The Krimps and Krimp tool have been designed to allow easy rig construction with stiff materials (at the moment we only recommend Hybrid Stiff, Mouth Trap and BOOM. In particular, we're really excited about the potential to create extremely neat loops for chod & Spinner rigs.
The original Krank hook pattern, devised by Tom Dove, has been so successful, it seemed only right to add to the family. The latest addition comes in the formidable shape of the Krank X, which is exactly the same as the Krank, but is made from a thicker, stronger wire, which means that it's perfect for more extreme fishing conditions.
The rigs cover every carp angling situation with the range of hook sizes – from day ticket carping for double-figure fish to Euro giants - and they’re perfect for use in conjunction with wafter or balanced hook baits, one of Tom Dove’s favourite presentations.
The Krank is a unique design with a very large wide gape, beaked point and a sweeping offset curved shank. Perfect for rigs like the KD and the simple knotless knot. Barbed or Barbless. Pack of 10.
Just like the standard Krank hooks, the Krank Choddy has a beaked point and slight offset that combine to offer unrivalled hook hold security. They can of course be used with unstripped, coated braid or mono hook links to produce effective bottom-bait rigs too!
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.
The Korda Kamakura hooks are so sharp there is no extra sharpening needed, therefor reducing the time spent perfecting your rigs. The Kamakura hooks are the outcome of years of development and research by Korda, they have produced the sharpest possible hook with consistency showing through the whole packet.

After a painstaking trial and error process Korda have managed to produce two lead-cores that are almost indistinguishable from the natural shades and hues of most lake and river beds - ‘weed’ and ‘silt/gravel’. Korda Kable Leadcore is easily spliced for secure loop-making using Korda needles; it’s surprisingly supple and thin enough to faithfully follow bottom contours. Supplied on 7m and 25m spools Korda Kable Leadcore deserves a special place in every modern carp angler’s tackle box.

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. Just like the original IQ, IQ2 is nigh-on invisible in water. The way that light passes through the material is quite close to the way that it moves through water, rendering your hook links very difficult for carp to detect.
The IQ D-rig is perfect for use with a boilie approach and Dan nearly always uses it with one of his wafter hook baits, which just sit above the hook when on the lake bed. The rigs are available in barbed and barbless variants, and in sizes four, which is tied to 15lb IQ2, six, which is tied to 12lb IQ2 and eight, which is tied to 10lb IQ2.
The backleads can be set to stay on the main line without dropping off or they can be set so that the backlead breaks apart when snagged in weed. The super-slick plastic attachment ensures that the backlead will glide easily down the line, dramatically decreasing the chance of movement at the rig end. Backleads are most effective over even, flat bottoms and are an excellent way of preventing a hooked fish from picking up your other lines.
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 Hybrid Tail Rubber, for use with the Korda Hybrid Lead Clips, the tail rubbers come in two colours; Weed & Silt, Gravel & Clay. The tail rubbers are perfect to use when your line is heavy or you are using leaders. The tail rubbers offer a perfect sleeve to house the bulky knots those lines create. As well as this the Hybrid tail rubbers also prevent tangles from occurring due to everything being housed inside.
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. We recommend that the Hybrid Stiff is used in conjunction with two key Korda tools, the Strippa Tool and the Krimping Tool. The Strippa Tool allows easy stripping of the tough, stiff coating and the Krimping Tool can be used to attach a Link Loop, which can be quickly attached and detached from a Kwik Link when changing rigs.
The Korda hybrid lead clip is available in 4 colours, Weedy Green, Clay, Gravel and Silt. The main purpose of the hybrid lead clip is simple, it is to offer the ability to ditch the lead should your hooked fish become snagged. This is perfect on weedy waters where this occurring is possible. The ability to drop your lead means landing the fish safely and without further complications makes for a safe and easier fishing experience.
The Heli-Safe System enables you to drop the lead when the situation calls for it. When used in conjunction with our unique Helicopter Safety System and unique No-Trace Beads, you can fish a rotary-rig setup in situations that would have previously led to the loss of hooked fish.
These beautiful leads have been designed to work in conjunction with the Heli-Safe bead. Instead of a swivel, they have a ring, which makes for a much neater connection to the Heli-Safe. Once attached, the Heli-Leads stay on until a fish ejects them, perfect.Their shape makes them stable in flight and god casters!
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. HEAVY LATCH STIK NEEDLE - RED HANDLE Ideal for pulling hook links through sticks or making stringers.
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!
Good on hard bottoms, the short condensed shape of this lead coupled with the two flat sides makes it the perfect lead for bolt rigs at short to medium range.
