The Nano Super-Heavy Tungsten Rig Tubing offers ultra-thin, high-density tubing so you can add pinpoint ballast with almost no visible bulk.
Overview: The Dark Matter Nano tubing takes the concept of tungsten tubing and reduces diameter for ultra-fine rig work. The 2m run of Nano tubing is intended for anglers who need the smallest possible profile while still gaining the weight benefits of tungsten. It fits neatly over micro leaders, thin tail rubbers and small hooklink tubing. Nano tubing is ideal when even small increases in mass change the bait balance or rig lie significantly. The dark, matt finish keeps the tube hidden against most beds.
Why Nano matters:
Minimal diameter for the neatest rigs.
Adds mass without making your rig look heavy or unnatural.
Ideal for tight presentations and micro-tuning.
Works well with micro PVA and surface work where visibility is key.
Lets you add weight where tiny changes matter.
Design and features:
Ultra-thin Nano diameter for micro rigs.
Super-heavy tungsten content for maximal density.
Dark matt finish to blend with surroundings.
Flexible but retains shape when positioned correctly.
Easily trimmed to small rings for multiple uses.
How to use:
Cut tiny collars or sleeves for placement near the hook.
Slide over micro tubing or tail rubber for hidden ballast.
Use on loop-to-loop rigs to alter lie without bulk.
Combine with micro putty beads or small tungsten crimps for exact balance.
Suitable tactics:
Surface and shallow-water balanced baits where discreet weight helps.
Micro zig rigs and delicate pop-up setups.
Long sessions in pressured waters needing subtle presentation changes.
Rigs where you need to hide tiny weight additions from inspecting carp.
Practical tips:
Use fine scissors to cut Nano tubing cleanly.
Keep the tubing lengths very short to avoid slippage.
Test balance in shallow water to see the effect on bait stance.
Store in a small tube to avoid tangles and kinks.
Care and storage:
Keep dry and away from strong solvents or oils that might degrade the finish.
Store in a rigid container to prevent crushing.
Replace if the surface cracks after long-term use.
Who should use Nano tubing:
Tackle builders working on the smallest rigs.
Anglers who fish very pressured water and need micro advantages.
Those creating surface or near-surface rigs that must remain subtle.
Anyone wanting to add tungsten density without visible bulk.
Why anglers pick Nano:
It allows near-invisible ballast addition.
It is effective in small doses for fine-tuning presentation.
Compatible with the full range of micro rig components.
Easy to work with when kept short and tidy.
Summary: Korda Dark Matter Super-Heavy Tungsten Rig Tubing Nano (2m) delivers tiny, high-density tubing for the most discreet rig tuning. Use it to add hidden weight with almost no visual impact and to refine bait balance where every gram matters.

Korda Spread-Em (5m) Woven PVA Tape — wide woven PVA tape that gives strong, reliable seals for big bags and heavy spod mixes.
USP first:
Spread-Em is a wide, woven PVA tape that seals large PVA parcels and heavy spod mixes with much greater strength than narrow tape.
Overview: Spread-Em is made for anglers who need solid, repeatable seals on big PVA bags and parcels. The tape is wider than standard PVA tape. It is woven to give extra tensile strength. That makes it ideal for sealing dense mixes, pellet loads and tightly packed spod bags. The woven construction spreads the stress across a bigger area. This reduces the chance of splits or leaks in flight. Spread-Em is easy to use at the bank. It bonds cleanly to PVA film and meshes and dissolves once submerged. It is a simple upgrade when you need extra security on larger bait deliveries.
Key benefits:
Stronger seals for large bags and dense mixes.
Wide coverage to reduce seam failure under stress.
Woven structure resists tearing in flight.
Easy to apply and bonds reliably to PVA film/mesh.
Dissolves cleanly in water like other PVA products.
Who it is for:
Spod anglers making large, heavy parcels.
Session carp anglers who bait heavily.
Match anglers preparing big bait loads.
Anyone using dense pellet or crumb mixes.
Anglers fishing long range where bag integrity matters.
Design and features:
5m roll of woven PVA tape.
Wider profile than standard PVA tape for better seam coverage.
Woven fibres give higher tensile strength and flexibility.
Biodegradable and water-soluble by design.
Supplied on a neat roll that fits a tackle box.
How it works:
Cut a length to match the seam or joint you need to seal.
Wet the tape lightly and press it between PVA film edges or across a seam.
Hold briefly until the bond forms.
For very large loads use two strips or cross strips for extra security.
The woven tape spreads the load and reduces point stresses that cause splits.
Practical uses:
Sealing large spod bags full of pellets, crumb and liquids.
Strengthening seams on PVA mesh parcels.
Reinforcing joins on multi-layer parcels for heavy loads.
Making stronger, more reliable parcels for long-range baiting.
Use with Solidz film or other PVA systems when bigger seals are needed.
Bank-side tips:
Keep the roll dry until just before use to maintain bond speed.
Practice a test bag to learn how much moisture and pressure is best.
For very dense mixes compress the bag well before applying tape.
Use cross strips if seams are wide or mix causes uneven edges.
Store a small tube or bag to keep the roll dry in wet weather.
Advantages over narrow tape:
Wider contact area for a stronger bond.
Less chance of seam splits under high load.
Better for bulky or uneven seams that narrow tape struggles with.
Quicker to apply over long seams because fewer passes are needed.
Care and storage:
Keep Spread-Em in a dry container away from damp and rain.
Do not expose the roll to moisture before use.
Store at room temperature and avoid strong heat or sunlight.
Replace if the roll becomes damp or brittle.
Environmental and safety notes:
Made from PVA materials that dissolve in water.
Dispose of packaging responsibly.
Keep dry in transport and storage to avoid accidental melting.
Handle with dry hands to maintain ease of use.
Why anglers trust Spread-Em:
It adds confidence to long-range baiting and heavy spod work.
It reduces wasted bait through mid-flight failures.
It helps form neat, repeatable parcels for efficient re-baiting.
Simple to use and integrates with existing PVA workflows.
Summary: Korda Spread-Em (5m) Woven PVA Tape is a specialist, wide PVA sealing tape for large bags and heavy mixes. It gives stronger, more reliable seals than narrow tape. Use it to protect big spod mixes and to make large, durable parcels that reach the bed intact. Keep a roll in your baiting kit for serious, repeatable bait delivery.
Solidz Slow Melt PVA Bags dissolve slowly for safe, delayed bait release and are ideal when you need a controlled bait cloud that lasts on longer swims.
Overview: The Korda Solidz Slow Melt PVA Bag System is made for anglers who want a dependable PVA bag that holds bait securely and dissolves more slowly than standard PVA. The slow-melt property is useful in cold water or when you wish the bag to hold together until it settles on the bed. These bags are strong and tough in flight. They prevent premature breakup in wet conditions at the bank or during long casts. Once submerged and settled, they release bait consistently for targeted baiting.
Why slow-melt is useful:
Gives you longer handling time before full dissolution.
Useful for long-distance shots where immediate melt is not wanted.
Good in colder water where normal PVA dissolves slowly anyway.
Helps keep dense spod mixes intact long enough to drop to the bottom and then release bait.
Reduces chance of the bag softening in the air or during backcasts.
Design and features:
Strong, tear-resistant film designed for bag formation.
Pre-formed shapes to make loading quick and neat.
Slow-melt weave or film composition to resist premature water seepage.
Compatible with tight spod mixes, pellets and boilie crumb.
Packs include multiple bags sized for common bait volumes.
Benefits:
Reliable delivery of bait to the exact spot.
Less risk of PVA failure during long flights or windy conditions.
Works well with denser mixes, like pellet and crumb blends.
Easy to use even when you prepare bags in advance and store them briefly.
How to use:
Load your bait mix or spod mix into the bag.
Compress the contents and seal the bag as instructed.
Tie or seal the bag and attach to the rig or spod as needed.
Cast to your prepared spot and let the bag settle before the melt begins.
Monitor and adjust the mix for desired release timing.
Suitable mixes:
Pellet and crumb spod mixes.
Boilie crumb mixed with liquids and oils.
Pellet soaked mixes and groundbait blends.
Sweet or spice boosted mixes where slow release helps attract over time.
Practical tips:
Keep the bags dry before use and do not handle too long with wet hands.
Use a tight pack to keep the bag compact and less likely to open in flight.
For very long range, test a sample bag to check melt timing in your water temperature.
Label bag sizes for quick selection at the bank.
Care and storage:
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
Keep bags in their original pack to avoid accidental exposure.
Do not leave loaded bags in sunlight or heat before casting.
Replace any bags that show signs of moisture ingress.
Who should use them:
Spod and PVA anglers who plan long-range baiting.
Those fishing cold water where standard PVA acts unpredictably.
Anglers who prefer a controlled, delayed bait release.
Session carp fishermen aiming for accurate, timed bait delivery.
Why anglers choose Slow Melt Solidz:
It gives confidence on long casts and in awkward conditions.
It reduces wasted mixes and failed deliveries.
It helps place baits precisely with better timing for attraction.
Works well alongside standard PVA systems for different tactics.
Summary: Korda Solidz PVA Bag System Slow Melt is a specialist bag for controlled bait delivery. It resists premature breakdown and gives a delayed, reliable bait cloud. Use it when you need a bag that holds together in flight and opens on the bed.
