Product Information
Full details
RidgeMonkey Connexion The Floss is designed for carp anglers who demand precision in their hookbait presentation, specifically when using pop-ups and cork balls. This 50m spool of waxed, high-strength floss allows you to securely attach baits to your rig without piercing them, thereby preserving their buoyancy and attraction. While it offers excellent grip and a discreet finish, it requires a bit of practice and the use of a lighter or heating tool to achieve the ideal transparent, locked-in presentation.

FAQs
Does this floss affect the scent of the bait?
No, the floss is inert and specifically designed for fishing applications, so it will not introduce any foreign odors to your hookbait.
Can I use this for bottom baits?
While designed primarily for pop-ups, it can be used for bottom baits if you want a secure mounting method that avoids piercing.
How close should I hold the flame?
Hold the flame approximately 2-3cm away from the floss and use a sweeping motion until you see the color change.
Will the heat damage my pop-ups?
If done correctly with a quick motion, the ambient heat will not damage the boilie or impact its structural integrity.
Is the floss biodegradable?
The floss is a synthetic material designed for durability; always ensure you dispose of any off-cuts in a bin rather than leaving them on the bank.
Do I need the EzeeKnot tool?
It is not strictly required, but it is highly recommended for achieving a professional, secure knot every time.
Troubleshooting
The floss slips off the bait after casting
Ensure you are pulling the knot tight enough to bite into the surface of the bait and apply slightly more heat to shrink the floss securely.
The floss snaps during the heating process
Keep the flame further away from the floss; it only requires ambient heat to shrink and turn transparent, not direct contact with the fire.
Knot comes undone before finishing
Use the EzeeKnot Hookbait Tyer to ensure the tension is distributed evenly, or add a small drop of bait-safe adhesive if using particularly hard boilies.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Maintains bait buoyancy by avoiding physical piercing
- High-grip waxed finish prevents slippage
- Turns transparent when heated for a discreet presentation
- Great value with 50m of material per spool
Cons
- Requires an open flame or heat source to finish properly
- Can be difficult to tie perfectly without the EzeeKnot tool
- Requires a steady hand for the heat-sealing process
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your bait, place the pop-up in the center of a loop of the floss. Use the EzeeKnot Hookbait Tyer to tighten the loop until it bites into the skin of the bait. Ensure the knot is positioned securely before applying heat. Always store the spool in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the wax from melting or becoming tacky. Keep the spool inside your tackle box to prevent the edges of the floss from fraying during transport.
