INOVA In-Zone Match URFE Link73mm, 35kg (3 Pack)

Overview

Overview

The INOVA In-Zone Match URFE Link is a specialist sea fishing rig component from INOVA Fishing, measuring 73mm and rated to 35kg (77lb), designed specifically for constructing Portuguese-style URFE rigs with long, flowing hooklengths.

Each link acts as a dedicated connection point, separating the mainline, lead and hook trace so anglers can build an effective flowing bait presentation without complicated rig construction from scratch.

Supplied in packs of three, these compact links are a useful addition to any sea angler's terminal tackle box, allowing several Portuguese-style rigs to be prepared in advance or spares carried to replace worn or damaged components during a session.

Perfect For

The INOVA Match URFE Link is particularly suited to shore anglers fishing coastal gutters, estuaries and tidal channels within close-to-medium casting range, where food tends to concentrate as the tide moves across the seabed.

The flowing hooklength arrangement this link enables can be useful when targeting bottom-feeding sea fish such as flounder, dabs and whiting, depending on the ground type, location and season - though the hook size, bait and chosen mark matter just as much as the rig itself.

It's also a handy option for shore match anglers who want to prepare several specialist single-hook rigs quickly, as an alternative to a conventional multi-hook flapper or pulley rig.

Technical Insight

Unlike a conventional flapper rig, where the hooklength branches above the lead, the Portuguese-style URFE arrangement this link creates allows a long trace to flow naturally with the movement of the tide below the lead connection.

This can give the bait more freedom of movement along the seabed, though the ideal hooklength length depends on tidal flow, casting requirements and the risk of tangling - longer isn't automatically better in strong currents or on rough ground.

The stated 35kg/77lb rating applies to the link itself and shouldn't be read as a maximum casting weight for the complete rig; the mainline, shock leader, hooklength, knots and swivels used alongside it all contribute to the overall strength and safe casting weight of the finished setup.
