Korda Leadcore Chod System
This incorporates our No-Trace System and creates a completely safe set up for use on leadcore, and similar diameter leader materials such as the fused Dark Matter range.
It is designed such that should your main line break above the leader knot, your hook link can easily come free from the leader and all the fish is left with is the trace, rather than towing around a leader, or worst still a lead as well.
Even some of the safer leadcore helicopter set-ups have always suffered from the potential for weed or debris to build up on the knot and potentially prevent rubber beads from pulling over it and allowing the hook link to come free.
But the No-Trace Beads solve that issue because as soon as they are pulled free from the retaining rubber Chod Sleeve, which holds them securely in place on the leader for casting and normal use, the slit in the side allows the bead to drop off of the leader altogether, leaving your size 11 Ring Swivel (not supplied as part of this system) to easily be pulled over any leadcore knot or splice.
At the lead end a Barrel Bead acts as a buffer.
The whole system is easily fitted onto your leader and can be used with both chod rigs and conventional helicopter set-ups, such as a Heli-Safe System.
Each Leadcore Chod Safety System contains: 8 x Chod Sleeves; 8 x Barrel Beads; and 12 x No-Trace Beads.Key features

Korda Dark Matter Ring Swivel Leader*
These fused leaders have integral sections of tungsten, ensuring that they stay pinned to the lakebed and help to avoid spooking fish.
The Ring Swivel Leader simply comes with one of our size 8 Ring Swivels fused onto one end of it, and with a fused loop at the other end for easy attachment, and detachment, from your main line – the simplest way is to attach it loop-to-loop style.
It is the perfect choice for helicopter set-ups and can easily be adapted to fit a Heli-Safe System, plus as long as you moisten the leader first, our Inline Leads, Lead Clips, Running Rigs, and even Bait-Up Method Feeders can easily be slid down the leader to the Ring Swivel, and located in place.
The 1m length Dark Matter material used for these leaders is very abrasion resistant and has a breaking strain of 30lb.
There are also 50cm and 30cm versions if you require a shorter leader - such as for long range casting.
Each packet contains one leader.
Korda Kable Leadcore Ring Swivel 1m Leaders
These ready-tied Kable leadcore leaders are as good as anything that you can construct yourself and save you the time, effort, and any element of doubt that you’ve done it correctly.
The only decision you have to make, is what length leader suits the type of fishing situation as the leaders are available in 1m and 50cm long versions.
Each leader is constructed from our incredibly tough and fast-sinking Kable leadcore, with a Size 8 Ring Swivel spliced to one end of it and a spliced loop at the other end so that it can quickly be attached and detached from your main line as required.
The Size 8 Ring Swivel version is extremely versatile as they can be used in conjunction with various Korda components such as Lead Clips, Inline Leads and Running Rigs, giving you the flexibility to change your approach quickly and efficiently.
Each pack contains three Kable Ring Swivel Leaders, in a choice of Weed/Silt or Gravel Brown colours.
Korda Leader Safe
The Leader Safe is a compact way of storing your pre-tied leadcore and Dark Matter leaders, in a way that avoids them becoming damaged or tangled when not in use.
Two different sizes are available – small will hold three leaders, and large can be used to store six leaders – and the leaders are stored on the hard plastic insert which has been designed with slots to hold Hybrid Lead Clips, Heli-Safe Stems, or swivels (depending on what you have attached to the end of the leader), securely in place when not in use, with the rest of the leader wound around the Leader Safe in the corresponding channel.
A clear, hard plastic outer casing means that they can’t come unravelled – although if you are using them in conjunction with the Tackle Box, this case will need to be removed in order for them to fit.Key features

Specially designed to take Hybrid Lead Clips and Heli-Safe System

Korda Kable Leadcore 50lb**
Leadcore has been around for years, but like everything else that we produce we wanted to make a better version on it, and so we came up with Kable.
It is designed to be very strong, with a breaking strain of 50lb, and abrasion resistant, and the alternating bands of subtle colouration means that it almost melts into the lake bed and is very hard for fish to spot.
Kable also splices very well, and these loops are the perfect way to connect it to your main line so that the leadcore leader can be re-used without having to cut it.
It comes in a choice of two colours – Weed/Silt or Gravel – and is supplied on a 7m or 25m spool.
For extreme fishing situations, such as on some lakes on the continent, there is a 70lb Kable XT version available, on a 15m spool, in Weedy Green or Gravel Brown.

Korda LongChuck Tapered Leaders
These shock leaders have been designed specifically for long range fishing to help you achieve maximum distance without the risk of a crack-off, and are perfect when used in conjunction with the Long Chuck main line.
There are three different combinations of Long Chuck Tapered Leader, which allows you to match it to the breaking strain of main line that you are using, thus ensuring the neatest joining knot possible and also reducing the risk of ‘frap-ups’ (this usually occurs when different diameter lines are joined and a sudden change to the way it spirals off of the reel through the butt ring).
Each leader is 10m long and features 8m of 30lb/0.47mm breaking strain line, to absorb the force of the cast as well as giving some protection when playing a fish due to its abrasion resistance – ideal when fishing over gravel bars – and then the last 2m tapers down from 0.47mm (30lb) to either 0.27mm (10lb), 0.30mm (12lb), or 0.33 mm (15lb) diameter, depending on which of the three versions you choose.
The tapered leaders feature the same properties as the Long Chuck main line, with ultra-low stretch to help compress the rod (heavy mono is typically quite stretchy and hampers the cast); low water absorption; lightweight for its breaking strain, as it is clear (dye adds extra weight), so it stays in the air longer; and a high breaking strain to diameter ratio to reduce drag.
Each spool contains five leaders.
