The leader with a size 8 ring swivel on the end is best used with our inline leads, lead clips, running rigs and method feeders. Once wet all these types of lead system will easily slip over the tungsten collars and the welded loop at the end of the leader. When the leaders are dry, products such as inline leads and method feeders will stick to the tungsten sections and you will think they are unsafe. However, when wet they slip over them with ease and lets face it when underwater they'll always be moist.

Heavy duty, splice able leader material with a dark, weedy green camou colour. it is made from a dyneema/polyster blend that absorbs water and sinks well. Its makeup means that its soft enough to lie well over bottom contours and it has an increased diameter to prevent it from cutting into subsurface snags and act as an effective rubbing leader.
Floss Caps help to efficiently secure your hook bait to your chosen rig. Many of today’s most popular rigs involve tying baits on to rings or micro swivels with floss, and this can be far more fiddly than it needs to be. The Floss Cap takes all the hassle out of it, replacing your usual boilie stop – with available colours including clear, yellow and pink, so it can be matched to your bait – and once your hookbait is positioned just how you want it on the rig, you simply slide on a Floss Cap so that it sits flush, and then blob the ends of the floss with a lighter to hold everything in place. Tying baits on has never been so neat and hassle-free!
Korda Boom Fluorocarbon, Boom is a game-changing fluorocarbon! Its our first fluorocarbon that can be crimped, which opens a world of uses for rig tying. Its prime function is for creating stiff boom sections to help kick the hook bait away from the lead system, something Boom does each cast. You can use it to make combi-rigs, or out-and-out stiff rigs, for pop-ups and bottom baits alike. Your imagination is the only limit to its rig applications. Being a fluorocarbon, Boom blends with all lake bed types and, thanks to its subtle, green tint, its always inconspicuous to carp feeding around it. Boom is available in 0.55mm and 0.65mm, on 15m spools.
IQ2 Fluorocarbon IQ2 Fluorocarbon is a softer version of our legendary IQ. This softness makes it a versatile hook link material, which gives free movement to even quite light hook baits, like a single grain of pop-up corn, or real maize.
Kamo Coated Braid Kamo is a super-tough, camouflaged coated braid that's incredibly easy to strip. The strippable coating offers a multitude of presentation options, from simple combi rigs, right up to more complex rigs like the multi-rig. The clever banded-camouflage pattern helps your rigs to melt into the lake bed, whatever you're fishing over. Kamo is available in 15lb 20lb and 30lb breaking strains, but heavier-test options are also in stock for those fishing on the snaggiest European venues, such as the infamous Rainbow Lake. These comprise 50lb, 65lb and 80lb.

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.
Mouthtrap Mouthtrap has been designed to create the ultimate stiff rig. During testing there is one element that particularly stood out for the lads involved in the team – it was easier to manipulate than any other stiff material on the market, without the hassle of steaming over a kettle, which takes up valuable fishing time and extra effort.
Korda N-Trap Soft Coated Hooklink, Although the original Hybrid hook links had many followers, the Korda product development team thought that it could be bettered. The resulting product, N-Trap Soft, is the culmination of two and a half years of development and testing. So, why is N-Trap the best coated material on the market? Well, it features a tough, matt coating that is easy to strip yet wont split when tightened down and the rugged Dyneema braid inner is a much better colour match for the coating than other hook links.
SUBline carp mono has been specifically designed by Team Korda to cope with all extreme fishing requirements. We have tested lines for many years in our lab and SUBline has outperformed all others in terms of toughness and knot strength. It is now the only choice when faced with heavy weed, snags or the abrasive terrain of gravel.
Touchdown is a performance mono that has been designed to help you feel more as the lead impacts the bottom. This has been achieved by reducing the stretch, while maintaining the abrasion resistance and casting performance. It sinks well and has great knot strength. We've made it available in two versions, a low-viz green and a dark brown colour to suit all the lake bed conditions that you're likely to encounter.
Zig Line Our first dedicated zig and floater hook link is fine, supple and camouflaged – everything you need to fool wary carp. The line carries a subtle green tint that has been formulated to blend in sub-surface. Zig Line is available in 7lb, 9lb and 11lb, on handy 100m spools.
