The Ring Swivel leaders have been designed for use with inline leads and the lead clip versions feature the new lead clips, which can be used semi-fixed or running and with lead clips or Kwik Links. You get three leaders per pack. Both versions are 1m long and are tied from our 50lb Kable camouflaged leadcore.
Hybrid Stiff Hybrid Stiff is THE coated hook link for use over clean lake beds. Its super-stiff, camouflaged coating helps kick your hook bait away from the lead every cast, to ensure perfect presentation. As such, its perfect for use with light baits such as pop-ups or wafters. The two versions, weedy green and gravel brown, have been chosen to blend with most lake bed conditions.
The Korda Kable Leadcore is relatively thin, especially considering its breaking strain, and it is remarkably supple. This ensures that it will cling to the contours of your chosen venue, further aiding with the line’s invisibility. The Kable is also easy to splice, allowing you to achieve a secure loop for ultra-strong rig construction. If you’re an angler who targets intelligent carp who know their hookbaits from their freebies then this is the perfect leadcore to use, as it melts into the lake bed for an ultra stealthy approach to angling.

Korda Kutter 16 What a response we’ve had to the launch of this gem. It’s the brother to the Krusha and allows you to smash out loads of perfectly chopped boilies in double-quick time. There are three Kutters in the range that suit 16mm, 20mm and 25mm baits. To use them, simply depress the button, remove the plunger and drop in a few baits. Then use the plunger to force the baits down the Kutter, whereupon the inner blade slices them perfectly – and it’s practically effort-free! The resulting halved baits are superb in spod mixes and won’t roll off the spot at all, due to their shape – which is a bonus when targeting sloping gravel humps, marginal slopes or moving water. 14mm - 16mm Baits

The Korda Heli Leadcore Leaders are available in either weed or gravel and have 3 leaders per pack. The leaders enable you to present your rig Helicopter Style which is excellent particularly when fishing over silty or weedy lake beds.
These brand-new scales are far from your average weighing tools. In fact, we reckon that they're the coolest scales on the market, by quite a margin! Rather than the standard black, high-impact case, the limited-edition Korda scales have a carpy green shell. We've also added a high-vis green tip to the pointer needle for 2011, which makes for accurate weighing in low-light conditions.
The new Long Chuck main line has been designed specifically for fishing at long range and will add extra yards to your cast compared to a standard mono. It is ultra-low stretch to enable quicker compression of the rod blank, and alongside the fact that it has very low water absorption, it also helps when trying to feel the lead down at range or in a cross wind. That low water absorption also helps ensure that the line stays lightweight and stays in the air for longer, thus helping to lower the drag on the lead during flight, but the biggest factor in achieving that is the fact that the line is clear – adding a dye to a mono line increases the weight, as well as altering the molecular structure and creating more stretch, all of which means that coloured lines won’t cast as far. Long Chuck also features a high breaking strain to diameter ratio, which significantly reduces both the drag and the weight of the line, compared to an equivalent breaking strain – 10lb is 0.27mm; 12lb is 0.30mm; 15lb is 0.33mm; and 20lb is 0.40mm. It is supplied on 1,000m spools.
These shock leaders have been designed specifically for long range fishing to help you achieve maximum distance without the risk of a crack-off, and are perfect when used in conjunction with the Long Chuck main line. There are three different combinations of Long Chuck Tapered Leader, which allows you to match it to the breaking strain of main line that you are using, thus ensuring the neatest joining knot possible and also reducing the risk of ‘frap-ups’ (this usually occurs when different diameter lines are joined and a sudden change to the way it spirals off of the reel through the butt ring). Each leader is 10m long and features 8m of 30lb/0.47mm breaking strain line, to absorb the force of the cast as well as giving some protection when playing a fish due to its abrasion resistance – ideal when fishing over gravel bars – and then the last 2m tapers down from 0.47mm (30lb) to either 0.27mm (10lb), 0.30mm (12lb), or 0.33 mm (15lb) diameter, depending on which of the three versions you choose. The tapered leaders feature the same properties as the Long Chuck main line, with ultra-low stretch to help compress the rod (heavy mono is typically quite stretchy and hampers the cast); low water absorption; lightweight for its breaking strain, as it is clear (dye adds extra weight), so it stays in the air longer; and a high breaking strain to diameter ratio to reduce drag. Each spool contains five leaders.
The Long Chuck Tapered Mainline has been designed for casting at range in situations where you want to fish straight through without a leader knot – especially useful in weedy venues where that can gather around the knot and present problems under the rod tip. The Long Chuck Tapered Mainline comes on a 300m spool, and at each end of that it features an 8m section of 0.47mm (30lb) diameter line designed to take the force of the cast - as well as offering good abrasion resistance when playing a carp – plus a 2m tapering section down to whichever diameter of main line you have chosen. It is exactly the same at both ends, so should you experience a cut-off, you can simply reverse the line on your spool and use it again. This tapered main line feature the same properties as the Long Chuck main line, with ultra-low stretch to help compress the rod (heavy mono is typically quite stretchy and hampers the cast); low water absorption; lightweight for its breaking strain, as it is clear (dye adds extra weight), so it stays in the air longer; and a high breaking strain to diameter ratio to reduce drag. It comes in a choice of 10-30lb (0.27-0.47mm); 12-30lb (0.30-0.47mm); and 15-30lb (0.33-0.47mm).
