Product Information
Full details
The Pikepro Anti-Tangle Boom X5 is an essential terminal tackle accessory designed for dedicated pike anglers who frequently cast large deadbaits and heavy leads. By creating a physical separation between the trace swivel and the lead, this boom significantly reduces tangles and protects your line from wear, though it requires specific pairing with compatible run rings to achieve maximum effectiveness.

FAQs
Do I need special swivels to use the Anti-Tangle Boom?
The boom is designed to work with standard trace swivels commonly used in pike angling.
Can I use this for other types of fishing?
While designed for pike fishing with deadbaits, the principle can work for any ledger-style fishing requiring heavy weights.
Does this create a fixed rig or a running rig?
It is designed specifically for a running rig to ensure the pike feels minimal resistance when picking up the bait.
How often should I replace these booms?
Inspect them after every trip; replace them if there are signs of physical stress, cracking, or if the attachment points have become loose.
Is it compatible with all lead sizes?
It is compatible with most standard heavy ledger weights used in pike fishing, provided the run ring fits the weight correctly.
Troubleshooting
Rig continues to tangle during long casts
Ensure you are using a smooth, controlled casting motion and double-check that the boom is properly seated on the run ring.
The boom is showing signs of fatigue or bending
Replace the boom immediately if it becomes bent or deformed, as damage can create weak points that lead to casting failures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rig, thread your main line through a PikePro Run Ring, then attach the PikePro Anti-Tangle Boom to the swivel on your trace. For the best performance, ensure the boom is firmly attached to allow for a free-running setup. After each session, inspect the boom for any signs of surface abrasion or bends that could compromise its structural integrity. Rinse the components in fresh water if you have been fishing in saltwater or silty conditions to prevent debris buildup inside the pivot points, and store them in a cool, dry place to maintain the material quality.
