Pro FL Feeder Gum 10m Clear Elastic Shock Absorber for Braid & Thin Hooklinks

Pro FL Feeder Gum is a clear, highly elastic feeder gum designed for anglers who fish with braided main line and thin hooklinks and want to cushion the violent lunges of hard-fighting fish. By introducing a controlled amount of stretch into the rig, it acts as a shock absorber that helps prevent hooklink breakages and hook pulls, particularly when targeting powerful species at close to medium range.

The gum is manufactured from a transparent, stretchy material that blends in with the water and is supplied in a practical 10 m length. This gives you plenty of material to cut to the length you require, whether you are building a short shock-absorbing section above the feeder or a longer elastic buffer for margin work. The clear finish keeps the rig looking subtle, which can be an advantage in clear or heavily pressured waters.

Feeder gum is a well-established component in modern feeder and method fishing. It is normally fitted between the main line and the hooklink, or incorporated into a running feeder rig, so that the elastic element takes the initial strain of a take and the surge of a running fish. This reduces the load on the hook hold and on the hooklink itself, helping you land more of the fish you hook.

The Pro FL Feeder Gum is available in three diameters to suit different situations and line strengths. The 0.60 mm version is the lightest option and is well suited to fine hooklinks and smaller feeder set-ups. The 0.80 mm diameter offers a good middle ground for general feeder work, while the 1.00 mm version provides the greatest strength and is a sensible choice when heavier hooklinks or larger fish are expected.

Because the gum is supplied on a 10 m length, it is easy to keep a stock in your tackle box and cut fresh sections as required. It can be used with a wide range of feeder rigs, including running feeders, inline feeders and method feeders, and is equally useful when fishing with braid, where the lack of stretch in the main line makes a shock absorber particularly valuable.

Whether you are targeting commercial carp, bream, tench or other hard-fighting coarse fish, the Pro FL Feeder Gum is a simple and effective way to protect your hooklinks and improve your hooking-to-landing ratio. Choose the diameter that matches your hooklink and the size of fish you expect, and cut a length to suit your rig.
