Product Information
Full details
The ESP Fusion Boom Combi Rig is designed for dedicated carp anglers seeking a professional-grade solution for advanced presentations. Its primary benefit is the 0.5mm fused fluorocarbon material, which provides the stiffness required to push hookbaits away from the lead, ensuring optimal hooking efficiency and a tangle-free setup. While it excels in performance, users should note that the 7-inch fixed length requires specific terminal tackle matching to achieve the best results on the lakebed.

FAQs
Can I use this with pop-ups?
Yes, it is excellent for Ronnie rigs with pop-ups when using appropriate counter-weighting.
Does it need extra putty?
Generally no, the fluorocarbon is heavy enough to pin to the lakebed on its own.
What is the breaking strain?
The boom has a breaking strain of over 30lb.
Can I trim the boom to be shorter?
Trimming is not recommended as it will disrupt the fused properties and the loop connection.
What size hook should I use?
It is versatile, but most anglers pair it with sizes 4 to 8 depending on the specific rig configuration.
Is the fluorocarbon stiff or supple?
It is rated as 'super stiff' to ensure the hookbait is pushed away effectively.
Troubleshooting
Rig is tangling during the cast
Ensure the Streamliner sleeve is properly seated over the swivel and check that your lead setup is aerodynamic.
Hookbait is not sitting correctly on the bottom
Verify the buoyancy of your bait; if using a wafter, ensure the weight of the hook is sufficient to pin the boom down.
Kink in the fluorocarbon boom
Hold the boom over steam carefully for a few seconds and gently pull it straight to remove unwanted memory.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-stiffness material prevents tangles
- Virtually invisible in the water column
- Sinks naturally without extra weights
- Excellent for Ronnie or spinner rig configurations
- High breaking strain for reliability
Cons
- Fixed 7-inch length limits adjustment options
- Fluorocarbon can be difficult to knot if not performed correctly
- Requires specific terminal tackle like Quick Change D-sleeves
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rig, simply attach the loop end of the boom to your quick-change swivel using the provided Streamliner sleeve to keep the connection secure and streamlined. When pairing with your hook section, ensure you are using compatible components like shrink tube or ESP Quick Change D-sleeves to maintain the integrity of the combi-link.
Care instructions include:
- Inspect the fluorocarbon for nicks or abrasions after every landed fish.
- Store rigs flat in a dedicated rig wallet to prevent the material from taking a 'set' or kink.
- Avoid over-stretching the boom material, as this can weaken the fused integrity.
- Clean the boom with a damp cloth after fishing in silty or muddy waters to maintain its invisibility.
