Korda Shrink Tube
Korda Shrink Tube
This Shrink Tube can be used to finish off rigs and increase their hooking potential by curving the hook link inwards, thus helping the hook to flip over once in the carp’s mouth. There are number of rigs which utilise Shrink Tube, with the line aligner being one of the most common. It is stiff enough that it will maintain its shape, but once a fish is hooked it will straighten so that no damage is done – unlike with an actual bent hook.
Our shrink tube comes in various sizes and colours:
Weed, Clay, Silt & Gravel, Medium 1.6mm - Weed also comes in XL
An extremely versitile end tackle component which can be used with any hook size and match to any lake bed you are fishing over.
Each pack contains eight 55mm lengths.
Korda Silicone Tube
Korda Silicone Tube
This Silicone Tube has a multitude of different uses, but the main one is holding the hair in place on your hook. It comes in 0.75mm – to ensure that it will fit any hook size and diameter of hair material, trapping it securely but sliding up the shank if it needs to once a fish is hooked. It is Weedy Green in colour and there is 1.5m of it in a pack.
The Tapered Sleeves are perfect for covering various clips - such as the Hooklink Clip, Kwik Link, and Stik Klip – which are used for attaching either your hook link or lead. These soft rubber sleeves have a rapidly tapering end to them, which helps to prevent tangles, both due to its shape and the fact that it will completely cover the clip, and any of the bits on a clip that make it more prone to causing tangles. The come in a choice of Weedy Green or Muddy Brown, and you get ten in a pack.
These tungsten impregnated Anti-Tangle Sleeves are part of our Dark Matter range, and are designed to help to kick your hook link away from the lead when it hits the bottom, and also to stop tangles during flight. The Dark Matter Tungsten Anti Tangle Sleeves are finely tapered and made from a supple rubber which can easily be pushed over a size 8 swivel, or similar hook link attachment, and are available in either a Short or Long version to cover any type of presentation or set-up. The rubber used to make these sleeves has been impregnated with a high level of tungsten, to help keep your rig nailed to the deck. Each pack contains eight sleeves.
Korda XT Snag Leader
Korda XT Snag Leader
The ‘XT’ stands for extra tough, and this monofilament leader materials is designed for us in extreme situations, particularly lending itself to use on large, snaggy European waters for big carp, where rigs are being dropped by boat rather than cast out. It is a great choice anywhere that braided leaders – like Arma-Kord – are banned, or where you want a bit more stretch. It also really comes into its own when fishing waters that have a lot of woodwork underwater, and whilst a braided leader can often cut into wood, increasing the chances of everything going solid, the thicker diameter of XT Snag Leader helps ensure that it runs across it instead or cutting, and increase your chances of landing the fish. There is a choice of breaking strains – 50lb (0.55mm) or 60lb (0.65mm) and it comes supplied on a 100m spool, which is designed to prevent more leader material than you actually need from coming unravelled – simply wind it straight off of the spool under tension.
