• As seen on Korda Underwater
• Created from pure tungsten
• Exceptional density-to-volume ratio
• Rubber moulding holds shot in place
• Three sizes available

Since featuring on the Korda Underwater series filmed at Norton Disney, the buzz around these Shot on the Hook weights has been immense and there’s been a massive resurgence around the use of this rig since the film was launched.

The Shot on the Hook improves the hooking potential of any wafter, bottom bait or snowman rig, essentially creating a heavier point to enable the hook to grab hold, ensuring quick and efficient hook holds, turning more pick-ups in to bites.

These hook attachments are created from pure tungsten, which provides an exceptional density-to-volume ratio. This high density, pure tungsten allowed us to achieve substantial weight while using minimal material, creating a compact yet appropriately weighted Shot on the Hook.

This reusable pure tungsten shot can be used over and over. It features a small rubber moulding that fits over the hook point to secure your shot in place. When it's time to switch hooks, simply slide it off if you're using barbless hooks, or if you're using barbed hooks, crush the barb first before removing.

Danny Fairbrass “Nothing in recent years has made more difference to my bottom bait catch rate. I wanted to rush it out, but Damian and the product team out voted me to make something ‘special’. I’m very pleased to be overruled on this occasion as the end result is an easy to use and re use product that suits any kind of bottom bait or wafter rig, from plastic corn on a size 8 to a 24mm boilie on a size 2.”

The Shot on the Hook comes in three sizes; 0.30g, 0.40g and 0.50g and are supplied in a convenient slide top storage compartment to keep them safe and secure in your tackle box, with ten shot per packet.

DF's Insight: I would personally recommend the small 0.3g version for hook sizes 8, 6 and 4 with small baits up to 14mm. For slightly bigger baits of around 16-18mm and hook sizes 6, 4 and 2 my choice would the 0.4g Shot on the Hook.

For those anglers using larger hooks and big baits of 20 and 24mm diameter we’ve got the 0.5g version. The idea is that the lighter the bait the less force the carp will use to suck them in. Using the lighter shot will give it more opportunity to get in the fish's mouth.
