A couple of new lines this time. The Korda Subline comes in translucent green or brown and is extremely tough supple and super heavy. This stuff sinks like a brick and comes of the spool with virtually no twist and has a very soft supple feel to it. If you fish slack lines and want a tough reliable line, Korda Subline may be the answer. For more information or to purchase please click on the above link. The Ace Velocity Leader Line is aimed at the angler fishing at distance. It features a high breaking strain leader end which tapers down to normal mainline i.e. 25lb leader end tapering to 10lb mainline. This means no more knots to catch and cause birdsnests. The Ace Velocity leader Line has the tapered leader at both ends, so when the leader gets a bit worn you just turn it round saving you money as well. For more information or to purchase please click on the above link.

Some new products from Korda this time. The new Korda Mouth Trap is a purposely designed chod hooklink. It is much easier to use than other chod hooklinks and does not need steaming to shape it. Mouth Trap has a really carpy olive tint to it which makes it blend in really well. For more information or to purchase please click on the above link. The Korda Kontour Fluorocarbon Mainline has been in developement for three years. It sinks like a brick, has high abrasion resistance and casts exceptionally well. Kontour is very soft in comparison to other fluorocarbon mainlines making it very user friendly. Due to its true knot strength, Kontour will be strong and reliable. The Korda Solidz PVA Bags are manufactured at Korda to stringent specifications using the highest film available. The Solidz PVA Bags have a virtually neutral PH, melt rapidly are extremely robust and come with a Free Bag Loader. There is zero residue when the Solidz melt and they are completely aroma free. They come in four sizes so should be suitable for most baiting situations. Finally we have the Korda Skywinder Spod which is a modified version of Skyraider Spod. The Skywinder is designed as a boilie rocket or to deliver maggots at range. For more information or to purchase any of the above please click on the links.

The Korda Interceptor is a new distance surface controller. The design of the controller allows you to change the weight of the controller without having to break down your setup. The controller has a self orientating high viz sight, is very aerodynamic for long range casting with minimal tangles and is made with a low visibility surface colour plastic.
To setup one up you will need a Korda Interceptor and a Korda size 11 ring swivel.

Step 1.
Thread your mainline through the rigid tube.

Step 2.
Slide the soft insert onto your mainline and push the rigid tube inside it.

Step 3.
Now tie on the size 11 ring swivel using a Palomar knot. Double over the end of your mainline and pass it through the eye of the swivel.

Step 4.
Tie and overhand knot around the swivel with the doubled over section of your mainline.

Step 5.
Then pass the swivel through the loop created in the doubled over mainline once the overhand knot has been formed.

Step 6.
Moisten the knot and tighten it down slowly, before trimming the tag end.

Step 7.
Gently pull the swivel into the soft insert.

Step 8.
Locate the slot on the side of the interceptor body and place your mainline in the slot.

Step 9.
Slide the interceptor down the rigid tube until is sits firmly on the soft insert.

The Interceptor is now ready for you to attach your hooklink and cast out.

Give it a go. To purchase any of the items shown please click on the above links.

For you surface fishing enthusiasts we have the new Korda floater gear in stock now. The Korda Interceptor Controller is for distance surface fishing. The Interceptor controller has some very clever design features. It will always land the same way up with the orange sight tag on top making it easy to spot. The body of the Interceptor has a slit running along it’s length, which allows you to change bodies without having to break your set up down. Finally the colour, we all know Korda’s track record with underwater filming, well the colour of the Interceptor was the one least visible underwater. For more information or to purchase please click on the above link.
The Korda Kruiser Controller is a totally unique design. The innovative line attachment makes it virtually tangle free. The Kruiser Controller needs no lead or extra weight resulting in quiet water entry. It is the same low visibilty green as the Interceptor. For more information or to purchase please click on the above link.
The Korda Mixa Hooks are the first hook specially designed for surface fishing. They have a silky smooth PTFE coating preventing reflective glint, which could spook wary fish. The Mixa Hook is flat forged for extra strength and has a super short shank for added lightness. They are available in both barbed and barbless patterns. For more information or to purchase please follow the above link.
Finally we have the Korda Kruiser Control Floater Line has again been specifically designed for surface fishing. It is super soft and supple to ensure easy casting of even the lightest controller. Kruiser Control has a low gloss finish and near neutral buoyancy ensuring that it lies unobtrusively in the surface film. It has limited stretch minimising hookpulls. For more information or to purchase please click on the above link.

The Claw rig is a very effective bottom bait rig. With no shrink tube or rigs rings its also very simple to tie.
For the purpose of this demonstration I used the Korda Hybrid Stiff Coated Braid, a Korda Kurv Shank Hook and a 3mm length of the Korda Silicone Tubing.

Step 1.
Remove roughly 4 inches of coating from the Korda Hybrid stiff hooklink and tie a small overhand loop in the stripped end.

Step 2.
Now thread a 3mm section of Silicone tubing onto the hooklink.

Step 3.
Then pass the hook point through the silicone tubing towards the loop tied in step 1. Make sure not the snag the hookpoint in the braid on the way through as this could damage the hooklink.

Step 4.
Thread the hooklink through the back of the eye and then thread your choosen hookbait onto the hair and secure it with a bait stop. Set the hair with about a 1cm gap between the hookbait and hook.

Step 5.
Now whip the hooklink up the shank of the hook 6 times before passing it through the back of the eye to create a knotless knot.

Step 6.
Next thread two of the small Korda Sinkers onto the hooklink. It is easier the strip a small amount of coating off the end of hooklink as the coating makes it too thick to get the sinkers on.


Step 7.
Tie a figure of eight knot in the end of the hooklink.
Double over the end of the hooklink and create a loop like so….

Then pass the end of the doubled over loop through the loop just created….

And again….

Moisten the knot and pull it tight.

Step 8.
Position the Korda Sinkers evenly apart along the hooklink and gently steam it straight over a kettle.

The rig is now ready to be attached to your lead setup and cast out.
Due to the stiffness and nature of this rig it is best fished over firm/hard lakes beds.
Tight Lines
