COG System A lead system that betters the hooking qualities of an inline, yet casts like a lead clip, with all its safety benefits? It doesn’t exist, right? Well, such a product has just arrived at Korda HQ. After what seems like ages in the development, the COG system is finally here, in physical form. COG stands for Centre of Gravity, which is a reference to the unique way that the hook link is attached to the heaviest part of the lead, giving instant, unparalleled hooking. Put simply, this system has been designed to convert more pick-ups into fish on the bank. So, why did it take so long? Well, simply put, we tested it, tweaked it, changed it and then changed it back again across the space of a few years. The whole sampling process takes an awfully long time and because the end result had to work flawlessly, each stage was tested rigorously. Right through from early testing, to DVD sessions at Gigantica and intense scrutiny in front of the unblinking Underwater cameras, the COG has proven itself to be a genuine advantage.

Leadcore Helicopter Leaders Based around our Kable Leadcore and No-Trace system, these ready-tied leaders are constructed to exacting standards. They’re literally as good as we can tie ourselves, so you can rest assured that they won’t let you down. The leaders are 1m long and come in two versions, weed/silt and gravel. Of course, being tied from Kable, they feature a clever banded camouflage pattern that’s been designed to break up the outline of the leader when on the bottom. The No-Trace system offers unrivalled safety, should you crack off or become cut off. If a hooked fish becomes snagged or weeded, then the No-Trace bead can slide off the Chod Sleeve and drop off the leader entirely. This leaves the swivel free to slide up and off the leader, unimpeded by a bead, which could catch on weed that has collected around the leader knot. You can use the leaders with most types of presentation, including the chod rig.
The Drennan Specialist 2 Rod Compact Quiver can hold two rods, banksticks, net, handle and brolly and is designed with the specialist angler in mind. The Drennan Specialist Quiver is made from a tough and durable 600 denier fabric and has a reinforced waterproof base. It features two external pockets and a main zipped compartment designed to hold a brolly and adjustable padded shoulder strap. The Drennan Specialist Quiver features two Velcro rod straps along with an adjustable strap to take made up rods, with or without rod sleeves.
Inline Saftey Kit This innovative system designed by Jason Hayward allows you to fish inline leads in weedy conditions, as the lead will eject from the stem when snagged. The Inline Safety Kit provides a fish-friendly way of using an inline lead. The fail safe release mechanism will withstand any cast, and ensures the lead will only release if the rig is lost or the fish gets weeded/snagged. This makes the Inline Safety Kit perfect to use fish with short hook links or around weed and snags. It’s also perfect to use in Solidz bags.
In 2011 we were commended by the carp angling media for setting the standard for spod and marker braids following the launch of our excellent Exocet Spod and Marker braid. Being ultra-buoyant, with almost zero stretch you can pick this line up off the top of the water with ease, making spodding at range a joy and not a chore! The lack of stretch also makes it perfect for feature finding work with a marker float as the feel of every nook and cranny on the lake bed is transmitted back to the rod. Thanks to its super supple and smooth finish the Exocet Spod and Marker Braid simply flies off the spool making it your number one choice for long range baiting and plumbing.
The new Interceptor Floats are in tackle shops from next week! It's that time of year when the carp can often be found in the upper layers, and this makes them very susceptible to surface baits, as long as you have the right kit to present them! So it is the perfect time for us to release the fantastic new Interceptor Float range, which is the ultimate all-round surface controller float, with sizes covering everything from under your feet to long range fishing out in the middle of the lake. The colour of these inline floats has been carefully selected to make them as visible as possible from above the surface, so that the angler can see them as clearly as possible, but at the same time are almost invisible to carp below the surface. They are available in a variety of sizes, the smallest being just 5g which is perfect for flicking baits out close to the bank but where freelining won’t give you the casting accuracy or line control that you need.

Well made, with plenty of space, this lead pouch also comes with an internal pocket, which secures with a Velcro fastener, allowing you to store accessories easily, and keep everything close at hand. A durable pouch for your terminal tackle and accessories, this is an accessory no angler should be withou
