Product Information
Full details
The Nash Tackle SkinLink Semi-Stiff Hooklink is designed for carp anglers who require a high-performance, versatile material for advanced rig construction. Featuring a fast-sinking, abrasion-resistant Kevlar core, it excels at creating rigs like the Multi Rig and Hinged Stiff Rig, though anglers should note that the semi-stiff coating requires precise stripping techniques to maximize movement at the hook end.

FAQs
Can I use this material for the Multi Rig?
Yes, the SkinLink is ideal for the Multi Rig because the coating provides the necessary stiffness for the boom while the stripped section allows the hook to move freely.
Does the Kevlar core sink on its own?
Yes, the core is naturally dense and designed to sink without needing additional weight.
Is the material reflective?
No, it features a Silt matt finish designed to be non-reflective for better camouflage on the lake bed.
How much material is on the spool?
Each spool contains 10 metres of hooklink material.
Is the coating durable?
The coating is highly durable and designed to resist splitting or wearing during repeated casts and battles with fish.
Troubleshooting
Coating is difficult to remove
Use a dedicated braid stripping tool or a smooth-edged blade to gently nick the coating before pulling it away.
Rig is tangling during casts
Ensure the anti-tangle sleeve is fully covering the swivel and that the semi-stiff section of the hooklink is long enough to push the bait away from the lead.
Knots are slipping
Use a consistent knot type like the Grinner or Figure-of-Eight loop, and ensure you carefully tighten the knot by pulling the tag end and the main line evenly while lubricated.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior abrasion resistance from Kevlar core
- Excellent anti-tangle performance due to semi-stiff coating
- Highly versatile for multiple rig styles
- Natural sinking action whether stripped or intact
- Non-reflective matte finish for camouflage
Cons
- Semi-stiff nature requires practice to handle correctly
- Coating must be stripped carefully to avoid damaging the inner braid
- Available in specific weight ratings which may limit micro-rig applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, use a quality braid stripper to remove the outer coating; avoid using serrated teeth or low-quality tools that might fray the Kevlar core. When tying knots, ensure the line is moistened to prevent heat friction which can degrade the integrity of the braid. Store the spool in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the material. This hooklink is compatible with most standard carp terminal tackle, including coated-hooklink-friendly crimps and swivels.
