Naked Tail Rubber provides the same protection and neat finish as standard tail rubber, but in a low-profile, colour-matched finish for ultra-stealthy presentations.
Overview: The Naked Tail Rubber is designed for anglers who want a minimal, near-invisible look to their terminal assemblies. It protects knots and offers a smooth surface for the rig to sit or release from a clip. The naked finish removes bright colours and gloss so the rubber blends more naturally with most lakebeds. It is ideal for clear water or pressured venues where small visual advantages help. The rubber retains flexibility and toughness while keeping a very discreet profile.
Why choose Naked Tail Rubber:
Less visible on the lakebed than brighter rubbers.
Keeps knot protection and release abilities without added shine.
Works well with low-visibility rigs and dark hooklink material.
Good for pressured waters and clear conditions.
Maintains rubber resilience for long sessions.
Design and features:
Matt, low-reflective finish for stealth.
Flexible material that resists tearing.
Correct size for common clip and swivel linkage.
Easy to slip on before tying and seat over the knot after tying.
Supplied in small packets for easy spares carrying.
How to use:
Fit over leader before tying knot as normal.
Push up to cover knot area once tied.
Ensure it seats without blocking swivel movement if used with quick-change systems.
Check for slippage before casting.
Applications:
Low-visibility, stealth-focused rigs.
Heli, inline and lead clip systems.
Delicate pop-up and balanced bait setups where less bulk and less shine matters.
Club waters and pressured venues where small presentation changes help.
Practical tips:
Keep in a dry container and warm slightly in cold weather for easier fitting.
Replace if it hardens or shows cracking after extended use.
Use with dark hooklink and matte tubing to maintain overall low visibility.
Care and storage:
Rinse after use, dry and store away from sunlight.
Avoid contact with solvents that may soften the rubber.
Keep in a sealed box to avoid dust and grime sticking to the surface.
Who it suits:
Anglers fishing pressured or clear waters.
Those who prefer discreet, modern presentations.
Match anglers and stealth-orientated carp fishers.
Anyone wanting knot protection without adding shine.
Why anglers like Naked Tail Rubber:
It keeps protection without making rigs more visible.
Simple to use and effective in action.
Adds little bulk but gives full function.
Helps rigs remain subtle and convincing in the water.
Summary: Korda Naked Tail Rubber is a stealthy knot-protection sleeve for modern rigs. It keeps knots safe, helps the rig release or sit neatly, and blends into the bed for low-visibility presentations. Keep a pack in your kit for pressured and clear waters.

Overview: The Hybrid Tail Rubber is designed for anglers who want a balance between flexibility and firmness.

Durable for repeated use across sessions.
How to use:
Fit over leader before tying and push over the knot to protect it.
Ensure it sits snugly against the knot and clip interface.

Applications:
Hybrid lead clips and ring systems.
Inline lead systems where a snug sleeve helps release.
Heavy or abrasive setups where knot protection is critical.
Rigs that need some controlled give in the tail area.
Practical tips:
Slightly warm in cold weather to ease fitting but do not overheat.
