Product Information

Full details

The Gardner Rigwise Dissolving Rig Foam is designed for carp anglers who need to protect hook points from weed, prevent rig tangles during long-distance casts, and mark the position of their rig on the water's surface. This environmentally friendly, biodegradable foam is an essential utility for precise presentation, though users must monitor their attachment method carefully to control the desired dissolution speed in varying water temperatures.

FAQs

Is the foam safe for the environment?

Yes, the Gardner Rigwise foam is completely biodegradable and environmentally safe.

How much foam is in a pack?

Each pack contains approximately 50g of foam.

Can I use this with PVA bags?

While it can be used in conjunction with PVA, it is primarily designed for hooking directly onto the rig to prevent tangles and weed snagging.

Does the color affect the fish?

The white color is intended for high visibility for the angler; since it dissolves and leaves the area quickly, it does not negatively impact fish behavior.

Will this work in cold water?

Yes, but be aware that colder water may slightly slow the dissolution rate compared to warm summer water.

Troubleshooting

Foam dissolves too quickly upon impact

Use the 'lick and wrap' method to create a denser, tighter seal around the hook.

Foam keeps falling off during the cast

Ensure the hook point is firmly nicked through the center of the foam, or apply a slight amount of moisture to the foam to make it tacky before securing it to the hook.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Protects hook points from weed damage
Prevents rig tangles during flight
Acts as a visual surface marker for precision
Environmentally safe and biodegradable
Includes a handy session pot for bankside use

Cons

Requires manual attachment for each cast
Dissolve rate can vary depending on water temperature
Foam can be affected by high winds during casting if not attached securely

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the life of your supply, ensure the re-sealable bag is kept tightly closed when not in use, as the foam is sensitive to ambient moisture. The included 'session pot' should be filled with only the amount of foam needed for your immediate fishing session to prevent the rest of the bulk supply from being exposed to the elements.

There is no complex setup required. Simply take a nugget from the pot, apply it to the hook as described, and cast. Because it is a neutral white color, it provides high visibility against the water surface once it detaches, making it compatible with all standard carp rig setups, including bottom baits and pop-up presentations.
