Centro - Loop Protector (Coated Spring)
Game fishermen know that the loop connection is the critical failure point in any heavy-tackle rig. The Centro Loop Protector provides a flexible, vinyl-coated stainless steel 'armour' that shields monofilament leaders from friction, preventing chafe-induced break-offs during long fights with New Zealand kingfish and marlin.
Sales Tips:
Benefit: Unlike rigid plastic thimbles which can shatter under extreme compression or restrict lure movement, these flexible springs absorb shock and allow hooks to swing freely while maintaining 100% chafe protection.
How to Use: Slide the spring over the leader before crimping. Cut to the exact length required using side cutters, ensuring the coil ends are flush to prevent snagging the line.
Retailer Value Proposition:
- Authority: Essential terminal tackle for serious game fishing and deep-drop Hapuka rigs.
- Velocity: High-turnover consumable; anglers replace these with every new rig build.
- Stock Advantage:Centro maintain deep, NZ-based inventory levels ensuring overnight replenishment with few backorder gaps.
Technical Dimensions:
- Material: Stainless Steel Spring Core
- Coating: Heavy-duty Vinyl (protects mono from internal abrasion)
- Format: Continuous coil or pre-cut (depending on pack)
