Korda Big Grippa Swivel Lead
These are perfect for any situation when you need the lead to grip the bottom more effectively, thanks to their studded surface.
That makes the Big Grippa ideal for use on rivers; for boating rigs out at extreme range where undertow could be an issue; and for casting onto any slope, such as an island margin or gravel bar, as they will stay in place far more easily than other shaped leads.
As well as for carp fishing, both in the UK and on the continent, the Big Grippa is also very popular with barbel and chub anglers.Key features
Grip the bottom
Ideal for rivers or when boating baits out at range
Stick to slopes and won't roll down them
Also popular for barbel and chub fishing
Range of sizes to cover all situations
Korda Heli-Safe
This ingenious system revolutionised fishing with helicopter rigs, as it meant that leads could consistently be discharged as soon as you hooked a fish, whenever the situation meant that this was essential.
As well as dropping the lead when you are fishing in very weedy or snaggy situations, it is also popular with anyone using a chod rig, where ejecting the lead increases your chances of landing a fish, especially at long range where a heavy lead is being used.
There is also the option though to fit a small plastic collar (supplied) which fixes the lead in place, for use in situations where dropping it isn’t necessary, but you still want the versatility that the Heli-Safe System offers.
It can be used in conjunction with leaders – such as any ring swivel leader in our Dark Matter or Kable Leadcore ranges, which can be adapted to fit the Heli-Safe bead – or with a naked set-up with your main line straight through to it.
Heli-Safe System works perfectly in conjunction with our Leadcore Chod Safety or Naked Chod Safety systems.
Each pack contains two Heli-Safe beads, in a choice of green or brown, along with all the bits you need to make it work – including instructions.Key features

Discharges the lead if required

Korda Dark Matter Nano Tubing
Constructed from the same materials as the extremely popular Dark Matter Tubing but with a thinner outer diameter and a smaller bore, making the Nano version perfect for long distance casting.
Nano Tubing is 30% thinner than the original version, making it more supple, whilst reducing drag when casting.
As per its bigger brother, the Nano version is impregnated with tungsten granules, helping it mould to the contours of the lakebed.
With its smaller bore, Nano Tubing can be used with line up to 0.40mm diameter and available in three versions: weed, gravel and silt.
Supplied in packs of 2m.
To compliment the Nano Tubing a Dark Matter Nano Tail Rubber is also available, with smaller bore and slimmer profile to match the characteristics of the tubing.
Soft, supple and super heavy
30% thinner than normal DM tubing
Impregnated with tungsten
Suitable for lines up to 0.40mm
Used in conjunction with Nano Tail Rubber
Korda Sinkers
These tungsten impregnated rubber weights are a brilliant way of ensuring that your hook link remains pinned to the bottom and reducing the chance of it spooking a carp – and unlike rig putty, they won’t fall off all the time on the cast or when playing a fish!
Sinkers are incredibly easy to use and are simply slid off of the wire loop that they come on and onto your hook link when you are tying it.
Each pack contains 9 Sinkers. Key features
Pin down your hook link
Tungsten impreganted
Grip and stay in place
Easy to thread on
Korda Tail Rubber Nano
Nano Tail Rubbers have been specifically designed to work in conjunction with the Dark Matter Nano Tubing.
These tail rubbers feature a 1.4mm bore which creates a seamless join along the thinner Nano Tubing, helping to prevent tangles when fishing long range.
The Nano Rubbers are compatible with all Korda Lead Clips and Inline Leads, aiding the construction of a safe, anti-tangle system.
Key features

Allows lead to be ejected

Korda Compac Pouches
With six different sizes in the Compac range, these EVA zipped cases are perfect for storing all manner of different items of tackle, or even other items that you take fishing with you.
They are all made from EVA, which means that they are very light and durable, as well as being waterproof when stood on wet ground, thanks to the welded seams.
Each Compac has a clear plastic lid to allow you to see the contents without having to open it, and the interior is accessed via a two-way zip – the lid also has an interior mesh pocket for storing smaller essential items that you may need quick access to.
The range includes everything from the smaller 100 and 110 sizes – which are perfect to be used to store leads, or for smaller tackle items such as baiting needles and the bits you need to tie a rig; through to the medium 125 and 140 sizes, which will hold a Tackle Safe or Mini Rig Safe, plus spools of hook link material, or even a set of rig bits specific to one type of fishing, such as your floater kit; and the large 200 and 220 Compacs can easily accommodate marker floats, spods, bottles of Goo, Chod Safe, Zig Box or any other larger items – they even make a great wash bag for all the bits you need when you’re fishing!
The different uses for the Compacs are only limited by your imagination! There is also a 150 size especially for the Tackle Safe.
They come in a choice of green or Kamo.

Korda Spinner Rig Kurv
Most anglers will have heard of the spinner rig as it has been featured prominently on many of our videos and is a favourite of a lot of our sponsored anglers, but if you don’t have the time or confidence to tie your own, then this ready-tied version is the perfect solution.
It is constructed in exactly the same way as any of our top anglers would do it, and features a 5.5 inch Boom hook link with a Kurv Shank hook attached via one of our Spinner Swivels which has been crimped on to provide a very strong connection.
At the other end is a crimped loop which can be attached to any of our quick change style systems.
The rig can be used multiple times simply by changing the hook, which is very easy to do.
There is a choice of size 4 or 6 hooks, in barbed or barbless, and each packet contains one rig.

Korda Spinner Hook Sections Krank Hook
These ready-constructed hook sections for the popular spinner rig take all of the time and effort out of making them yourself.
All you need to do is crimp the ring swivel onto a stiff hook link material such as Boom – or tie them on if using a coated braid to form a more supple boom – tie on a hookbait, and you’re ready to cast out.
They are constructed using either a Krank or Kurv Shank hook - so you can choose your favourite pattern, with both working very well with this rig – on a Spinner Swivel, and a Kicker ensures that it sits at the perfect angle.
Each Spinner Hook Section has a Micro Rig Swivel already mounted on the shank, plus a Hook Bead set at the optimum position.
If the hook becomes blunt you can easily switch it for a fresh one, and ten Hook Beads are also included.
They are available in barbed or barbless versions, in size 4 or 6, with three Spinner Hook Sections in a pack.Key features

Korda Dark Matter Heli-Safe Leader
These Dark Matters leaders incorporate our Heli-Safe System and can be fished with any helicopter style set-up, whether that be a conventional hook link or a chod rig.
This leader has tungsten collars impregnated into it, to ensure it stays pinned to the bottom. It also incorporates the Chod Safe System which ensures that your hook link can come free of the leader in the event of your main line breaking, and your hook link can be easily attached via a QC Ring Swivel.
The DM Heli-Safe Leader comes in a choice of 1m or 50cm lengths, which gives you enough space to move the top bead well up it, such as when fishing it in deeper silt or weed, so as to ensure your presentation is good when using the longer version.
Some venues now have rules restricting the maximum length of your leader, and that is where the 50cm version could come into play – it is also great when fishing at long range as it will cast further.
The other end of this leader has a fused loop, which your main line can either be tied to, or to allow the leader to easily be taken off, the loop-to-loop method is best.
The Dark Matter leader material is very abrasion resistant, has a breaking strain of 30lb, and can be matched to whatever type of lake bed you are fishing over, as it comes in a choice of Clear, Weed, or Gravel.
Each pack contains one leader.

Korda Katapult
The incredibly popular Katapult has been re-designed to make it even better than before, and a new even lighter version has been added to the range.
The colour of the Katapult frame is now different for each type of elastic – heavy (black); medium (green); and light (brown) – to make it easy to quickly grab the right one out of your bag.
The new ‘light’ catapult has replaced the old model - which has become the ‘medium’ in the range – and features even lighter elastic, along with a larger pouch than the other two models, and is ideal for mass baiting with particles at closer ranges.
Each Katapult features a lightweight hollow, yet very strong, nylon frame with a textured handle that has been ergonomically designed to fit in your hand comfortably as well as allowing you to get a good grip, even with wet hands or ones covered in particle juice!
The pouches feature drainage holes as well as extra strengthening around the area where it attaches to the elastic (which can be replaced and new elastic fitted to the connectors with ease), and are shaped to ensure that your bait lands where you want it to, allowing for tight grouping with multiple boilies, tiger nuts or similar, when putting a few out at a time (filling the pouch will give a wider spread).
A tag at the back of the pouch allows you to get a good grip, which improves accuracy as it isn’t slipping from your hand prematurely.
Tangled elastics and twist have always been annoying when trying to put out larger amounts of bait, as it makes the process much slower, but that problem has been alleviated thanks to the use of size 10 ball bearing swivels and welded rings to connect the elastic the frame. Spare elastics and pouches are available separately for all three models.
Key features
Available in Light, Medium & Heavy
Very strong nylon frame
Ergonomic handle
10 ball bearing swivel to alleviate tangles
Korda Carp Line Mono
This is a great all-round line which is very tough but is cheap enough that you can change it regularly if you need to.
It offers brilliant value for money, and is very abrasion resistant, so is the perfect choice when fishing in weedy or snaggy situations, but despite being very tough it also casts very well and gives a high knot strength.
Carp Line is a subtle green colour, which blends in well with any lake bed, and it has low stretch, which helps when feeling your lead down.
It is available in a range of breaking strains to cover any fishing situation.Key features
