ESP Tackle – Premium Carp Gear from ESP at CPS Tackle

ESP Tackle has a reputation as one of the most respected brands in carp fishing, built on years of bankside experience and rigorous field testing. Terry Hearn's sixth sense for finding difficult carp inspired the name – Extra Sensory Perception – and that intuitive understanding of what serious carp anglers need delivers the performance you can count on. At CPS Tackle, we stock a wide selection of ESP carp gear; everything from trusted rigs to precision-engineered rods.

About the ESP Brand

Launched in early 1999, ESP quickly became a go-to name in carp fishing. The brand’s ethos is rooted in developing practical, well-engineered gear that solves real problems on the bank. Starting with the groundbreaking T-6 and G-4 hook patterns with ultra-fine needle points sharper than anything available at the time, ESP set a new standard for terminal tackle. ESP Tackle has earned a loyal following among anglers who value dependable kit backed by years of experience and testing. Their 2001 Big-T hook introduced PTFE coating to mainstream carp fishing, setting a new standard that the entire industry followed. 

Why Anglers Choose ESP

The products are designed by anglers for anglers, and ESP carp gear is trusted for its consistency. For carp anglers, consistency means confidence – knowing that every part of your setup will perform under pressure. Known for its innovation, the brand has consistently delivered tackle that meets the demands of modern anglers. From in-house CAD design to their own UK plastics factory, every ESP product is purpose-built to meet exacting specifications. Take their Cryogen hook range, for example – they undergo Formula One-grade tempering processes and are 25-30% stronger than conventional PTFE-coated carp hooks.
