Far Beyond Functional - Exquisite Engineering With the Finest Materials.

Our Universal Snag Ears are the outcome of designing without limits on manufacturability or material costs. We’re far past ticking the box of keeping your carp rod on your bite alarm no matter how ferocious the bite. With this range we’re firmly in the realm of special carp fishing setups. 

Carbon Fibre

Our carbon snag ears are not your typical plain black carbon rod, they are 3k twill woven motorsport grade carbon, chosen to match ultra high-end carp rods and carbon bankware. With a mix of unidirectional, angled and woven layers for ultimate strength, they’re a higher grade of carbon than most rods.

Removable Ears

By popular demand, this version has removable ears to make pack down easier and to allow you to tailor your setup to the fishing scenario. Our intention was to maintain the incredible durability of our fixed snag ears, which we have achieved by integrating a stainless steel M4 thread into the end of our carbon fibre snag ears, taking a carbon-to-steel assembly approach learned from motorsport engineering. The ears threads in to a durable and corrosion resistant brass thread in the snag ear body.

Customisation 

Making the ears removable allowed us to add another flash of colour for you to personalise your setup. Choose from the drop down list to match your snag ears to your preffered LED colours.

Sizes 

• Small - 100mm Snag Ears for ATTs bite alarms and similarly sized alarms
• Large - 120mm Snag Ears for Delkim EV, Delkim TXI, Fox Micron, Fox MX, Steve Neville, Nash, Edwards Custom Upgrades and similar sized alarms 
• Extra Large - 140mm Snag Ears for the Wolf Icon Qi and similar (or, if you just like the look of long ears!)

Fluorotopes

Each set can house two 3mm x 10mm isotopes on the base. We offer Fluorotopes as a cost effective alternative to Isotopes. Fluorotopes and Isotopes are not the same. Isotopes glow dim for decades. Fluorotopes are charged by light exposure and glow bright initially, and fade to a dim glow over the first 30 mins, after which, their visibility depends on how dark it is. The beauty of Fluorotopes is that a bright headtorch (or even better, a UV torch) charges them in seconds. We want you to make the right decision here, so if you want them to glow all night, buy Isotopes. If you want to fill the slots for a quarter of the price and have a pleasing, but short lived glow, give Fluorotopes a go! 

Convenience, durability, performance 

• Whichever snag ear material you choose, they’re fitted to a beautifully engineered carbon fibre reinforced polymer base to allow installation on any alarm and bankstick combination
• Bobbins/hangers attach using the 2BA thread on the underside of the snag ear base (standard bobbin/hanger thread size) 
• The highest possible material grades used throughout 
• Ultimate confidence in keeping your rods on your alarms, in all cases
• Sized to fit all popular bite alarms

Keeping your Carp Rods on your Bite Alarms

You could argue that you don’t need motorsport grade carbon fibre to keep your rods on your alarms, but snag ears are necessary for a number of carp fishing scenarios. Even on bite alarms with tall ears such as ATTs, Fox RX, Fox MX, Fox Mini Micron X and similar, rods can easily come off the alarms in these scenarios: 

• Bounce - fishing close in, erratic bites where the carp turns close in and ‘plucks’ the line with its body can bounce rods off rests 
• BIG fish - fishing locked up to a snag, a small 10lb carp can put serious strain on your tackle, but if you’re catching 30lb+ carp or big catfish, you need snag ears you can trust. We recently had a 60lb cat pull the rear auger point bankstick out of a hard packed bank when fishing fully locked up, before we could even get a hand on the rod. The snag ears were the only thing that stopped the rod going in the lake
• Low tips on shallow lakes - Sometimes fishing low tips is necessary due to bankside vegetation, birds, and stealth. It is these scenarios where the rod can lift off the alarm and disaster follows if there is nothing to stop it. 
• Butt grips give up - Snag fishing is tense, risky, and deserves redundancy. If your rod comes out of your butt grips, which they often do when wet, your snag ears are your last line of defence to snag your reel and stop your rod from going in the lake. 

Additional Tips for Snag Fishing 

• Try to avoid fishing with your line exiting the tip at 90 degrees
• Use long bank sticks for deeper ground penetration, but keep them low to avoid the risk of rod bounce 
• Use bankstick stabilisers in soft ground 
• Auger point banksticks can dig deeper and hold firmer
• Bite alarms with rubber inlays where the rod contacts are surprisingly effective 
• Butt grips that you can trust are a must 

Additional Tips for a Great Looking Setup 

• Match your materials. All black and carbon setup? Go with Carbon Snag Ears 
• Carbon banksticks with stainless fittings? Our Stainless snag ears look great on these set-ups, but the carbon fibre snag ears save a lot of weight!
• TItanium bankware? Then our titanium snag ears are a must. 
• Stainless setup but worried about weight? Our titanium snag ears will be a great match
• Match your bobbins. There are loads of independent custom bobbin makers who can match materials and styles to any set-up. SUpport independent carp tackle businesses!
