Terminal Tackle

Dark Matter Putty - Super-heavy tungsten putty - Easy to mould - Supplied in two camouflage colours - Perfect for balancing pop-ups

Sinkers - Compact, tungsten rubber weights - Slide easily onto your hook link or main line to help pin it down - Designed to grip the line tightly - Available in three sizes and three subtle colours A compact tungsten-rubber weight, designed to slide onto your hook link and pin it to the lake bed. Moistening the hooklength will allow the Sinkers to slide along the hook link much easier. The great thing about a Sinker is that it stays in position, rather than flying off on the cast like putty can. Available in Safezone colours to camouflage into the lake bed and two separate sizes.

The hugely effective D-rig doesn’t really need to much of an introduction. Anglers like Danny Fairbrass, and others spread all over the globe, have been using variations of it for many years and in front of the underwater cameras it proved to be one of best hooking rigs.

Korda Safe Zone Anti Tangle Sleeves Korda Anti Tangle sleeves have been specially designed to reduce tangles, they also help to push the hooklink away from the lead. When using coated hooklinks such as Hybrid or fluorocarbons like IQ, the rig will work best when the hooklink is laid out straight and away from the lead system.

Korda Tail Rubbers have become some what of an institution when it comes to finishing off a rig, they were originally designed as a purpose made connector between the top of an in line lead and the rig tube. Our own rubbers concentrate on one thing, connecting the lead and the tube leaving little or no lip for the hooklink to tangle around on the cast. Since then we have designed our own lead clips to fit the rubbers already made for the top of an in line, people also slide the lead down onto a rubber semi fixed over the hooklink swivel so if the line breaks the lead can pull off the rubber down the tube and off the end of the line, a semi fixed rig that turns into a running rig. They have a multitude of other applications, being of high quality rubber compound they will stretch over many things to conceal or neaten a part of the rig, some people use them at the end of the hooklink as it joins the swivel for neatness and who are we to argue. Now made from a new material and in colours to match the Safe Zone ranges. Available in Weed, Clay, Silt or Gravel. 10 per packet.

Dark Matter Tubing - The heaviest tungsten tubing available - Easy to thread and supple - Available in Weed Green, Gravel Brown and Silt - Supplied in 2m lengths

Dark Matter Leaders - Fused plastic leaders with integral tungsten sections - Available in Weed Green, Gravel Brown, Clay, Silt and Clear - Three types available: ring swivel, Hybrid Leadclip and helicopter - 1m in length and 30lb breaking strain - 1 per pack Fused plastic leaders that have been tinted to precisely match the lake bed. They feature two tungsten bands along their length, which help to pin your tackle to the lake bed in the area of your rig. There are three types of leader available: ring swivel, Hybrid Lead Clip and Helicopter. Each leader is available in weedy green, gravel brown, clay and slit colours as well as clear. They are extremely robust too, with a breaking strain of 30lb.

The essence of the system is that it will allow a snagged lead to pull off the rig, thus releasing the fish from the unseen snag or weed bed so you land it rather than lose it. If you were attached to a really big carp, would you forfeit the lead to guarantee you landed the carp? We know we would and it’s a small price to pay. All Korda packaging is overflowing with information on how to use the products effectively. This booklet expands and reinforces that information. The basic rule of the lead clip system is the lead must eject before the swivel pulls out. If the swivel comes out first the lead will never eject. Instead, the line will pull back and forth through the system like a running rig leaving the lead snagged and the fish too!

Hybrid Lead Clip Since its release, the Hybrid Lead Clip has established itself as the best clip on the market. It has one very simple purpose, and that's to help you ditch the lead if the fish you hook becomes snagged. The design features an integrally moulded Ring Swivel, ensuring that the swivel simply cannot pull free from its housing. This forces lead ejection in the event of it becoming jammed meaning that carp can be landed easily in weedy, snaggy conditions. The streamlined, one-piece design means there are no fiddly locking pegs or hinges to worry about - just connect the leader to one end and the rig to the other! The uprated arm allows leads up to 5oz to be cast safely even at extreme range and the clip is available in all four of the key Safe Zone colours: weedy green, clay, gravel and silt.

Korda hybrid Tail Rubbers creates a seamless join to tubing and leaders. They cover and protect large knots and are used when heavy lines and leaders are created (40lb plus).  They help prevent any tangles in your line. Ensure the clip is wet before pushing the Tail Rubber on and never push the Tail Rubber on fully. Available in two colours: Weed/Silt or Gravel/Clay

The existing Hybrid Lead Clip range is already incredibly popular as it makes it so easy to set up in a way that will ensure that your lead is ditched during the fight, thus increasing your chances of landing whatever you have hooked. The whole idea of the Hybrid system is that rather than fiddling around trying to get different components to fit together neatly and effectively, the Hybrid is all-in-one and you simply tie your main line to one end of it and connect your hook link to the other, knowing that it will perform perfectly every single time.

Heli-Safe System We've been working on a solution to a problem that anglers been faced with for some time, how to safely and consistently discharge the lead when fishing with a helicopter setup. In order to be a true game-changing product, the Heli-Safe had to fulfill some important criteria… One such criterion was the ability to fish chod rigs at range. The heavy leads needed to fish at long range often become a problem once a fish is hooked. The combination of a very short hook link and large lead would often result in dropped fish.

Maggot Klip - Metal clips that make baiting with maggots easy - Sharp point allows you to thread them onto the clip - Available in four sizes - Anti-glare PTFE coating The maggot klip makes baiting your rig with maggots easier than ever. Simply open the klip, thread your maggots onto it and close it up again!

Korda Shrink Tube is perfect for improving the hooking efficiency of any hook by curving the hooklink inwards. It shrinks down to 1/3 of its original size to form a really neat presentation. Specifically designed colours to match the lake bed that you will be fishing.

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.

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.

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.
