Ziplock Booms

Ziplock booms are the worlds most advanced fishing booms. Simple to use, yet devastatingly effective, they allow the angler to present natural or artificial baits in a totally unique way. The patented Ziplock system allows the angler to lengthen or shorten hook lengths at will, without ever having to cut and re-tie the line again, allowing you to keep up with ever changing tides and conditions. The Ziplock boom also allows you to fish hook lengths as long as you like, giving your bait the freedom to move far more freely and naturally in the tide or current, locking into position when the required trace length is reached, but automatically disengaging when a fish is hooked, sliding down towards the fish, reducing the trace length and allowing easy landing of your catch.

Ziplock Whisker Booms

300mm (12") Ziplock Whisker Boom.


This boom is ideal for presenting live or artificial baits on long flowing traces ( flying collar rigs ), over the deepest wrecks or reefs. The extra length of the boom stops the trace from tangling with the main line as you lower it to the sea bed.

   

        1x 300mm Ziplock Whisker Boom  (2 per pack)    £2.50      

        

   

 

        5x 300mm Ziplock Whisker Boom  (2 per pack)    £11.25      

        

    

230mm (10") Ziplock Whisker Boom

Again an ideal wrecking boom, slightly smaller in length for ease of use, and designed for wrecks and reefs up to 150ft deep. This boom also makes an ideal down rigger for trolling baits and lures.

   

   

     1x 230mm Ziplock Whisker Boom   (2 per pack)   £2.25      

     

   

 

     5x 230mm Ziplock Whisker Boom  (2 per pack)    £9.99      

      

 

TOP TIP: The 230mm Ziplock Boom makes an excellent downrigger for trolling. Using this method you can stream your artificial lure, or live bait way out behind the boat, and then set it to fish at any depth. Put the boat into gear, hold the boom and let the lure drift back away from the boat. I've fished Bass Bandits 80 yards back before!! When you’re happy, lock the boom into position and lower it to the depth you want to fish. The lure is swimming way back, away from any disturbance, but directly in line with the weighted boom at the set depth. When a fish hits the lure the boom disengages, and slides all the way back to the swivel, tied 6ft above the lure, magic!!!

TOP TIP 2: Use cable ties to attach the weight to the boom, then cut the boom tubing down so it is just a bit longer than the weight, this just keeps things nice and tidy. With the weight fixed like this, it acts like a keel, and also prevents the lead from spinning!! If you’re switched on you can rig up several booms with different sized weights, so you can fish different depths.

 

150 mm (6") Ziplock boom

Designed for inshore reefs and shallow wrecks where a long trace will present your bait far more effectively than any normal boom.

   

    1x 150mm Ziplock Whisker Boom (2 per pack)  £1.99

Ziplock Running Booms

 

Ziplock Heavy-weight 20-40lb class Running Boom

  This boom is ideal for heavy-weight down-tide bottom fishing with tackle between 20 and 40kg class targeting Cod, Skate, Tope etc. The design of this boom allows big baits on long flowing traces to be streamed out in the tide and the weight fished hard on the bottom. The running boom allows a fish to pick up the bait and move away with it with out feeling the resistance of the lead, but give positive bite indication through to the rod tip.

                   

A 22lb Cod taken using a Ziplock heavy weight running boom and a 60ft long trace. The extra long trace allowed the big bait to move much more in the tide. Note how the boom has collapsed leaving only a very short trace length , allowing easy landing of the catch.

    1x Heavy-weight Ziplock Running Boom 

    (2 per pack with full instructions)        £2.50      

    

    5x Heavy-weight Ziplock Running Boom 

    (2 per pack with full instructions):      £11.25

Ziplock Light-weight 12-20lb class


  For tackle of between 12 and 20kg class, this boom is ideal  for light tackle bottom fishing targeting Plaice, Bass, flounder etc. on long flowing traces.

Another whopping Cod taken on a Ziplock down-tide bom. A super long flowing trace and a huge lugworm bait. Again, note how the boom has slid down to reduce a 50ft trace to under 3ft.

    (2 per pack with full instructions):          £2.25

14" Mega-Wreckers

THESE BRAND NEW MEGA WRECKER BOOMS COME IN PACKS OF 3 AND ARE RED HOT...

These booms are 14" long so stop any tangles on the long drop to the sea bed, but more importantly these booms are made from a thick walled tube so they don't bend up like a stick of liquorice as you lower your bait down.

The most impressive feature of these booms is the pivot end. This unique feature allows the boom to stand out at 90% to the main line when fishing, but when you get a pluck or take from a pollack, cod, coalfish or bass, the boom pivots downwards creating a straight line between you and the taking fish. This means you have a straight line from the fish directly up to your rod tip. You feel everything, the fish feels nothing, brilliant!!!

 

        1x 14 inch Mega-Wrecker (3 per pack)         £2.99     

          

 

        5x 14 inch Mega-Wrecker (3 per pack)       £14.25

Heavy Duty Wrecking Booms

These superb Wrecking Booms are made from top quality, super heavy duty stainless steel. Designed to allow you to present your lures or baits on super long traces without tangling. The length of these booms allows you to lower your tackle down to the deepest wrecks, and the thickness of the boom stops it from bending upwards as you drop your tackled down, meaning far fewer tangles. Another great innovation of these booms is the quick change ends - allowing you to have ready-made rigs with either loops or swivels attached to be fitted in seconds and without having to re-tie your trace to the boom. 

5 X HEAVY DUTY 15" WRECKING BOOMS

5x 15" Wrecking Booms      £3.99

Heavy Duty Spreader Booms

5 X HEAVY DUTY 15" SPREADER BOOMS

These superb spreader booms, also know as 'Herne Bay' spreaders, are made from top quality super heavy duty stainless steel. These booms have been the guarded secret of some of the top boat match fishing champions. Designed to allow you to present 2 baits perfectly on the sea bed. They allow the two baits fishing side by side to give off two strong but individual, scent trails giving you twice the effect of a standard two hook flowing trace where one bait fishes behind the other and produces just a single scent trail. These booms are deadly for flatfish, cod and whiting.
