The range on Interceptor Controller Floats is designed to cover any surface fishing situation you might find yourself in, from under the rod tip all the way out to long range. They are super buoyant, with a buoyant stem to ensure that they lay flat on the surface and don’t spook fish, and the opaque white colour also helps with this from below the surface – whilst also allowing you to easily spot them above the surface and keep track of where your rig is. One very useful feature is the ease with which you can change the size of controller you’re using, as they’re designed so that a QC Ring Swivel neatly fits into the rubber insert in the nose of the controller, and your main line can be attached to this via a figure-of-eight loop. Simply detach your main line from the QC Ring Swivel, slide off the controller, and thread on a different sized one – this is particularly useful if the range at which the fish are feeding at suddenly changes, such as when your floaters drift on the wind.  The 15g and 30g floats are great all-rounders, and for anything at longer range, the 50g Interceptors are ideal.

Never before has carp fishing seen such an aerodynamic, long-distance bait rocket. This will put yards on your spodding capability and in the hands of any good caster 150 yards is easily possible. It has a tapered design making it nose-heavy for a streamlined flight. This truly will become recognised as the ultimate long-distance spod. Its curved fins give it true stability in flight and help keep it in the air for as long as possible. Like the Skyliner, the Skyraider also has the large-profile holes making it just as quick to empty, and as easy to retrieve. As with all our spods, we recommend you mix in some groundbait or pellets into your mix. This will enable you to compact the mix into the spod to eliminate any spillage.

These Silicone Sleeves were originally part of our Running Rig Kits and are designed to cover the swivel and wire loop on a lead, but due to demand we started selling them separately. Used in this way they will make any rig neater and also help to prevent tangles. If cut down shorter these Silicone Sleeves are also perfect for covering our Kwik Links and Stik Klips. They are made from very durable silicone tubing in a Weedy Green colour, and you get 20 in a pack.

The Heli-Safe Tubing Kit enables you to overcome Leadcore and Leaders bans by allowing you to fish a helicopter style of rig using rig tubing. This conversion kit allows the Heli-Safe System to be used with tubing whilst retaining all of the usual features of a traditional helicopter set-up and giving you the ability to drop the lead if you need to.

As you know, helicopter set-ups have great anti-tangle properties, you’re able to cast them a long way and they allow the top bead (recently update to a on this kit) to be set to determine how the hook link settles on the bottom. 

For those of you that don’t use heli type rigs… you can basically adjust the bead to allow for what your rig is landing on. If it’s on a hard bottom the distance can be short, low lying weed the distance can be increased and for something like deep silt it can be pushed right up, allowing the lead to plug into the silt but leave the rig to settle on top.

The solution to the problem may look very simple, but a lot of thought and testing has gone into getting the Heli-Safe Tubing Kit just right, so that it performs in the intended way in terms of still dropping the lead.

INCLUDE THIS WITH THE ABILITY TO TAKE IT OUT

We did initially release this product back in 2018 but after it come to our attention that some of the Tungsten Beads – designed to fit snugly onto rig tube had suffered an issue during the manufacturing process. They were too tight when used on Dark Matter Rig Tube, creating a potential safety issue with the setup. We removed the product from shelves as a precautionary measure as our priority has always been to ensure carp remain safe with anglers when using our products. We have since replaced the tungsten bead with a silicone sleeve combined with our brilliant No Trace Bead.

This small plug is known as a ‘witch’s hat’ and is located inside the Heli-Safe, it’s part of the very clever design and holds the tubing in place. When used in conjunction with an adapted Heli-Safe ‘cap’, featuring a hard plastic ‘tail’, this ensures that the tubing can’t come loose and that the system works as it was originally intended to. The ‘witch’s hat’ is the cleverest part of this product, as it holds the tubing securely in place… it can be used with either our Dark Matter tungsten or plastic Kamo rig tubing.

The Heli-Safe Tubing Kit is sold in packs that include everything that you need for two complete set-ups (excluding the tubing). They also come in a choice of brown or green to match the lakebed.

The Mini Heli-Safe is a scaled down, compact version of the original and retains all of the features that helped to make it such a huge success… plus a few more. 

It still works in exactly the same way, which was revolutionary when the Heli-Safe first hit the market. We were able to arm anglers with a way to fish any helicopter style presentation, but with the ability to drop the lead as soon as a fish was hooked. This was a massive advantage in weedy or snaggy situations, or when using set-ups such as chod rigs. 

The Heli-Safe also allowed anglers to fish in this way quickly and effectively, simply by attaching a lead to the system, and the product did the rest, releasing the lead as soon as your hook link swivel pulled against the top of the bead. Technology has moved on since then, and we have managed to make the system much smaller, which not only makes it less obtrusive on the lake bed; but also reduces drag through the air and will improve your distance when fishing at extreme range; as well as making it less likely to get caught in weed or snags during the fight, once the lead has been jettisoned. 

This ingenious system revolutionised fishing with helicopter rigs, as it meant that leads could consistently be discharged as soon as you hooked a fish, whenever the situation meant that this was essential. As well as dropping the lead when you are fishing in very weedy or snaggy situations, it is also popular with anyone using a chod rig, where ejecting the lead increases your chances of landing a fish, especially at long range where a heavy lead is being used. There is also the option though to fit a small plastic collar (supplied) which fixes the lead in place, for use in situations where dropping it isn’t necessary, but you still want the versatility that the Heli-Safe System offers. It can be used in conjunction with leaders – such as any ring swivel leader in our Dark Matter or Kable Leadcore ranges, which can be adapted to fit the Heli-Safe bead – or with a naked set-up with your main line straight through to it. Heli-Safe System works perfectly in conjunction with our Leadcore Chod Safety or Naked Chod Safety systems. Each pack contains two Heli-Safe beads, in a choice of green or brown, along with all the bits you need to make it work – including instructions.

Adjustable zigs are an incredibly effective way of fishing this method as they allow you to vary the depth that they are set at without the need to recast, and when fishing them a long way off of the bottom they make it far easier to land a fish, and cast out, than with a traditional zig.

The Zig Kit includes everything that you need to set up the perfect adjustable zig and to fish it in an effective and tangle-free way. The precision, blow-moulded inline float features a soft rubber insert which holds a size 11 QC Swivel, and it also comes with an anti-tangle sleeve supplied – this allows you to ensure that your hook link isn’t twisted at all before you cast out, and this is essential to ensure that it works properly once it is in the water.

The Zig Kit also comes supplied with a stem to attach your lead to and which allows the float to easily be popped up and adjusted as desired. The stem is constructed features a large ring to allow your main line to run through it freely and a foam polyball to keep this ring clear of any debris on the bottom, and at the other end of it is a ball bearing swivel with a Kwik Link, which allows rapid rotation and helps prevent tangles.

All you need to add is a hook length and bait, and a piece of dissolvable foam, and you’re ready to cast out! Two different sizes are available – medium and large – so that the Zig Kit can be used at any range.

Each kit contains a Zig Float, Anti Tangle Sleeve, Size 11 QC Swivel and lead boom.

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.

This clever bead is aimed specifically at anglers who are fishing naked chod rigs and has been designed to protect your line during the fight. The Liner Saver Bead is made from tungsten impregnated rubber, to ensure it sits flush to the lakebed, and is designed to be used as the bead closest to your lead when using a naked chod. Its tapered design means that your hook link swivel will sit against the bead when you cast, but is still free to fly up your line to your upper bead during flight, but when a fish is hook it will slide back down to the thicker end of the Line Saver Bead, with the tapered part providing your main line with protection from damage – as compared to the swivel directly rubbing against your line during a fight. They come supplied on wire loops attached to a plastic toggle, which makes the Line Saver Bead very easy to thread onto your main line. There are eight in a packet.

This has been designed for a multitude of uses. Its unique shape helps to prevent tangles and the cavity at the narrower end will hold a size 8 swivel securely within it. The Shok Bead is ideal for running rigs, marker floats or any set up that requires a buffer bead, and it comes in a low-viz green colour. Pack of 15.

A lot of modern rigs involve tying your bait onto a rig ring or micro swivel with Bait Floss, and this can be fiddly, especially in the dark or with cold fingers. Floss Caps remove all the hassle from attaching your bait though, as you simply thread one on to the tag ends of Bait Floss - once you’ve used a baiting needle to mount your hookbait on the floss – push it into the bait until it sits flush to it, and then user a lighter to blob the ends of the floss to hold the Floss Cap securely in place. 

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.

The Hook Bead is useful for a wide range of different rigs – pretty much anything where a rig ring or micro swivel is used on the hook! Although this is a very simple item of tackle, a lot of thought has gone into making the Hook Bead as perfect as it can be. They grip incredibly well and you can rest assured that they will remain exactly where you have positioned them without the need for any glue, but once a fish is hooked they will slide round to the eye if necessary. The tapered shape with a flat end ensures that a ring or swivel will sit flush to them and can’t get stuck in place or effect its ability to freely slide up and down the hook as you require. They come attached to a central stem – with ten Hook Beads per stem – which makes it very easy to slide them onto the hook, even with cold fingers, and then simply pull the individual bead away from the stem once it is in place. A large version is also available and is designed for use with larger sized hooks and will more easily fit over the barb. They will fit any hook in the Korda range from size 2-10, and you get 20 of them in a packet. 

Our specially designed High Grip Hook Beads are made with an increased surface area which means a large percentage of the bead is in contact with the shank of the hook. This design feature ensures that the High Grip Hook Bead will not slip when using large hook baits at long range. The slick tapered shape of the bead allows it to remain as small as possible whilst maintaining its grip strength. 

The Medium size is designed to trap a Medium Micro Ring Swivel (or Medium) Bait Screw Swivel) on the hook shank for a variety of rig presentation.

The Large High Grip Hook Bead is ideal for those who use heavier gauge hooks or bigger patterns such as size 1 and 2. The larger diameter core will slide over these bigger, heavier hooks with ease and trap a Large Micro Ring Swivel in place.

Come in packs of 20 and in a subtle transparent green colour.

Changing your hookbait has never been simpler, thanks to our Bait Screw Swivel which allows it to be done in seconds, and it compatible with many of the most popular rigs. They can be used on any rig as a substitute for a ring or micro ring swivel, including the spinner rig and IQ D-rig. They can be used with both bottom baits and pop-ups, and are simply screwed into the bait in a clockwise direction, and have the surface area to ensure that the boilie stays on during the cast. There is a choice of medium or large versions. You get five per packet.

The ability to quick change your rig components has never been so popular in modern day carp fishing. The prominence of the spinner-style quick change mechanism is one of the reasons why that particular rig set-up is extremely prevalent in the modern-day carp scene.

These Hook Klips incorporate those same QC features but transpose them to many other styles of rig. Whether that’s a Blowback Rig for bottom baits or IQ D rig for wafters, these small metal latches make changing your hook quickly, an extremely easy process, whilst maintaining the mechanics of your chosen rig. 

The eye of the Hook Klip is situated in the direction of the kicker to allow it to be pushed over without tearing and will sit discreetly out of sight. When the time comes to change your hook, simply slide back the kicker and unclip the old hook and replace with a new one.

Hook Klips are extremely durable, with a black nickel-plated coating. They can be used with monofilament or braid, making them the perfect addition to a multitude of rigs uses.

Come supplied in packs of 10.

This really is a multi-purpose link, which allows you to change hook links or leads in the blink of an eye. The shape of the clip makes it very easy to attach and detach things such as leads, swivels or hook link looks, even with cold hands or in the dark. Use a Tapered Sleeve, or similar, over it for a neater, more secure finish, especially when using to attach a hook link. The Kwik Link has a non-reflective finish. Available in small or extra small sizes, in a pack of 20.

PVA sticks are a great way of presenting your hookbait amongst a small patch of attraction, as well as ensuring your rig isn’t tangled - and are a favourite of Danny Fairbrass. The Stik Klip makes this style of fishing very quick and easy, as detaching, adding a PVA stick, and reattaching your hook link can be done in a matter of seconds. It is suggested that a silicon sleeve or Anti Tangle Sleeve is used to cover the Stik Klip for a neater presentation. Available in small and medium sizes, with 20 to a pack.

The Ring Klip has been specially designed for the easy attachment of hook links. The unique design allows greater movement thanks to the ring section of the clip. It can be easily attached to a swivel and used with a lead clip, or fished between two beads on a helicopter-style set-up. They come in packs of 20.

These have been designed to replace the need for a loop knot in the end of your hook link when using any of our quick-change links, such as Stik Klips and Kwik Links. These teardrop-shaped metal loops make it very easy to change hook link, and are of a size that can easily be pulled through a PVA stick with a baiting needle. The Link Loops are finished with a non-reflective coating and come in packs of 15.

Spare sleeves for securing No-Trace Bead.

The full No-Trace System (sold separately) creates a completely safe set up for use on leadcore and similar diameter leader materials such as the fused Dark Matter range.

Specifically designed, that should your main line break above the leader knot, your hook link can easily come free from the leader and all the fish is left with is the hooklink, rather than towing around a leader, or worst still a lead as well.

No-Trace Beads are pulled free from this retaining rubber Chod Sleeve, which until required to release, holds everything securely in place on the leader for casting and normal use

Spare No-Trace Beads and Leadcore Safety System are also sold separately.

The naked chod rig, fished directly on your main line, is an incredibly effective set-up, especially when you don’t want to disturb fish already in front of you, but can’t be sure that it is clear on the bottom, as your hookbait will always be presented in a way that it can be taken by a carp, even if it lands on weed. It is less obtrusive than one involving a leader, and is also the perfect choice on waters where leaders are banned.

The Micro Ring Swivel is the perfect choice for any rig where your hook bait is sliding on the hook shank, as it is very neat whilst still giving plenty of freedom of movement. These swivels work perfectly in conjunction with our Hook Beads, and allow more movement than a Rig Ring will do, as well as giving slightly more separation between the bait and hook. They have a dull finish to make them as unobtrusive as possible. The Swivel is equivalent to a size 20, packet contains ten Micro Ring Swivels. 

This hook has been specifically designed for use with stiff hook links and rig presentations such as the chod rig or hinged stiff rig, but it can also be used with other pop-up presentations as well. It has an out-turned eye, to help give a continuous curve from the hook link to the hook when using stiff presentations, and the rest of its shape is based upon the iconic Wide Gape pattern, albeit in a slightly thicker wire. It is an incredibly strong hook, as Darrell Peck will attest to, having caught carp to over 70lb on the size 8 version. The slightly curved point is very sharp, and the barb is of a size that doesn’t hinder penetration, but once in, helps the hook stay securely in place. The Choddy comes in barbed and barbless versions, in a choice of size 12, 10, 8, 6 or 4, with ten hooks in each pack.

The humble swivel completes the whole rig set up and since it is almost the last connection between you and the carp, it needs to be reliable. These very strong and reliable round-eyed swivels come from Japan, and have a lovely dull grey finish to them. They are compatible with all of the other Korda rig bits, perfectly fitting the Lead Clips, Inline Lead and Shok Beads, amongst other items. They come in a pack of 20.

The Quick Change Ring Swivel has been specifically designed for use with any helicopter set-up, to allow you to easily change your hook link. There are two different sizes of QC Ring Swivel available – size 8 or size 11 – with the ring end being designed to be threaded onto whatever type of leader you’re using for your helicopter rig, or your main line if you’re using a naked set-up. Your hook link can then easily be attached or detached from the clip as long as you use a rig with a loop at the end of it, and everything can be held neatly in place with a Dark Matter Anti Tangle Sleeve, or similar. The QC Ring Swivels are finished with a non-reflective coating, and each packet contains eight swivels. 

These swivels have one very large round eye and one normal size one and, as with all our swivels, they come from the best Japanese manufacturers and have our trademark 'anti glint' dull-grey finish. They have three major uses. Firstly, they make very smooth running rigs when used as a replacement to the swivels found on the top of our leads. They were originally designed as part of the Running Rig Kits. But, after too many enquiries to mention, we had to add them to the range. The second obvious use is for helicopter rigs. The large eye will rotate better if a large bead is used, whereas a smaller swivel would bump around the larger beads circumference. In other words, the large eye will slide effortlessly around it. They can also be used at the top of a link for the marker float - the large eye will allow the line to pull through that bit easier than a standard swivel. Pack of 10.

From bait attachment, to combi-rig construction, the Micro Rig Swivel has a host of rig applications, but this tiny swivel is most widely used sliding on the shank of a hook, forming the blow-back element of many rigs and adding additional movement to the hookbait. Crucially, it has the same non-reflective coating that our other rig components are blessed with, eliminating any glint that might otherwise spook feeding fish.

• Size 20 rig swivel
• Ideal for bait attachment
• Can be used for combi rigs
• Non-reflective coating

The Spinner Ring Swivel has been specifically designed for use with spinner rigs and does away with the need to make do with other types of swivels which aren’t made for that purpose. 

Previously using a spinner rig often involved having to use a pair of pliers to open up a QC Swivel or similar and jam the hook onto it, but these have a crooked shape opening which the hook can easily be slid onto, and then a piece of shrink tubing or Kicker is used to cover the connection and keep everything in place and sitting at the right angle. 

This size 11 swivel also helps to create very neat spinner boom sections, with the ring at the other end of it giving plenty of movement and allowing you to crimp tightly to it, or if you’re using more supple materials which are being tied directly to the ring. 

This is the perfect choice for anybody who want less metalware on their spinner rigs. The Spinner Swivel comes in size 11 and simply features a crook on one side of it, onto which the eye of your hook can easily be located and held in place with a Kicker. The other end has a normal swivel eye which a loop of Boom material can easily be crimped to. This simplifies everything and makes it less obtrusive, by doing away with a metal ring as part of the swivel. 

These coated ring swivels have a wide variety of different applications when constructing rigs, and are available in either a size 8 or a size 11. The size 8 Ring Swivel is great for adding extra movement to your hook link, when fishing it in conjunction with a system such as the Lead Clip, which it fits into perfectly. When fishing helicopter rigs, the size 11 Ring Swivel is the perfect choice, as the ring allows it to rotate more freely on your line or leader than a conventional swivel does.  

This needle is perfect for splicing loops into materials such as our Kable leadcore or DuraKord leader, thus making them very easy to attach and detach from your main line without the need to keep cutting them shorter. The Slicing Needle features a gated latch that closes sufficiently tightly that it will help to grip a tag end whilst it is being pulled through a splice to create a loop, and with no danger of the needle getting stuck in the fibres of the material being spliced. As well as for splicing, this 7cm long needle also comes in useful for threading baits onto PVA stringers. It features a hi-viz orange handle to prevent loss, and its ergonomic design means it is very easy to grip and use, even with cold or wet hands. 

This is basically a longer version of our Heavy Latch Needle, and at 12cm long is perfect for threading PVA sticks onto your hook length. Whether you are using a braided or monofilament hook link material, the loop at the swivel end is easily held in place via the latched gate whilst a PVA stick is threaded onto your rig. It features a hi-viz red handle to prevent loss, and its ergonomic design means it is very easy to grip and use, even with cold or wet hands. 

This heavy duty baiting needle is designed so that it can easily be pushed through harder baits. The latched gate ensures that the hair remains attached to the needle whilst it is being pulled through the bait, but is then easily released. The Heavy Latch Needle is 7cm long, very strong, and features a hi-viz green handle to prevent loss, and its ergonomic design means it is very easy to grip and use, even with cold or wet hands. 

This baiting needle is perfect for use with softer baits – including particles such as sweetcorn - and leaves as small a hole through them as possible due to its very slim profile. It features a latch to hold your hair in place – whatever type of hair material you are using – whilst it is pulled through the bait. It features a hi-viz purple handle to prevent loss, and its ergonomic design means it is very easy to grip and use, even with cold or wet hands. 

This baiting needle is designed for use with delicate baits that can easily be damaged or split by a wider diameter needle. The Super Fine Braid Needle is still very strong though and has a round profile, with a tapered point making it easy to push through harder baits such as tiger nuts and small pop-ups. It has a recessed barb to ensure that it will retain your hair loop in place whilst it is pulled through the bait, and despite its name, it can also be used with mono as well as braid. The handle allows you to get a good grip, and is colour-coded in blue for easy identification of the correct needle if you have a range of them in your tackle box.

Part of Korda's comprehensive range of baiting tools, the Braided Hair Needle is, as the name implies, for use with braided hook link materials, or any sort of braided hair material. It is sharp and strong enough that it can be pushed through any baits without splitting them, and the ‘crook’ design will allow a hair loop to be pulled through the bait without the needle getting caught up in the fibres of the braid. It features a hi-viz handle to prevent loss, and its ergonomic design means it is very easy to grip and use, even with cold or wet hands. 

This anodised aluminium tool makes it very easy to strip any coated braid material – and without any chance of damaging your teeth in the process! It is extremely easy to use and has been designed so that it will strip the coating off but without damaging the braid inside. The Strippa Tool also features a circular groove at each end which is useful for tightening for, especially loop knots. It is finished in red to make it easier to find if you drop it.

These precision engineered drill bits come in a choice of 4mm, 6mm, or 8mm diameters, making them perfect for boring-out any hookbait and adding buoyancy to it, via the matching cork sticks, which are provided.

These are best used with boilies or nut baits where you want to add some buoyancy, such as critically balancing a bait or creating a snowman set-up from your bottom baits – or even just if you leave your pop-ups at home by mistake! The narrowest diameter drill is designed to drill a hole through hard baits that can’t be pierced using a baiting needle, or certainly not without splitting them. It is perfect for things such as air-dried boilies and pellets, and will bore a hole that can then be used to thread the hookbait onto your hair.

The end of the Bait Drill features a small spike which can be inserted exactly where you want to make a hole, and will ensure the drill doesn’t slip, and is designed in such a way that it reduces the chances of splitting the bait whilst in use. 

The Bait Drill has a black and green ergonomically designed handle to allow you to get a good grip for precision drilling. Each pack contains one Bait Drill and up to six cork sticks depending on size

This innovative system was designed by Jason Hayward to allow you to fish an inline lead in the weed, as it will eject from the stem when it needs to. The mechanism has been designed so that it will withstand even the hardest cast, but should the lead get stuck in weed or a snag, then it will release – but only does so when necessary. It can be used with any type of leader or tubing, or on a naked set-up, and is compatible with solid PVA bags, but it is best to avoid Funnel Web ones as these can cause it to eject as it hits the surface. The insert has a ring swivel moulded into it, but you can cut the ring off if you prefer to use a normal swivel, or add a Kwik Link or similar. A Tail Rubber holds everything in place, as long as it is pushed on tightly, and the leads and inserts are numbered to ensure that you get the correct combination, which fits together properly. The leads are a flat pear shape, which makes it perfect for most situations other than extreme range, and come in a choice of 2oz, 2.5oz, 3oz, and 3.5oz. Spare leads are available separately. Each kit includes a lead, insert, and tail rubber.

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. 

Incorporating anti tangle tubing into your lead arrangements helps to minimise tangles, and by using Covert Tungsten Tubing the weight of the Tungsten impregnated tube effectively pins the mainline/tubing down flush on the bottom next to your rig, helping to camouflage your set up from wary fish.

• Super-dense Tungsten compound is much heavier than standard sinking rig tubes ensuring it sinks quickly without the need for adding Critical Mass tungsten putty to pin it down.
• Ultra soft and supple “bottom-hugging” formula genuinely follows the contours of the lake or river bed to aid better presentation.
• Uniform diameter bore makes it easier to thread the mainline. When you are threading the line, it is easier if the tube and line are dry.
• Specifications: 2mm outside diameter / 0.8mm internal diameter.
• 2 metres per packet.
• Low-viz camo colours available in Green and Brown to match the rest of the Covert range, suiting many different lake or river beds.

A braided rig offers a slightly subtler presentation that will fool fish that may be suspicious of stiff hooklinks or are feeding by sifting through the sediment on the lake or river bed.

Supple hooklinks tend to concertina slightly as they settle onto the lake bed and therefore allow the hookbait to move unhindered when it is sucked up by a browsing fish.

• The well established Talon Tip hook is excellent for fishing any bottom bait over gravel as the in-turned point reduces the likelihood of the point being damaged before the fish picks up your bait.
• Tied with a quality 15lb braided hooklink – Trickster Heavy, that is suitable for a multitude of applications and enables the most natural presentation thanks to its super supple feel.
• Always reliable and easy to use, our ready tied rigs are the convenient way to ensure ultimate presentation.
• Available in Size 4, Size 6, Size 8, Barbed or Barbless.

Tip – for best results, always balance the size of the hook and hookbait. A size 8 hook is generally accepted as the ideal size for use with boiled baits between 14 and 16mm, adjusting hook sizes up and down from this base line accordingly.

Mugga Rigs are extremely reliable and effective pre-tied hair rigs, made using the highest quality components.

• Mugga hook for aggressive hooking and super secure hook holds.
• 15lb Sly Skin hook link 
• Available in sizes 6 and 8 in Barbed or Barbless.
• All our skinned rigs feature Covert Hooks & Swivels for ultimate camouflage.
• These rigs incorporate a small ‘stripped’ section of hooklink near the hook to allow free movement of the bait, enhancing hooking efficiency.
• All these rigs are tied in the UK by real anglers who take great pride in their work, paying incredible attention to detail and taking the time and effort so you don’t have to.

The Mugga Rig Multi Pack contains 3 ready made Mugga Rigs. The stiffer Sly Skin material kicks out balanced hookbaits helping consistent rig presentation. Available in single colour trade packs. Covert Mugga hook with 15lb Sly Skin

As the name suggests, the main function of this hook link material is to create stiff booms, for rigs such as spinner, hinged stiff, and combi set ups. This fluorocarbon has a green tint to it, to help it blend in with the lakebed even more so than a clear one would do, but the biggest advantage is that it can be crimped– our two different sizes of Krimps are the perfect diameter to work with both breaking strains of Boom.

It is very stiff, so will ensure that your rig kicks out away from your lead system every time and sits straight, plus you know that it won’t be tangled. Two different breaking strains are available – 25lb 0.55mm or 35lb 0.65mm – and come on 15m spools.

This is a softer version of original IQ fluorocarbon hook link material and is great all-round rig material. It still has enough stiffness to be used as a boom material, but is supple enough that it allows movement so that rigs such as the IQ D-rig can work effectively. As long as it is tied correctly it retains good knot strength (we recommend a Grinner or Palomar knot) and is virtually invisible in water as a result of its refractive index. It comes on a 20m spool in a choice of 12lb, 15lb, and 20lb versions, to suit any angling situation.

This hook link material has been specifically designed for chod rigs, hinged stiff rigs and combi-rigs, and purposely has a very high memory, so that it will retail a curve. It can easily be pulled straight without the need for steaming and manipulated into a curve, without springing back straight like many stiff materials do – and this is what makes it so good for chod and hinged stiff rigs. It has a green tint to it to help it blend in with the lakebed, and comes in a choice of 15lb, 20lb or 25lb breaking strains, to cover any fishing situation or rig variation you might choose. Each spool contains 20m of Mouth Trap.

This line is specifically designed for floater fishing, either as a main line or hook link material. It is clear so as to be as inconspicuous as possible, as well as being very supple and limp, which helps your hookbait to move as naturally as possible when a carp sucks it in. It has enough stretch that it helps to provide some shock absorption when a fish is hooked. It comes on a 150m spool – plenty enough for floater fishing even when used as your main line – and in a variety of breaking strains to allow you to scale right down, with a choice of 12lb (0.33mm), 10lb (0.30mm), 8lb (0.28mm), or 6lb (0.25mm).

When zig fishing you will usually get more action if you are fishing as subtly as possible whilst still giving yourself a high chance of landing anything that you hook. As the hook link material is sticking straight up off of the bottom, it needs to be as unobtrusive as possible, and Zig Line was developed specifically for this purpose. It has a subtle green tint to help it blend in and is a low diameter for its breaking strain, whilst still offering enough strength and abrasion resistance to land anything that you hook, and also knotting very well. The 11lb version has a diameter of just 0.28mm, 0.25mm for the 9lb, and 0.22mm for 7lb breaking strain, with each being supplied on a 100m spool. 

This has been designed so that it is incredibly fast sinking and more akin to a fluorocarbon in that respect, but as it is a monofilament it still retains the attributes that can make it superior to a fluorocarbon in some angling situations. Not only is it heavy but it is also very supple, which makes it great for slack line fishing as it will literally hang down limply from your rod tip and lay over the contours of whatever is between you and your hook bait. In addition to that, it still casts incredibly well – far better than a fluorocarbon can – and is highly abrasion resistant, as well as having good knot strength. It comes in a choice of different breaking strains – 12lb, 15lb or 20lb - to cover everything from open water fishing in the UK to tackling snaggy venues for big fish abroad. It comes in a choice of SUB Brown or SUB Green colours, on a 1,000m spool.

Touchdown main line obtained its name as a result of the increased amount of ‘feel’ that it gives you when your lead hits the bottom. Knowing that you are fishing on an area where you can present a bait effectively, and being able to get a drop that you are happy with, are essential, and this is achieved by getting a good ‘drop’ when you feel your lead down to the bottom. That has been achieved by reducing the amount of stretch in this monofilament main line, whilst still maintaining a high degree of abrasion resistance and good casting performance. It also sinks very well and has a high knot strength, making it a great choice for use in any fishing situation. It comes in a choice of low visibility green or brown, so that it can be matched to the type lakebed and water colouration on the venues you are fishing. A choice of breaking strains – 12lb, 15lb, and 20lb - covers all fishing situations, from fishing at long range through to very weedy or snaggy venues. Each spool contains 1,000m of line.

Super buoyant, close cell foam – ideal for balancing baits and rigs. Excellent when cut down and fished on a Zig Rig or other floater methods. The super buoyancy means Zig Rig hook baits can be kept smaller; a proven technique for catching out Carp that have been fished for with conventional baits on Zig Rigs in the past.

• Will absorb flavours for a steady leak rate.
• 12 x 28mm pieces per packet.
• Now available in different colours: Red, Yellow, Black, White, Mixed and Pink.
• Top Tip – Zig Rig hook baits should be mounted on a very short hair, keeping the hook in tight to the Zig Rig Foam to get the best hook holds possible. We recommend Size 12 Mugga Hooks

All the essential items you need to create perfect zig rigs in one convenient, excellent value pack.

Carp spend lots of the time swimming mid-water or near the surface, especially during spells of sunny warm weather and high air pressure. Conventional tactics will often prove ineffective, simply because the fish are not often visiting the lake bed to feed. When this is the case a small buoyant bait presented at the correct depth in the water column will often induce a bite.

Each Zig Rig Session Pack contains all the specific components you will require, including:

• 1 spool of Zig Link 20m Spool 
• 1 stick of each of our 8 colours of Zig Rig Foam: Yellow, Red, White, Pink, Orange, Brown, Pellet Brown and Black Zig Rig Foam – giving you a range of colours to experiment with in different situations.
• Now supplied with Size 12 Covert Mugga Hooks (Pack of 10).

Each pack of ready made Ronnie Rigs includes three perfectly constructed ‘hook sections’ that have been constructed to exacting standards here in the UK and their launch now makes this rig available to everyone!

These Ronnie Rigs use our exquisitely sharp size 4 and size 6 Covert Dark Mugga hooks attached to the new dedicated XT Flexi-Ring Kwik Lok Swivel. Essentially, the combination of the Mugga hook’s in-turned eye, swept shank and amazing razor sharp point is particularly effective in getting the most out of these rigs, as it creates a fast and aggressive reacting hooking mechanism that takes a firm hook hold. Each end section features a mat finished sliding Covert Hook Swivel, held in position with a Covert Hook Stop.

Ideal for small baits, cork, foam, hook shanks, knots, etc. Also useful on knots, it will increase knot strength with both mono and braid by seeping in and preventing strangulation. Use sparingly, especially on braids; one drop is often too much, try applying just a smear. Contains 5 grams Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) per Pen. Bonds instantly to virtually any surface.

• Perfect for a wide range of rig applications.
• Ideal for small baits, cork & foam to hooks, etc.
• Also useful on knots to increase strength.
• Can be used on both mono and braid.
• Contains 5g Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) per Pen.
• Bonds instantly to virtually any surface.

The Gardner Point Doctor 2 has an elevated abrasive content and slightly stiffer rubberised compound.

The Gardner Point Doctors are simple to use hook sharpeners that are perfect for keeping your hook points sticky sharp.

Just like the original Point Dr, the Point Doctor 2 is simple to use and perfect for keeping your hook points sticky sharp. A sharper point will prick, hook and penetrate faster and deeper and this will inevitably mean you hook and land more fish!

The Point Dr.2’s unique abrasive rubber compound (red) is still forgiving enough that you can easily avoid applying too much pressure to the point, turning it over and ruining the hook.

Low-Bore Tube Threaders are specially designed to fit down anti tangle tubing that has a finer bore.

The threaders can be threaded through any tube with a higher internal diameter even easier, for instance Covert Tungsten Rig Tubing that has an I/D of 0.8mm.

They’re constructed from a precision twisted, fine diameter stainless steel wire. The twists make the threader stronger and more robust, and also ensures that it is easier to grip/push through anti tangle tubing.

Simple to use:

• Thread the eyed end through the tubing, so the eye is protruding from the opposite end.
• Thread the mainline through the eye and gently pull the threader back through the tubing, drawing the line through the tube.

*Tube Threaders work well with both wet or dry line/tubing.

Available in 3ft 

HydroTuff has been designed for the most demanding angling situations, where you need the toughest, most robust and utterly reliable line to put on your reels.

We have recently upgraded to a larger arbour spool and jazzed up the packaging! This was primarily to ensure that the best method of spooling up this line is now the same as the rest of Gardner Tackle main line range. Don’t worry, it’s still the same magnificent line as before! The most amazingly robust copolymer available…

GT-HD is manufactured exclusively for Gardner Tackle with a unique high grade copolymer formula using cutting edge manufacturing processes to give the line reduced stretch and a crisp feel without compromising the other key characteristics.

After all, why develop a line that offers exceptional feel if it doesn’t retain the high knot strength, great abrasion resistance, fast sinking and a lovely smooth supple feel that anglers want. By developing a main line that brings together all of these features ‘GT-HD’ sets a new benchmark in performance copolymer main lines. Finally, by manufacturing GT-HD in a awesome low-viz colour we’ve created a line that simply outperforms other low stretch lines in every way.

This high quality Multi Stove Adaptor is manufactured using CNC machining technology and duralumin material, making it durable and reliable.

It has three 7/16″ threaded valve outlets available, that can be used individually, in pairs or all together. The two side outlets are perfect for use with the Gardner G-Force Stoves’ hoses. The top outlet can be connected with another device, such as another stove or a lantern if required.

• Equipped with a check-valve (self-sealing valve) and fitted O-ring, ensuring it will not leak when it is connected to the fuel canister (EN417).
• You can use all three outlets at the same time, or use only one or two of them without any leakage from the canister or other outlets.
• The circular stand (included) can be attached to the adaptor, using the top outlet screw-in plug supplied. Especially useful when the canister is running low on fuel.
• The 360 degree revolving arms make it easy to screw fit into your stoves’ hose ends.
• Weight: 110 grams

Critical Mass Tungsten Putty has a super high density Tungsten formula that has been developed to have the maximum stickiness, making it easy to use whatever the temperature.

It is ideal for fine tuning and balancing buoyant hookbaits or pinning down hooklinks and main line. Tungsten Putty is also very useful for smearing along braided hooklinks to pin them down tight to the lake bed. This is a successful rig tweak that also adds a small degree of stiffness to the braid which helps to reduce tangles.

• Critical Mass will adhere to all touch dry mono lines, skinned hooklinks and braids.
• Will not slip allowing you to fish secure in the knowledge that your presentation has not been jeopardised.
• Lead free and non toxic.
• 15 grams per pack.
• Comes in a handy container.
• Colours: Green or Brown.

These Covert Tungsten ‘Ronnie Sleeves’ are a streamlined sleeve, designed for use with size 12 QC or XT swivels that are used with the popular Ronnie Rig (Spinner) and German Rig.

The internal features means that the sleeve sits neatly over the top half of the swivel, keeping everything flush and tidy, without inhibiting the essential rotational movement of the hook.

They are available in 2 options related to their weight. The standard sleeve that is ‘unweighted’, and the ‘heavy’ version which offers the angler the benefit of being a tidy counter balance for use with high buoyancy hookbaits.

The ‘standard’ Ronnie Sleeve is perfect for use with the hugely popular and effective Ronnie, with pop ups that need minimal balancing i.e. shop bought 12mm hookbaits that largely ‘balance’ under the weight of the hook. Being unweighted, this version is also ideally suited for sleeving the swivel on ‘German’ style rigs with balanced bottom baits, e.g. wafters, snowman balanced tigers, etc.

The ‘heavy version’ is made specifically for use with custom and high buoyancy hookbaits, like cork balled pop-ups. These sleeves are also fantastic as a counter weight for Hinged Stiff Rigs and naked Chods, if you prefer to have the hook link rigid on eth swivel, as opposed to incorporating a looped hinge.

The sleeves are simplicity to use. Just slide securely down onto the swivel, securing the hooklink in place and balancing the hook bait with no need for shrink tube. This makes changing hooks quick and simple.

These ‘Ronnie Sleeves’ are a manufactured with a tungsten polymer compound.

• Sleeves are 12mm x 4.1mm.
• 8 x sleeves per packet.
• These sleeves are ideal for use on most hooks between size 2 and size 6.

These weighted Covert Tungsten Hinge Beads have been designed for use with size 12 QC or XT swivels, sliding down the hook section, securing the hook section in place on the swivel and incorporating a second hinge point at the top of the swivel that gives chod/hinged hook section extra movement making them potentially even more effective.

The internal features means that the bead sits neatly over the top half of the swivel, keeping everything flush and tidy, without inhibiting the essential rotational movement needed for optimum rig efficiency. This common sense design makes them ideal for use with all variants of hinged stiff rigs, quick change chod rigs or even as a tweaked Ronnie.

There are 2 options related available, related to their weight.

The ‘standard’ Hinge bead has been specified to be perfect for use with most shop-bought pop ups, in combination with reasonable sized hooks, i.e. size 4, 5 or 6 on 2-3 inch hook sections.

The ‘heavy’ version is made specifically for counterbalancing custom and high buoyancy hookbaits, like cork balled pop-ups or superior high buoyancy ready-made pop ups.

*Remember that it’s vital that chods and hinge rigs, with pop up hookbaits are buoyant enough to hold the hook section up straight for the full duration of time they are in the water as poor pop ups can lead to hook pulls on this style of rig.

Of course, you can also use these on a Ronnie or long shank Ronnie style setup. Using these on a QC style swivel gives the hook that little bit extra free movement, a little more like a 360 rig.

The beads are simplicity to use. Just slide onto the hook section and then loop the hook section onto your swivel and slide the bead down, securing the hooklink in place and balancing the hook bait. To fine tune the sinking rate of your presentation you can trim the bead down or add a little Tungsten putty until it sinks ‘just right’.

This system also makes changing hooks quick and simple.

The inclusion of a hook swivel instead of a simple rig ring, allows the hook bait more rotational free movement and controlled separation of hook and hook bait. This helps to ensure that rigs incorporating these components work to their maximum potential.

They are available in three sizes:

The Mini Swivel Bait Screw has a 5mm long screw thread (measured from the point to outside face of screw loop). These are perfect for use with small pop up hook baits and ‘cork balled’ hook baits, in which the boilie skin rarely exceeds 2-3mm.

The Standard Swivel Bait Screw has a 7.5mm thread, and these are ideal for slightly larger hook baits.

The Long Swivel Bait Screw has an 11mm thread, and consequently offers the highest possible grip to your chosen hook bait, and is the one to choose with BIG hook baits.

Directions for use:
Simply screw the thread into any suitable hook bait: hardened boilies, cork balled and ready-made pop ups, balanced hookers and even plastic baits.

• Anti Glare Black finish reduces visibility under water.
• Available in 2 sizes; Mini and Standard 
• 10 Swivel Bait Screws per packet.

Gardner Maggot Clips are the fastest, easiest way of mounting bunches of maggots on a variety of rigs.

• Lightweight wire and sharp fine point reduce damage to maggots when threading them onto the Maggot Clip.
• These clips are simple to use as you just open up the clip and thread on the maggots (no needle and thread required!), close and cast…
• Maggot Clips are perfect for use tied onto conventional hair rigs or mounted on ‘D’ rigs.
• Available in three sizes: Micro (6mm Diameter)
• Mini (8mm Diameter)
• Standard (10mm Diameter).
• Anti-glare black finish reduces visibility under water.
• 10 clips per packet.

Gardner Covert Flexi Hook Swivels have been designed as the perfect component for mounting a hookbait onto the hook shank or mounted onto D-rigs.

In essence they allow extra free movement of the hookbait, with free rotation and uninhibited pivoting of the hookbait. Essentially, this free movement means that the hook mechanics are un-inhibited and this means that the hook reacts and takes purchase even faster – even if the fish clamps down on the hookbait in its mouth. Incorporating a Flexi Hook Swivel like this also improves the separation between the hookbait and hook as the small swivel is mounted on a Covert large Rig Ring .

This integral Rig Ring has a 3mm internal diameter, so it fits perfectly onto all Gardner Covert Dark Micro barbed hooks and can be held securely in place with Covert Hook Stop when you mount the hook bait on the hook shank.

Covert Flexi Hook Swivels simply work superbly on any rig that previously used just a swivel or a rig ring to mount the hookbait; so that includes all D-rigs (Clone, hinged stiff, etc), German rigs, Multi rigs, and of course the amazing Ronnie Rig!

• These Flexi Hook Swivels feature our anti glare black finish that significantly reduces glare under water.
• 10 Covert Flexi Hook Swivels per pack.

Covert Dual Ring Swivels are designed for when using inline lead set-ups and great when fished in tricky areas where dropping the lead is paramount.

One ring provides flexibility for your hook link. The other ring is for the attachment of your chosen leader material.

For best results we suggested using in conjunction with our Drop Out Lead Inserts.

• Anti Glare black finish reduces visibility under water.
• Size 8 Swivels that fit snug inside our Drop Out Lead Inserts.
• Dual Ring allows free rotation of rig.
• Best used in combination with our Drop Out Lead Inserts.
• 10 per packet.

he Covert Dark Wide Gape Talon Tip is the latest incarnation in a long line of ‘Talon Tip’ beaked point hooks; with the latest version being given the full Covert Dark upgrade starting with the all important beaked point itself.

We have changed the shape and length of the Wide Gape Talon Tip’s point; so it is now a lovely sweeping curve that’s longer, slimmer and much sharper than before. These new longer points are a major improvement that ensures the hook pricks even quicker and penetrates easier.

Gardner Covert Dark Mugga Hook

Firstly, we have totally re-specified the shape and length of the Mugga’s point so they are longer and much sharper than before. The new long tapered points are a massive step up and ensure the hook pricks and penetrates even quicker.

Next, we have swapped over to the new stripped down Covert Dark plating. This new finish still offers excellent camouflage thanks to the matt finish, and also ensures that we keep the sharpest possible point on the hook as it is a single electroplated finish and the reduction in handling during the finishing process means the points remain immaculate and razor sharp
