Gardner Camflex Leadfree 45lb
CamFlex Leadfree leader is a superb fast sinking leader material that has been woven using 100% heavy PTFE fibres, so it has the highest possible weight for a non-core leader material.
The amazing supple nature means that material will hug the contours of lake bed when it is fished slack, and feels ‘natural’ when a fish brushes against it.
The subtle flecked finish of this material blends in superbly, offering excellent rig camouflage in almost any aquatic environment.
Thanks to the PTFE fibres used in CamFlex’s construction the colour doesn’t darken dramatically when it is wet, so the shade that you see on the spool is the colour of the leader when it is on the lake bed.
The ‘Weedy Green’ is the perfect colour for use whilst fishing amongst a wide variety of pond weeds or blanket weed. Quite simply – it blends in superbly.
This shade of green also works really well over pale lake beds, like clean sand and gravel.
The Muddy Silt has a darker overall shade, and is the perfect colour for use on lakes that have darker coloured muddy beds and venues where the bottom is covered in dark filamentous algae.
The braiding used in CamFlex Leadfree means that it is easy to splice and offers extremely strong and really neat connections between mainline and leader plus joining onto terminal components.
CamFlex Leadfree combines a low diameter with an amazing limp, super soft silky feel and outstanding sinking and abrasion properties!

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 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 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

Thinking Anglers Sub Fleck 'Dark Camo' 45lb 10m
Sub-Fleck is a soft, natural feeling, incredibly heavy spliceable leader material, that is manufactured from 100% PTFE fibres. It is extremely fast sinking, offers high-level strength and abrasion resistance, whilst remaining very smooth and supple, and is extremely easy to splice securely.
The ‘Dark Camo’ flecked weave offers amazing camouflage, blending ineffectively against almost any aquatic background. Sub-Fleck retains its colour extremely well because the PTFE fibres themselves are coloured, as opposed to being over-dyed which inevitably fades much faster in use.
Sub-Fleck feels is natural to the touch, so carp feeding near the rig are less aware of the terminal tackle. It’s a fantastic alternative to leadcore when used conventionally and is also a material that excels when being used as a long Chod leader, for fishing chods or balanced baits high on weed.
*Please note that our popular TA ‘Leadcore Safety Top Beads’ work perfectly with this material, helping your construct bullet-proof and safe leaders.

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.
