One of the leading monofilament lines on the market, ESP Crystal Carp Mono brings you everything you need for carp angling success. An abrasion-resistant line which boasts excellent knot strength, this mono line can be fished in almost any conditions, and relied upon to bring your results to the bank. Available in a choice of three breaking strains, on a 1000m spool, this clear mono line gives you the flexibility to fish the way you want, with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your tackle won’t let you down. Strong enough for the most challenging venues and heaviest carp, this is a line that’s been crafted for performance, and designed to endure.
These re-worked bite alarms and wireless receiver are now available as a two, three or four rod combination, which includes a hard case and packed away into a deluxe case, making them easy to store and carry.
Arma-Kord - THE original braided leader - Super abrasion resistant - Supplied on 20m spools - 30lb and 50lb versions available - Length: 20m Arma-Kord is an incredibly abrasion resistant braided line, which is also supple and relatively thin for its breaking strain. It has been designed as a high-performance snag or shock leader for extreme snag fishing or long-range work. In tests this braid proved at least 50% more abrasion resistant than the nearest competitor. Its thinner diameter and low-viz brown colour also make it far less detectable underwater.
Put simply, this is the sinking version of our all-conquering Arma-kord leader material. Arma-kord has rightly developed a great reputation for reliability and the addition of this sinking version will simply cement its place at the very top of the tree. Reach for this on demanding waters where snags make a solid snag leader essential.
Bait Floss - Floss that's perfect for tying baits on - Extra-strong and waxed - Running a lighter over the floss makes it transparent - Supplied on 50m spools Our first bait floss is the perfect addition to our chod kit. It’s absolutely perfect for tying on pop-ups of all descriptions, especially cork ballers. The floss is flat in profile, which helps it to grip the surface of even the hardest, smoothest pop-ups. Once you’ve tied the bait on, using the knot shown below, simply run a cigarette lighter flame around the floss, which will render it transparent. Each spool holds fifty metres of floss, which will last ages!
Baiting Needles - A versatile range of baiting needles - Range includes splicing and stringer needles - High-viz handles prevent loss - Built to last Baiting tools are an important part of any carp angler's kit, some people are happy to use one needle for everything. However, seeing as we are self-confessed perfectionists, we like to use exactly the right tools for the job. For that reason we have designed these little babies. We have produced the needles in mega-bright colours to minimise the chance of misplacing them. How many times have you dropped your baiting needle onto the grass and lost it? A lot I would guess. However, this is now completely eliminated with the super-bright handles on the Korda range of needles.

Dark Matter Tungsten Hooklink Thanks to state-of-the-art technologies we’ve been able to add tungsten granules into the coating of the Dark Matter Coated Braid. This ensures the hook link sinks quickly and remains pinned down on the lake bed. Dark Matter Coated Braid has a semi-stiffness and is perfect to create a variety of modern rigs. During the intensive testing period consultants have been using it in the most demanding situations and caught fish of near record sizes whilst having complete confidence in their hook link.
Korda Dark Matter Drop Off Inline Leaders The Dark Matter Drop Off Inline Leaders provides maximum abrasion resistance with excellent camouflage and sinking properties to hide your end tackle from wary fish. The size 8 ring swivel will fit neatly inside a Korda Inline Lead, creating the perfect drop off lead system. A great way to “dump the lead” when the fishing situation requires it, for example in heavy weed. This simple but effective set up is attached to your mainline via your preferred knot and requires no additional splicing/loop tying. Korda's Dark Matter leaders have tungsten impregnated collars to ensure the leader lays flat to the lake bed, they also have a tested 30lb breaking strain.
Korda Eazi-Stik 20mm Producing a throwing stick is an unusual step away from Korda's speciality of leads and rig gear. Danny does nothing without good reason - his first experience of this baiting tool came at Shimano Linear Fisheries in Oxford. Danny told us: “I was amazed at how light it was and was more amazed that I could actually use it effectively. Prior to using this design I simply could not use a throwing stick of any description.” Credit for the design has to go to long-range guru Frank Warwick, who inspired the original design.
