Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the buoyant element?

The buoyant element lifts the boom off the lakebed, reducing resistance and improving bite detection, especially for shy biters.

Can I use this in strong currents?

While it's designed for minimal resistance, strong currents might still affect its performance. It is best suited for slower moving water or still fishing.

What species is this boom best for?

It is ideal for species known for shy biting, such as bream, skimmers, tench, and some types of perch, where sensitive bite indication is crucial.

How do I attach it to my rig?

The main line passes through the boom. The boom itself typically connects to a swivel which then attaches to your hooklength. The buoyant element should be positioned to lift the boom.

Does the smokescreen coating affect its durability?

No, the smokescreen coating is designed to be durable and resistant to abrasion during fishing.

Can I use this with a PVA bag setup?

Yes, it can be incorporated into many ledgering setups, including those used with PVA bags, provided the rig allows for free line movement.

Troubleshooting

Line not running freely through the boom

Ensure the boom is not twisted and that the main line is not snagged on any part of the rig. Check that the swivel is clean and rotating freely.

Boom not sitting correctly

Verify that the buoyant element is correctly positioned and providing adequate lift. Ensure the rig is balanced and not overly heavy, which could counteract the buoyancy.

Reduced bite indication

Confirm the boom is free from debris and the line can pass unimpeded. Make sure the overall rig is not too stiff or resistant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Smokescreen Buoyant Ledger Boom is designed to be incorporated into your existing rig. Typically, the main line passes through the boom, and the boom itself is attached to a swivel that connects to your hooklength. The buoyant element should sit above the main line connection point to lift the boom. Ensure the boom is positioned correctly so the line can run freely.

Compatibility: This product is compatible with most standard leadcore leaders, monofilament, and braided mainlines. It works well with various feeder types and lead arrangements used in ledgering.

Care: After use, rinse the boom with fresh water to remove any silt or debris. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Check the buoyant element and swivel for any signs of damage before each use.
