FAQs
Does this hooklink need to be steamed to lay straight?
No, the Basix Coated Hooklink is designed to lay straight on the lakebed without the need for steaming.
Can I use this for pop-up rigs?
Yes, it is highly effective for pop-up rigs, especially if you strip a small section near the hook to increase movement.
What is the length of the spool?
Each spool contains 10 meters of hooklink material.
Is the coating difficult to strip?
The coating is designed to be easily stripped back using a standard stripping tool or fingernails.
Will this work with a standard knot like a Grinner or Knotless knot?
Yes, it is designed to maintain high strength with all conventional fishing knots.
Troubleshooting
Outer coating bunching during knot tying
Ensure you are using a smooth, steady pull when tightening your knots and lubricate the line before pulling tight.
Rig not laying flat on the bottom
Add a small piece of tungsten putty or a dedicated sinker to the hooklink to ensure it stays pinned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, use a sharp stripping tool or a pair of scissors to carefully remove the outer coating when creating hinges. Ensure you test your knot security after tying to confirm the braid has not kinked during the process. Store the spool away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the material. When using with pop-ups, ensure you have sufficient counter-weighting on the line to keep the rig pinned to the lakebed.
