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.
There's a popular misconception that flat leads sit on silt. This does not happen, any lead finds the easiest path through the water so instead of fluttering down to the lake bed, a nose-heavy flat lead like this will plummet down side on and nose first, making it less effective in the silt than say a Swivel Pear lead.
There are two COG lead patterns currently available, the Flat Distance and Flat Pear. The Flat Pear is more conventional and its condensed shape makes for the best hooking potential it's unsurpassed for margin or boat work. The Flat Distance lead was designed by Danny Fairbrass for the COG system. It takes its shape from the popular Distance Casting lead, but has a slightly flattened profile, giving better hooking capabilities and ensuring that the COG system is properly presented.
COG stands for Centre Of Gravity; this revolutionary new lead system enhances the hooking potential of any rig as when a fish picks up the hookbait, it is INSTANTLY hitting the DIRECT force/weight of the lead. Due to how the weight of the lead is distributed throughout the rig, the COG lead system can achieve some incredible "hook-holds". Please note that for sale here is the Flat Distance Swivel Lead only and not the complete system.
Korda's neoprene finger stalls are streamlined, snug and offer unrivalled protection when going for the big cast, especially with braid. They are available in both small and large versions.
On days when bites are hard to come by or when you are getting takes but losing fish, subtle changes such as making the hair longer or changing the bait size can make a huge difference to your results. By using the different length Extenda Stops, it is easy to lengthen the hair or alternatively change the size of the hook bait from anywhere between 16mm and 24mm, without having to tie a new rig. The shape of the Extenda Stop also makes it very difficult for crayfish to pull them off, making them a must when fishing on waters that suffer from crayfish problems.
As the name suggests this lead is designed purely for casting long distances, the nose heavy design makes it very stable indeed and also keeps the lead condensed giving good hooking efficiency.
This suppleness will help Dark Matter tubing lay over bottom contours in a way that wasn’t previously possible. Dark Matter putty has been designed with one thing in mind, user friendliness. No more holding putty in the flame of a lighter or leaving it on top of a hot kettle to make it workable – Dark Matter putty is supremely malleable straight from the tin, something that we know you’ll appreciate! The whole of the Dark Matter range is available in Weed Green and Gravel Brown versions to allow you to choose the colour that best matches the bottom that you’re fishing over.
Tungsten Anti-Tangle Sleeves are finely tapering sleeves that help to push your rig away from the lead when it lands on the lake bed, ensuring your hooklink lies straight and flat on the bottom for perfect presentation.
All the leaders have two lengths of tungsten melted onto them one third and two thirds of the way down the length to ensure the whole leader sinks to the lake bed on a slack line. Compare them to anything else on the market and it is blatantly obvious a great deal of thought has gone into them. We have made them in 1m lengths, which is longer than the original versions.
The Wide Gape hook pattern is incredible in terms of it’s hooking potential anyway, but has been enhanced even more by the addition of a short length of shrink tube that helps to make the hook turn even more aggressively when in a carp’s mouth, and a small piece of silicone tubing on the shank of the hook ensures the hair comes off at the optimum point.
The release of Dark Matter Tungsten Putty brings rig putty into a new era. Gone are the days when you had to heat your putty on the kettle to make it workable - Dark Matter is super malleable, allowing easy moulding round swivels, Sinkers, tubing or main line.It's available in two camou colours, Weed Green and Gravel Brown, both of which are very subtle and will blend in over a range of lake bed conditions. Once you've used Dark Matter putty, you won't go back to using anything else.
These have a 30lb breaking strain and are 1m in length. This protects against big carp while providing outstanding toughness and durability. Designed to perfectly blend into any underwater environment and fitted with tungsten collars to ensure they stay flat against the bottom, creating a 'Safezone' around the rig.
The new Dark Matter Helicopter Chod Leader is the latest addition to the range of leaders from Korda. Featuring a tungsten insert, the leading dark matter helicopter/chod leader hugs the bottom. This leader can catch carp using a helicopter assembly (or chod rig) discreetly. Due to its high density, carp can swim near this leader and not detect it.
Dark Matter Braid lends itself to a host of rigs, including solid-bag presentations, the Slip-D rig, Darrell Peck's simple bottom bait rig and, of course, combi rigs.
Korda COG (Centre Of Gravity) Kit Used in conjunction with the Korda COG Lead, this kit enables your hook link to plug into and leave the lead at the point where it offers the most resistance to a taking fish, therefore aiding hooking.
