* The Covert Pop-Up Hook Aligners can be used with almost any hook and hooklink combination as well. This means that you can now use D-Rigs with either coated or uncoated braids or even light monofilaments. * So what’s so good about mounting hookbaits on a 'D' in this way? * Mounting the hookbait a couple of mm off the back of the hook shank on a free moving hinge ensures that when the hookbait is inhaled or mouthed by a browsing fish, then the weight of the hook forces the hook point to drop. * In combination with the angle created by the Hook Aligner the two factors work together so the hook turns aggressively taking a firm hold on the fishes bottom lip or in the scissors. * Covert Pop-Up Hook Aligners can be used to mount most hookbaits, including balanced hookbaits and bottom baits – they’re not just for pop-ups! * They are quick and easy to use – no need to steam, shrink or shape before use! Just follow these simple steps: * Mount a Large Covert Rig Ring, Flexi Hook Swivel or Hook Swivel onto the preformed ‘D’ and thread the Hook Aligner onto the hooklink using a baiting needle. * We find it is easiest with a Braided Hair Needle as it doesn’t catch pulling through the rubber compound used in their manufacture. * Position the Pop-Up Hook Aligner (as shown on the diagram) by pushing the Hook Aligner up over the hook eye. * Pop-Up Hook Aligners are currently available in C-Thru Green, C-Thru Brown and C-Thru Black (Silt) colours and in 3 sizes. * Extra Large (XL) Pop-Up Hook Aligners are best suited for use with size 1 to 2 hooks. * Sizes available and user hook guide: * Large Pop-Up hooks Hook Aligners are best suited for use with size 2 to 6 hooks. * Small Hook Aligners are designed to work with hook sizes 8 to 12 hooks. * Each packet contains 10 Pop-Up Hook Aligners
