Just like all Korda's other products Hooklinks and Leaders were only added to their range because what was available on the market did not do exactly the job they asked of it. We have always maintained that they are developers not innovators so you will not see any radically new products, but there are many improvements on a theme. Korda's mono leader to quote Derek Ritchie is 'as limp as my old .......!' Yet it has superb abrasion resistance and knots really well.

The braided leader Arma Kord proved to be up to 5 times more abrasion resistant than the leading competitor when dragged across a brick under 2lb's of load! It is very thin for its diameter and is a nice wishy washy brown colour which we know is difficult to pick out underwater. The IQ is probably the most popular Fluorocarbon on sale in the carp market and rightly so, it stood up to 18 months of rigorous field testing before going into the market. Danny and Chris both had 40's on it during the field testing!
The most recent addition is the Hybrid hooklink, which is a fluorocarbon coated braid. Hybrid uses a brand new braid for the inner material that accepts the fluorocarbon coating process. It is noticeably stiffer than other coated braids and allows you to create a 'proper' combi rig where there is a noticeable difference between the soft and stiff section. The stiff coating does make it harder to use but its well worth it. The final material is version 9 from the field testing and has taken well over two years to perfect. A top tip is to steam the knots in the coated section as you tighten them. This will make them shrink down really small and leave no chance of them tightening during the fight which can cause the hooklink to cut itself.
