Fox Edges Arma Point Wide Gape Beaked Micro Barbed Hooks
It had to happen didn’t it? Our Edges range of terminal tackle has taken the carping world by storm over the past three years with anglers across the globe appreciating that we had taken rig component design to a whole new level.
There was of course one item of terminal tackle that our product development team hadn’t given the Edges treatment too, and that quite simply is because it has taken them many years to design, develop and test this range.
We haven’t simply picked up a hook manufacturers catalogue and picked a few patterns off the shelf, oh no, we have drawn up the patterns from scratch using the latest CAD software packages to ensure that every single detail in every single pattern is exactly how they need to be for the modern carp angler.
The end result is an Edges Arma Point hook range that features eight patterns, and that are in our opinion and that of our angling consultants, the strongest and sharpest out of the packet hooks you will find on the market.

Korda LongChuck Clear
The new Long Chuck main line has been designed specifically for fishing at long range and will add extra yards to your cast compared to a standard mono.
It is ultra-low stretch to enable quicker compression of the rod blank, and alongside the fact that it has very low water absorption, it also helps when trying to feel the lead down at range or in a cross wind.
That low water absorption also helps ensure that the line stays lightweight and stays in the air for longer, thus helping to lower the drag on the lead during flight, but the biggest factor in achieving that is the fact that the line is clear – adding a dye to a mono line increases the weight, as well as altering the molecular structure and creating more stretch, all of which means that coloured lines won’t cast as far.
Long Chuck also features a high breaking strain to diameter ratio, which significantly reduces both the drag and the weight of the line.

Since featuring on the Korda Underwater series filmed at Norton Disney, the buzz around these Shot on the Hook weights has been immense and there’s been a massive resurgence around the use of this rig since the film was launched.
The Shot on the Hook improves the hooking potential of any wafter, bottom bait or snowman rig, essentially creating a heavier point to enable the hook to grab hold, ensuring quick and efficient hook holds, turning more pick-ups in to bites.
These hook attachments are created from pure tungsten, which provides an exceptional density-to-volume ratio. This high density, pure tungsten allowed us to achieve substantial weight while using minimal material, creating a compact yet appropriately weighted Shot on the Hook.
This reusable pure tungsten shot can be used over and over. It features a small rubber moulding that fits over the hook point to secure your shot in place. When it's time to switch hooks, simply slide it off if you're using barbless hooks, or if you're using barbed hooks, crush the barb first before removing.
Danny Fairbrass “Nothing in recent years has made more difference to my bottom bait catch rate. I wanted to rush it out, but Damian and the product team out voted me to make something ‘special’. I’m very pleased to be overruled on this occasion as the end result is an easy to use and re use product that suits any kind of bottom bait or wafter rig, from plastic corn on a size 8 to a 24mm boilie on a size 2.”
The Shot on the Hook comes in three sizes; 0.30g, 0.40g and 0.50g and are supplied in a convenient slide top storage compartment to keep them safe and secure in your tackle box, with ten shot per packet.
DF's Insight: I would personally recommend the small 0.3g version for hook sizes 8, 6 and 4 with small baits up to 14mm. For slightly bigger baits of around 16-18mm and hook sizes 6, 4 and 2 my choice would the 0.4g Shot on the Hook.
For those anglers using larger hooks and big baits of 20 and 24mm diameter we’ve got the 0.5g version. The idea is that the lighter the bait the less force the carp will use to suck them in. Using the lighter shot will give it more opportunity to get in the fish's mouth.

Korda Ready Zigs
These ready-tied zig rigs are incredibly convenient and have been tied to exacting standards, so that they are as good as anything that you can tie yourself!
These Ready Zigs are great for anyone who is new to zig fishing, or for people who prefer the convenience of just being able to unwind the correct length of zig from the EVA spool which they come supplied on, and then wind it back on at the end of the session if the hook is still sharp.
There are four different lengths available to cover different situation – 12ft, 10ft, 8ft, and 6ft – and all are tied using a size 10 Mixa hook to 8lb line, with a loop at the other end for each attachment to a QC Swivel or similar.
Each Spool contains three zig rigs
Each EVA spool also comes with three different coloured foam hook baits
Drennan Carp Method Barbless Hair Rigs
Barbless Carp Method Hair Rigs are convenient, pre-tied hooklengths complete with a hair-rig and are perfect for the Method feeder.
The hooks are a double extra strong pattern which uses the same proven shape as the Barbless Carp Feeder. Its special bend definitely helps to hook and land more carp.
Tied to 3” (8cm) of mono, these Method Hair Rigs are presented lying straight and flat rather than partly coiled.
Ready to use, straight from the packet and even with the thickest mono used, the line has not taken up an unfortunate ‘coil’ or set.
The length of the hair has been carefully matched to the hook size, getting progressively longer from 18’s to 8’s to correctly accommodate the different sizes of bait appropriate to each hook.

Korda Zig Line
When zig fishing you will usually get more action if you are fishing as subtly as possible whilst still giving yourself a high chance of landing anything that you hook.
As the hook link material is sticking straight up off of the bottom, it needs to be as unobtrusive as possible, and Zig Line was developed specifically for this purpose.
It has a subtle green tint to help it blend in and is a low diameter for its breaking strain, whilst still offering enough strength and abrasion resistance to land anything that you hook, and also knotting very well.Key features
