Korda’s new range has at last arrived. The new Adrenaline carp mainline looks really good, it very limp straight off the spool so it should cast really well. The Adrenaline also has a very subtle brownish shading which changes tone every so often to help break up the contours of the line. These changes in tone should help to blend the line in with the lakebed and fool those wary carp. The New Korda Choddy Hooks  look ideal for the now famous chod rig and also the hinged stiff rig. The Kurv Hooks have been designed for those of you who don’t like using shrink tube to flip the hook over in the carps mouth. Both hooks are Teflon coated to prevent glint in bright conditions which should hopefully help disguise your rigs. The korda holiday Guide kit or Book will be useful to those of you planning your first carp fishing holiday abroad. Another pukka new bit of kit is Korda Drop Zone Marker Kit , this kit complete comes with two unique leads which look like they will be ideal for those of you feature finding on weedy waters.
