Sharnbrook Tackle Livebait Slider

WSF 04 January, 2009 11:03:00

Ever had the problem where fishing a live or large bait from the shore would be handy but you just can’t cast them far enough? Well we might just have found a solution! The Live bait Slider distributed in the UK by Sharnbrook Tackle is a nifty piece of kit designed to allow you to slide down live and larger baits once you’ve cast.

The concept is quite simple. If you know fish are holding in a certain area but the area is too far out to cast large baits, you simply cast out a standard weight as you would normally but without a trace. Once you have cast out and settled you attach your trace with your live or large deadbait to the Livebait slider and then attach this to the mainline. Lifting the rod tip will allow the slider to move down the line stopping at your pre-set stop. The makers claim that you can use the device from rock marks, piers, jetties and even from a boat when up tiding. 

The sliders are also attracting a following from big catfish specialists on the river Ebro, with anglers using the slider instead of rowing out larger baits to moored buoys. The slider streamlines the whole process of putting baits that are too large to cast out to where the fish are.

There are two versions of the Livebait slider, one weighted and another one un-weighted. Each Livebait slider measures around 3inches. The weighted model has a 10gram olive weight and extra weight can be added if necessarily. The sliders are made of sprung stainless steel and the newer models contain two swivels so that you can fish two baits together.

From the initial look of the device it looks very well made, using tough stainless steel throughout and quality swivels on either end of the slider, it looks rugged enough to tackle most fish that you are likely to catch from the shore in the UK.
