Korda

Lead System Range

2m

At Korda, we have the philosophy of simplifying your set ups as much as possible and making as many items as interchangeable as possible. Why should you have to carry three sizes of rig tube, swivels and lead clips when in reality one will do the lot?

Having loads of different sizes for the sake of it confuses the angler and gives the tackle dealer a headache of stocking it all. I can just imagine how frustrating it must be to get home and find you have the wrong size swivels for your clips or whatever - there�s no such chance with Korda.

We only sell one size of anything, cutting out the rubbish and saving you money. When a new product is designed it must fit what is already in the range even if it makes it harder to manufacture - that is our commitment to you.

We do however pay great attention to the colour of your rig components. The unique filming we have achieved underwater has proven that the right combination of rig items, in terms of colour, will help fool the carp into thinking that there is no rig there. This is half the battle of outwitting them!

A carp that is blissfully unaware it's being fished for is far, far easier to catch! You just need to watch any of the Underwater DVD series to see what we mean. You will not find any 'off the shelf' items in our range. Everything is designed from scratch, and if we cannot make it better than what's already out there then we don't make it.

Danny says: "Sure we need to make a profit to keep going but we do not simply put something in a packet with our logo on to make money. We could do this very easily but that's not why we are in business.

"I want to be recognised and remembered for making carp fishing a more enjoyable and successful pasttime. Simply putting money in the bank will not do that. Designing products you can use easily and effectively to put more carp on the bank is why I do it and that will always be so! I am very proud of the contribution I have made to carp fishing through Korda and I will strive to keep adding to that contribution."

Rig Tube

Not only does rig tubing stop the hook link from wrapping around the main line on the cast preventing a tangle, it also stops the fish coming in contact with the line during the fight. This is a vital safety aspect of the rig which we feel should not be ignored.
  Danny has actually seen a carp roll on the line as it was being played and watched as scales fluttered down to the lake bed. When the carp was landed it had several white marks where the scales used to be. This was from a method feeder where no tubing was required because the hook link was squashed inside the method ball so it could not tangle.
  But, for the sake of having some tubing on which if you use it right does not have to spook the carp, you will ensure the fish stay as perfect as the moment they made the mistake of wanting your hook bait!
  Our tubing has a matt finish, which makes it harder to see underwater and most importantly easy to thread. It comes in three colours, all of which sink without the need for putty. Having said that, we have seen from the underwater footage that the better the rig is pinned to the lake bed the less scared the carp will be.
  It is also better to get the colour of the tube exactly right for the spot you are fishing and then weight it with extra putty. Our underwater experience tells us our colours are right and extra putty can only enhance the whole set up but is not as essential as getting the colour right.

CAMOUFLAGED WEED - suits silkweed on the bottom and the vast majority of lake bed where a small amount of bottom weed/algae is present. Check out Part 2 of the Underwater Films to see just how much weed can be out there when you would never know it.
  SILT - perfect for silty waters and gravel pits where there is a lot of sediment collected, even on the gravel spots. Danny recalls: �I started fishing the wonderful Savay Lake on a winter day ticket many years ago. It was superb to be feeling the lead/marker pulling over all that gravel, up the sides of bars and through silty gullies, real textbook stuff!
  �After some plumbing I tried pulling the float and lead through the margins which looked like they had a shallow layer or silt on top of gravel. The feeling matched what I had felt on the tops of he bars, really profound tremors as the lead bounced over the gravel. However, the lead was out of sight under the silt, I could not see it under the rod tip in a foot of water. So, never assume just because you can feel gravel that there is not a layer of sediment on top of it. Check what it's like in the edge before deciding on what�s out there.�
  GRAVEL - very light green and excellent on clean gravel bottoms, perfect for gravel pits. This one can be excellent in one part of the swim and looking like a laser beam in another. On clean gravel it's great but over silt or weed it stands out like a sore thumb. It sounds like a lot of messing about but matching your rig to the colour of the lake bed it will be lying on will get you more bites. Part 3 of the underwater series has good examples of this.

CLAY - blends in nicely to any lake bed with clay and sand.
