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.

This Carp Catchers Blog is for those of you who like or would like too do a spot of surface carp fishing. It is fairly easy but there many people that are new to carp fishing so here goes.

These are the components needed for the set up.

Step 1

Loop your mainline through one of the Line/Rig Stops  loops

Step 2

Push one of the line stops towards your mainline

Step 3

Push the line stop onto the mainline loop

Step 4

Push line off mainline onto the mainline itself

Step 5

Cut off the kink in mainline caused by looping it

Step 6

Pull the line stop right up your mainline and thread the mainline through your TFG Surface Missile

Step 7

Tie on one of the size 11 ESP Hi Performance Carp Swivels  using a Palomar Knot

Step 8

Pull the Surface Missile up tight to the swivel

Step 9

Pull the line stop up to the back of the missile. This is what will give a bolt effect to the rig

Step 10

The finished rig. Tie on your hooklink and you are ready to go

This is a carp safe rig in that most surface fishing hooklinks are of a light breaking strain. Should the mainline break the line stop will come off fairly easily. The whitish or opaque finish of the missile will blend in with the whitish/light blue of the background(sky). Don’t forget the carp are looking up!!

Best fishes,
