  KORDA LINES & HOOKLINKS
  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.

Korda Intelligent Hook LinkThe Intelligent Hooklink
Have you ever used a hooklink that knew not to tangle? One which the fish could hardly see and one that made it more difficult than any other to eject? Open this packet and maybe for the very first time you will be. IQ is fluorocarbon which refracts light in almost the same way as water making it almost invisible when immersed. It is stiffer than normal nylon so improving anti-tangle and anti-eject properties. Team Korda have extensively field tested all breaking strains and were so impressed they were compelled to add it to the already impressive range. 10lb is ideal for finely tuned open water situations. 15lb is a superb all rounder and 25lb forms an impressive Stiff link.

Xtra Tough Shock Leader Line
Korda Xtra Tough Shock Leader LineThere have not been any dedicated leader materials for carp fishing which we felt left a gaping hole in a carp angler's armoury. Amnesia had been popular but it was think for its breaking strain which lead to large leader knots that rattled through the rings, it was soft though and knotted well but it had very little abrasion resistance. Its performance came from its Diameter rather than the qualities of the material itself. I like most people had used Amnesia but felt a low cost dedicated leader with the great casting qualities, good knotting and high abrasion resistance would be a big benefit to my own fishing. This was the motivation behind the XT leader material. The only people to work with when it comes to such a material are the American giants Berkeley. I had used their lines and braids for many years and always found them to have all the qualities mentioned above, but still there was not one single line sold on the right sized spools to make it affordable or easy to store. We persuaded them to spool a highly supple yet abrasive resistant line perfect for leaders, we requested a low vis green and that's what we got!

Korda Arma Kord Braided LeaderArma-Kord
Arma-Kord is an incredibly abrasion resistant braided line, which is also supple and thin for its strength. It has been designed as a high performance snag /shock leader for extreme snag or long range situations. In tests this braid proved at least 50 percent more abrasion resistant than the nearest competitor, its thinner diameter and low vis brown colour also makes it far less detectable underwater.

Hybrid Stiff & Soft HooklinkHybrid Stiff & Soft Hooklink
Korda 20lb and 30lb version will best suit today's carp angler, many people use far too heavy a leader, in reality only the very best casters can break 30lb mono on the cast. If your line snaps on the cast and the lead sails out straight into the lake you have not broken the leader! It has wrapped around the butt ring and snapped itself. A true break from the force of the cast happens before the rod is fully loaded so the cast can go up in the air off to the side, basically anywhere but straight out. If you have small Baitrunner type reels with 8-12lb line then the 20lb will be for you and if you have heavier lines on big pit reels and 3lb or above test curve rods then the 30lb is better. I use a 2 rod length long leader on my marker rod so the marker float doesn't tangle on the cast which can happen with braid straight through, for your information I use 20lb Berkeley whiplash on my spod and marker rod, it is the same thickness as 4lb mono and cast like a dream, just make sure you keep it wet at all times by constantly splashing the spool with water. Make sure you have at least 3 turns on the reel when the lead is hanging ready for a cast, 10 turns is about the maximum although top anglers have used the full 90m of the 20lb straight on the reel for close range snag fishing with very good effect. Always straighten the leader to begin with by laying it out on the grass and pulling tightly through your fingers or a towel, curly leaders cause wrap rounds! If the leader has been on the reel for a while repeat the straightening process. Also, clean your line by winding it through a wet towel at the end of the session and it will keep the visibility low, dirty line is easier to see!
