Hook Links & Leaders

Arma-Kord - THE original braided leader - Super abrasion resistant - Supplied on 20m spools - 30lb and 50lb versions available - Length: 20m Arma-Kord is an incredibly abrasion resistant braided line, which is also supple and relatively thin for its breaking strain. It has been designed as a high-performance snag or shock leader for extreme snag fishing or long-range work. In tests this braid proved at least 50% more abrasion resistant than the nearest competitor. Its thinner diameter and low-viz brown colour also make it far less detectable underwater.

Put simply, this is the sinking version of our all-conquering Arma-kord leader material. Arma-kord has rightly developed a great reputation for reliability and the addition of this sinking version will simply cement its place at the very top of the tree. Reach for this on demanding waters where snags make a solid snag leader essential.

Dark Matter Tungsten Hooklink Thanks to state-of-the-art technologies we’ve been able to add tungsten granules into the coating of the Dark Matter Coated Braid. This ensures the hook link sinks quickly and remains pinned down on the lake bed. Dark Matter Coated Braid has a semi-stiffness and is perfect to create a variety of modern rigs. During the intensive testing period consultants have been using it in the most demanding situations and caught fish of near record sizes whilst having complete confidence in their hook link.

Korda Dark Matter Drop Off Inline Leaders The Dark Matter Drop Off Inline Leaders provides maximum abrasion resistance with excellent camouflage and sinking properties to hide your end tackle from wary fish. The size 8 ring swivel will fit neatly inside a Korda Inline Lead, creating the perfect drop off lead system. A great way to “dump the lead” when the fishing situation requires it, for example in heavy weed. This simple but effective set up is attached to your mainline via your preferred knot and requires no additional splicing/loop tying. Korda's Dark Matter leaders have tungsten impregnated collars to ensure the leader lays flat to the lake bed, they also have a tested 30lb breaking strain.

Heavy duty, splice able leader material with a dark, weedy green camou colour. it is made from a dyneema/polyster blend that absorbs water and sinks well. Its makeup means that its soft enough to lie well over bottom contours and it has an increased diameter to prevent it from cutting into subsurface snags and act as an effective rubbing leader.

The Ring Swivel leaders have been designed for use with inline leads and the lead clip versions feature the new lead clips, which can be used semi-fixed or running and with lead clips or Kwik Links. You get three leaders per pack. Both versions are 1m long and are tied from our 50lb Kable camouflaged leadcore.

A great multi-purpose braid with a removeable outer coating ideal for fishing over clean lakebeds, or those with sparse weed. 15m per spool.

Hybrid Stiff Hybrid Stiff is THE coated hook link for use over clean lake beds. Its super-stiff, camouflaged coating helps kick your hook bait away from the lead every cast, to ensure perfect presentation. As such, its perfect for use with light baits such as pop-ups or wafters. The two versions, weedy green and gravel brown, have been chosen to blend with most lake bed conditions.

The Korda Kable Leadcore is relatively thin, especially considering its breaking strain, and it is remarkably supple. This ensures that it will cling to the contours of your chosen venue, further aiding with the line’s invisibility. The Kable is also easy to splice, allowing you to achieve a secure loop for ultra-strong rig construction. If you’re an angler who targets intelligent carp who know their hookbaits from their freebies then this is the perfect leadcore to use, as it melts into the lake bed for an ultra stealthy approach to angling.

The Korda Heli Leadcore Leaders are available in either weed or gravel and have 3 leaders per pack. The leaders enable you to present your rig Helicopter Style which is excellent particularly when fishing over silty or weedy lake beds.

Korda Leader Safe The Korda Leader Safe is a compact and tangle-free storage system for up to three complete leaders in the small model and six complete leaders in the large model. It accommodates lead clips and Heli-Safe systems and is designed to fit perfectly in the Korda Tackle Box when the sleeve is removed. The removable sleeve protects your leaders when stored outside the Tackle Box

The second addition to the N-Trap range is slightly stiffer than the N-Trap Soft that has been so popular since its release. The stiffer coating that Semi Stiff boasts is still easily strippable, making it easier than ever to produce top-notch bottom-bait and pop-up presentations. It is available in Weed Green, Silt and Gravel and in 15lb, 20lb and 30lb versions, to cover all UK and Worldwide situations.

Korda Supernatural Braid, It was about time that we released a supple braided material and finally we have bring in the Supernatural. This is a finely woven braid thats mega supple and ultra strong. It will therefore appeal to all you solid PVA bag anglers that like to fish over soft lake beds; such as in weed or over chod. Due to the suppleness, the Supernatural will gently rest over the contours of the lake bed laying flat and out of the carps way.

Featuring a fine diameter to knot strength ratio, it is tough and durable and has just the right amount of stretch to make it perfect for combining with smaller hooks. ESP Zig & Floater mono knots well and although the breaking strain is not underrated, optimum knot strength can be achieved with a carefully tied five turn grinner or palomar. Available on 100m spools and in the following sizes: 8lb (3.63kg) 0.23mm 10lb (4.54kg) 0.26mm 12lb (5.45kg) 0.28mm

ESP Soft Ghost, Now even softer with more stretch, ESP Soft Ghost is an excellent hooklink or leader material particularly for wary carp in clear water. Being a pure fluorocarbon with the same light refractive index as water it is virtually invisible. A specific gravity of 1.78 makes it denser than water so rigs sink quickly and lie tight to the bottom. For maximum knot strength at the swivel end we recommend a 5 turn grinner or palomar and to attach the hook, a knotless knot or domhoff whipping knot.

ESP tapered shock leaders are not just tapered nylon but an advanced low stretch polymer with a super slick finish. This low friction surface simply flies through the rings and the greatly reduced stretch means all casting power is transmitted directly to the lead. 15 LB to 45 LB
