish and I am very confident, used for Pirking this rig will not let anyone down.

I was asked last year by one of the guests on a hosted trip if I could make him a single hook rig for his Anti Twist Lead as he did not want to use trebles for fear of injuring a Halibut. I immediately offered him a Circle Hook rig which he declined as he did not get on with Circle hooks having lost some good fish on them in the past.

In my hook box I had some Trokar TK15 hooks in 8/0 so I made him a rig using sais hook and gave it to him. Four Halibut later to 126cm long, he said he was delighted with the rig and it obviously worked well. He called this week and asked for six more rigs for both himself and a friend who are back out in Norway in June 2019 and reminded me about these rigs. And he was the second person in 2019 who contacted me telling me they were not confident fishing with Circle hooks so here are the rigs. Sold in a pack of two, they are not cheap rigs, but the hooks are approximately £3.30 each so not a bad price for a proffesionally made rig. Below is the make up of the rigs.
