Drennan Wide Gape Specialist Hooks
Wide Gape Specialist Micro Barbed hooks are short-shank, eyed and have a bronze finish.
The wide gape and curved point is an ideal shape for a wide range of baits and makes an excellent hook pattern for hair rigs.
Curved points seem to hold in better and less fish are lost.
Being curved, they are also less prone to blunting and damage than straight points.

ESP PVA Bags MK2The special PVA film is tough & strong, yet melts down without residue and most importantly, does so within the correct time frame.
Many thin film bags begin meltdown on the descent and release the bait prematurely.
Plain PVA Bags are suitable for use with oil-based liquid additives and flavourings.
The perforated PVA Bags have multiple small holes over their whole surface so pockets of air cannot remain trapped inside the bag.
This makes them ideal for distance casting and ensures they sink rapidly in deep water.
When fully loaded with pellets, oil-based liquids and the lead, sock bags can weigh up to 6.5oz (184g)
Provided the lead is placed right at the bottom of the bag, its long narrow shape maintains good casting range and accuracy.
Bulk bags can be packed out with large amounts of boilies and particles.
The PVA film is tough and impact resistant but when fully loaded with bait and lead, they can weigh up to 7.5oz (212g) so casting range is restricted.
Multi bags can weigh up to 4.5oz (127g), allowing a decent amount of bait to be delivered accurately.
The tough film survives the impact and reaches the bottom in deep water.
Mini bags are the smallest of the range so they are ideal for distance casting. The consistent, residue-free breakdown ensures the whole bag will reach the bottom even in deep water.

Korda Kurv Shank Hooks
The Kurv Shank is a very versatile hook and can be used with both pop-up and bottom bait rigs, including popular presentations such as the KD and IQ D-rig.
It has great hooking properties thanks to an aggressively in-turned eye and curved shank, which helps it to flip round and take a hold inside the mouth, even when using it without Shrink Tube or a Kicker.
Hooking potential is also aided by its long, needle sharp point. It also comes in a barbless version.

Korda Solidz PVA Rig
If you don’t have the time or inclination to tie your own rigs for solid PVA bag fishing, then these ones are the perfect choice.
They are designed to be used in conjunction with our Solidz PVA bags, and are the perfect length for this style of fishing, at just 4.5 inches long.
They are tied using a Wide Gape hook along with a short piece of shrink tube to help it turn and take hold in a fishes mouth, and this is attached to a suitable breaking strain of ultra-supple Supernatural braid to match the hook size.
At the other end there is a loop which can either be attached to a QC Swivel, or loop-to-loop style to a swivel or ring swivel on your chosen lead system.
Different sizes of hookbait can be used on the same rig thanks to the Extenda Stops (supplied). Key features

Korda Anti Tangle Sleeves
These tapered rubber Anti Tangle Sleeves neatly slide over the eye of your hook link swivel and help to reduce the chances of your rig becoming tangled whilst it is being cast out.
They are soft enough to easily slide over a swivel eye, but also have enough rigidity to kick your rig away from your main line – which is especially useful when fishing with zig rigs.
They are also perfect for use with our QC (quick change) clips to neatly finish off the rig and allow it to be changed quickly when needed.
You can match them to the type of lakebed that you are fishing over, and the rest of your rig components, as they come in clay, gravel, silt, or weed versions. Pack of 25.Key features

Korda Tournament Casting Swivel
When getting the maximum amount of casting distance from your chosen leade, the shape is important; there is nothing better than the Tournament Casting Swivel design.
It is a similar shape to the original Distance Casting Swivel lead, but is slightly more nose-heavy to ensure that it flies further and is even more stable, especially in any cross wind, and means that you can get away with using a lighter lead than you otherwise might have been able to, and still achieve the same distance. Its streamlined shape also reduces the chances of tangles.
Key features
Perfect shape for long range fishing
Weight-forward design
Very stable in flight
Korda Heli Lead
The Heli Lead has been designed specifically for use with our Heli-Safe System and features a ring instead of a swivel, which gives a much neater connection.
The weight-forward, streamlined shape of these leads means that they are very stable in flight and can be cast a very long way.
The camouflage painted finish is very tough and chip resistant, and will blend in well with the lake bed. Key features
For use with the Heli-Safe System
Attached via a ring
Streamlined shape for long range
Camoflage painted finish
Korda Needle
Braided Hair Needle Part of our comprehensive range of baiting tools, the Braided Hair Needle is, as the name implies, for use with braided hook link materials, or any sort of braided hair material.
It is sharp and strong enough that it can be pushed through any baits without splitting them, and the ‘crook’ design will allow a hair loop to be pulled through the bait without the needle getting caught up in the fibres of the braid.
It features a hi-viz handle to prevent loss, and its ergonomic design means it is very easy to grip and use, even with cold or wet hands. Key features

Splicing Needle This needle is perfect for splicing loops into materials such as our Kable leadcore or DuraKord leader, thus making them very easy to attach and detach from your main line without the need to keep cutting them shorter.
The Slicing Needle features a gated latch that closes sufficiently tightly that it will help to grip a tag end whilst it is being pulled through a splice to create a loop, and with no danger of the needle getting stuck in the fibres of the material being spliced.
As well as for splicing, this 7cm long needle also comes in useful for threading baits onto PVA stringers. It features a hi-viz orange handle to prevent loss, and its ergonomic design means it is very easy to grip and use, even with cold or wet hands. Key features

It has a recessed barb to ensure that it will retain your hair loop in place whilst it is pulled through the bait, and despite its name, it can also be used with mono as well as braid.

Korda Dark Matter Ultra Heavy Tungsten Rig Tube
Dark Matter anti-tangle tubing is quite simply the new benchmark for rig tubing. It's the heaviest on the market, and is ridiculously easy to thread.

Dark Matter tubing is super limp too, which helps it to follow the contours of the lake bed, keeping your setup well hidden.
We make it in three colours, Weed Green, Silt and Gravel, which allows you to closely match the tubing to the lake bed that you're fishing over.
