Brand: Korda
Product: Stow Indicator Bobbin
Colour options: All colours available
Intended use: Indicator bobbin designed for bite indication on rigs
Compatibility: Works with common indicator setups
When you’re on the bank, a reliable bite signal is worth its weight in maggots. The Stow Indicator Bobbin sits on the line and responds to line movement, giving you a clear signal of a take without needing to watch the rod tip constantly. This can help you react quicker, reducing the chances of missed bites and unnecessary recasts. The range of colours offers flexibility: lighter colours can stand out in bright conditions, while toned or camouflaged hues can blend with line and water when stealth is key. With all colours available, you can build a cohesive look across your rig, helping you read the water better and stay focused on the fishing rather than fiddling with gear. Booking into a session, you might swap colours to suit different swims or water clarity, and this bobbin makes that swap straightforward. The design is straightforward: you clip it to the line or integrate it with your chosen indicator setup, so you can get back to fishing with minimal fuss. The ability to select from all colours means you’re not limited by a single shade; you can adapt as light shifts or as your rig colour scheme evolves. For anglers who value efficiency on the bank, having a few colour options on the shelf means quick changes mid-session, keeping your session flowing and your focus on the bite. Korda’s Stow Indicator Bobbin is a practical addition to any carp rig toolkit, built to accompany experienced rigs and newcomers alike.

Brand: Korda
Product: Kurv Shank
Size availability: All sizes available
Range: Full range
Having access to all sizes in the full range means you can pick the exact shank length to suit the rig you’re building and the target presentation you want to achieve. With the Kurv Shank, the curved profile is designed to sit neatly in the back of your line, helping maintain a tidy, compact setup that’s easy to adjust between casts. Using the same branded component across different rigs gives consistency, so you’re not scrambling for matching parts when conditions change or when you switch spots. The fact that all sizes are offered in one line simplifies stocking your tackle box: you know you’ll find the length you need without hunting around the shop or the workshop. On the bank, this translates into smoother rig construction, quicker tweaks, and more time actually fishing. The Korda name on a reliable Kurv Shank component offers reassurance that it’s compatible with other Korda rig components, streamlining the process of swapping or upgrading parts as your rig evolves. In practice, you can set up a range of presentations—short, medium, and long shank setups—using the same family of products, which helps with consistency, tallying your rig-building approach, and getting the bite sooner. If you value preparation and simplicity on the water, the all-sizes, full-range package of the Korda Kurv Shank is a straightforward choice that supports a calm, efficient session from first bite to last.
Korda Flying Back Leads are a back lead system built for anglers who want tidy rigs and reliable lead management. Simple, practical gear that helps you keep your line where you want it—on the drift, not snagged on the bank. Tight lines, mate.
Brand: Korda
Product Type: Flying Back Leads
Purpose: Back lead setup to position the lead on the line and control presentation
Ease of Use: Quick to attach to standard rigs for fast setup on the bank
Durability: Designed to withstand typical fishing conditions
Versatility: Suitable for different rigs and fishing scenarios
In use, the Flying Back Leads aim to give you predictable lead placement, helping to keep the lead in the right spot behind the rig and improving line control in wind, current, or moving water. The setup supports steady presentations and reduces the chance of line tangles, which means fewer fiddly adjustments and more time fishing. Whether you're quivering under a tight breeze or rain comes in, you can rely on a consistent setup that focuses on the job at hand: presenting your bait cleanly and getting those bites. The back lead concept can be particularly useful when you're fishing near snags or weed, as it can keep the lead away from the main rig while still maintaining the desired bite effect. For match anglers, predictable lead behaviour translates to more repeatable rigs and consistent performance across sessions. For those new to back leads, this product offers a straightforward way to experiment with lead positioning without overhauling your entire rig. The emphasis is on simplicity and reliability, helping you spend less time adjusting and more time fishing. By keeping the rig lined up and the lead accounted for, you reduce the risk of line twist and unwanted movement, which can spook fish or mislead bite detection. The end result is a more confident presentation, especially when conditions are changing throughout the day. You’ll appreciate the compact profile that tucks away neatly in a tackle box and remains easy to handle when you’re swapping rigs between venues or fishery rules. This kind of gear consistency is what helps anglers lock in on a pattern, even when the water is a bit murkier or the breeze picks up.
Korda Rig Tube 0.75mm is a slim, durable sleeve that protects knots, stops tangles and gives terminal rigs a neat, low-profile finish. Built for anglers who prep multiple rigs and value tidy presentation, it slides over knot points, hooks and link joins to keep things smooth on the bank.
Diameter and length: 0.75mm internal diameter with a 2m run, providing plenty of material to prep multiple rigs and replace worn sections.
Material and flexibility: Flexible yet resilient tubing designed to resist kinking and maintain a smooth sleeve over knot areas, hooks and joins.
Colour: Neutral finish that blends into most bed presentations, helping rigs sit natural on the lake or river bed.
Protection and performance: Covers knot points, hooks and link joins to guard against abrasion, reduce snagging, keep the rig lying straight and improve overall hookup reliability.
Versatility and applications: Suitable for spinner rigs, chod setups, anti-tangle systems, hinge rigs, heli and inline setups, and general leader protection when paired with putty.
Ease of use: Cuts cleanly with scissors and slides over the hooklink or loop to create a smooth collar; flexible enough to fit most hooklink sizes.
Practical tips: Cut lengths short for small baits and longer for bigger baits to match proportions; a small drop of glue can fix tubing for permanent rigs; heat briefly over a lighter to slightly shrink for a snug fit if needed (test compatibility and avoid melting); keep spare tubing in a small tube to prevent kinks and dust.
Care and storage: Rinse if exposed to sticky mixes and dry thoroughly; store flat or rolled to prevent creasing; inspect for splits or hardening after long sun exposure and replace if needed.
In use, slide the Rig Tube over the hooklink or loop to form a smooth collar, helping your rig lie neat and reduce wear on knot points. It’s particularly useful on hinge rigs or chod setups to prevent abrasion and keep the hooklink away from the mainline on the drop, which aids bite indication and exposure. The neutral finish helps it disappear when resting on beds, while the 0.75mm diameter is slim enough to present low bulk baits without masking their natural profile. The 2m length gives you plenty of material to prep several rigs at once, and to have spare sections ready for replacements as wear shows up. Pair with tail rubbers to maintain a neat lie and improve hook alignment during a long, patient session.
Korda Helicopter Sleeve is a compact storage solution for anglers using helicopter rigs. It keeps rig components tidy, portable, and ready for action on the bank.
Compact design: Slim profile that fits neatly in most tackle bags and boat pockets, giving you quick access to your helicopter rig components without bulk.
Protective sleeve: Robust exterior helps shield delicate components from scuffs, snagging on line, and rough handling between sessions.
Easy access: Simple to open and close so you can grab what you need fast when the bite is on and you’re in the moment.
Durable construction: Built to withstand regular use on the bank, in the car, or on a boat, with stitching and materials chosen for longevity.
Compatibility: Designed to accommodate common helicopter rig components, making swaps and re rigs straightforward for changing tactics.
The sleeve helps you stay organised and efficient at the water. By keeping your helicopter components in one dedicated place, you reduce time wasted searching for swivels, beads, and tail rubbers. You’ll spend more of your session casting, reeling, and watching the water rather than fiddling with loose kit. The protective exterior and thoughtful design mean your gear stays in good condition longer, which translates to fewer trips back to base for replacements or repairs. It’s a simple piece of kit, but it removes a lot of friction from a day’s fishing, letting you focus on the job: getting tight lines. Whether you’re heading to a new swim or sticking with a favourite bank, the Korda Helicopter Sleeve travels well and slots into your kit with minimal fuss. It’s a practical choice for the organised angler who values reliability and straightforward gear that does the job without drama. For sessions that demand focus and efficiency, this sleeve provides a tidy home for rig components, enabling quicker set-ups and more time on the water.
The Korda Hybrid Running Rig is a straightforward rig for anglers who want dependable gear with clean bait presentation. Built by Korda, it’s designed for running-rig setups and keeps things simple on the bank.
Brand: Korda
Rig Type: Hybrid Running Rig
Concept: Running rig design for straightforward bait presentation
On the water, the aim is clear: present your bait simply, without fuss, and stay in the game long enough to see the bite. The Hybrid Running Rig from Korda is tailored for that approach. It sits in the middle ground between form and function, offering a dependable setup that doesn’t complicate your rig bag. With a design that respects the need for smooth lead movement and clean line flow, it helps you keep casting and fishing time focused on the water, not on tying knots or untangling gear. For those who value a practical, no-nonsense approach, this rig fits the bill.
Kaizen Platinum 12ft 3.5lb Test Curve Rod – The Ultimate All-Rounder
If you’re after a rod that can do it all, the Kaizen Platinum 12ft 3.5lb test curve rod is the one for you. Designed for versatility, this rod can handle everything from delicate flicks on small, intimate venues to blasting a rig over 35 wraps on a big, open water like Gigantica. Whether you’re stalking fish in the margins or sending a lead way out into the horizon, this high-end, lightweight, and perfectly balanced blank is built to deliver.
Danny Fairbrass on the Kaizen Platinum 12ft 3.5lb:
“I’ve been using a heavier version during field testing, but it’s nice to go back to the 12ft 3.5lb rods as they are the all-rounders. If you want to fish anywhere from one yard to 140 yards, with pinpoint accuracy, then these are the ones.”
The Kaizen Journey – Designed for Performance
The Kaizen rod range has been in development for over four years, and it all started with a simple idea: to create high-end rods that outperform anything currently on the market. Despite being Korda’s first foray into rod manufacturing, we pulled together the best minds in the business, including our Team Korda anglers and product development specialists, to create something truly exceptional.
Danny Fairbrass has been involved in rod design for years, working on some of the most well-regarded models on the market. It was a natural progression for Korda to create its own premium range, tailored to the exact specifications that he and our anglers demand. The goal was simple: a collection of top-tier rods that excel in every carp fishing scenario, whether you’re casting to the horizon or playing a fish at close quarters.
What Makes the Kaizen Platinum Special?
Tapered to Perfection
All Kaizen rods are built on a fast-tapered profile mandrel, meaning the blank has a continuous taper from butt to tip. This gives them a ‘tippy’ action, with most of the flex concentrated at the tip end. When you’re putting in a powerful cast, the rod will bend all the way through, but the real benefit is in power transfer—faster tip speeds and longer casts with minimal effort.
This taper also means quicker line pick-up, essential for setting the hook at range. And when you’re playing a big fish close in, the progressive power transfer helps cushion those last-minute lunges, reducing the risk of hook pulls. You get the best of both worlds—power when you need it and finesse when it matters most.
Superior Japanese Carbon – Lightweight and Powerful
The backbone of the Kaizen Platinum rods is a super tensile, high-grade Japanese carbon known as ZERO90. This carbon is used in just two layers with minimal resin, resulting in an incredibly lightweight yet ultra-responsive blank. This means:
Effortless casting – More power goes into your cast without unnecessary strain.
Pinpoint accuracy – Less blank twist means straighter, more controlled casts.
Instant tip recovery – The rod stops bouncing almost immediately after casting, ensuring your rig lands precisely where you aimed.
Over long distances, even small improvements in accuracy make a huge difference. These rods give you that extra edge.
Built to Last
Durability is key, and the Kaizen Platinum rods don’t disappoint. The blank is coated with a clear matt finish that not only looks stunning but also withstands years of exposure to sunlight and moisture. Each rod has been rigorously tank-tested to ensure longevity.
Premium Components for a Custom Feel
No compromises were made when it came to fittings. Every Kaizen Platinum rod is equipped with:
Sea-Guide TDG lightweight rings – A 50mm butt ring and a 16mm tip ring, designed to reduce friction and allow leader knots to pass through smoothly.
Fuji DPS reel seat – Securely holds your reel in place, offering comfort and stability.
Japanese shrink grip handle – Provides a solid grip, even in wet conditions.
JAG-etched aluminium butt cap and trim – A touch of class to complete the look.
Choosing the Right Kaizen Model
The Kaizen range offers a variety of models to suit every angling situation:
12ft 3lb, 3.5lb, and 4lb fishing rods – Covering everything from close-range work to long-range casting.
12ft spod rod – Designed for accuracy and distance when baiting up.
12ft 6in 4lb – The perfect alternative to a 13ft rod if you want extreme range without the extra length.
13ft 3.5lb and 4lb – The go-to rods for those looking to hit serious distances.
For long-range anglers, the 4lb models are a game-changer. With the right technique, these rods can put a lead beyond 200 yards, as demonstrated by casting experts Terry Edmonds and Darrell Peck. They even feature in our upcoming Long Range Masterclass filmed at Iles3 in France.
Danny Fairbrass on the Kaizen Platinum Rods:
“They are an absolute joy to use. So lightweight, yet powerful, with really light rings that let them move through the air effortlessly. They cast perfectly straight and look absolutely gorgeous as well.”
The Verdict
No matter your style or ability, there’s a Kaizen rod that will help you fish more accurately and at greater distances than ever before. Combining cutting-edge materials with expert design, these rods represent the pinnacle of carp fishing performance.
If you’re serious about your fishing and want a rod that can handle anything, the Kaizen Platinum is the ultimate choice. Whether you’re looking for an all-rounder or a specialist long-range tool, this range has you covered.

Korda LongChuck Tapered Mainline (300m) is a specialist line for controlled long-range casting and smooth shooting. Built for anglers running distance rigs and spod reels, it delivers repeatable distance and clean line lay when it matters most.
Tapered profile: The line tapers from thick to thin along the spool, giving you steadier take-off and less recoil on heavy casts. This helps you punch further with consistent line release, reducing the chance of undesirable loft or flutter.
Smooth coating: A slick coating lowers friction between line and guides, aiding distance shooting and improving overall shoot-out performance. The coating also helps minimise line memory, so your next cast sits close to where you left it.
300m spool: A generous 300m length suits distance reels and spod setups, letting you keep spares on hand without swapping spools mid-session. It reduces bulk on the spool and makes it easier to reel in and out without snagging.
Abrasion-resistant core: The core is designed to withstand long, powerful casts and contact with rough spool surfaces. It stands up to the scuffs and knocks you get in day-to-day distance work without compromising performance.
Predictable flight: The tapered design helps maintain a predictable flight path when delivering heavy leads or bait rigs. You’ll notice consistent looping and stable arc, which translates to more reliable marker work and distance accuracy.
Low memory: The combination of coating and construction minimises memory, so the line lays straighter on the retrieve and stays aligned during long sessions. Less memory means fewer line twists and easier casting sessions.
Spod and distance setups ready: Specifically suited to spod reels and distance-oriented setups, aiding long-range bait delivery and marker runs. It helps your line shoot cleanly from the spool, even when you’re pushing out tight gaps and long targets.
Spooling orientation guidance: To maintain the taper, spool onto your reel with care and follow the product instructions. Proper orientation helps retain the tapered profile for repeatable performance across casts.
Care and maintenance guidance: Rinse after use and dry before storage to protect the coating. Avoid prolonged UV exposure and inspect the taper for weak spots before heavy casts. Replace the line if the coating shows wear or if you notice nicks that could impact performance.
The LongChuck tapered profile delivers cleaner, more predictable shooting on heavy casts, reducing the chance of line recoil and tangles. Its slick coating supports distance work and helps extend the line’s life by lowering wear. With a 300m length, it’s well suited to distance reels, spod rigs, and marker runs, offering consistent performance across sessions. The durable core adds confidence for long-range casts, while the low memory keeps handling simple during repeat casts. In practice, you’ll experience smoother, more repeatable distance casting with less fiddling at the water’s edge.

Keep your Korda Katapult setup tidy and ready for action with this spare pouch. Designed for anglers who rely on their Katapult on the bank, it gives you a straightforward place for spares and small accessories.
Compatibility: Designed to be used with the Korda Katapult as a spare pouch.
This spare pouch gives you a dedicated space for Katapult spares, so you can keep components and small accessories within arm's reach. On a long session, you won't be left rummaging through the main bag or chasing tiny items that roll around in corners. It keeps items separated and easy to locate, reducing interruptions when you're making a quick rig change or swapping to a different lead setup. When the bite is on or the light fades, the time you save rummaging can mean more time casting and waiting for the next take. A tidy kit also helps reduce the chance of leaving gear behind on the bank, a real pain if you're moving between swims or doing a run-and-gun session. The spare pouch slots neatly into your Katapult setup or your tackle bag, so it feels natural to grab it with your spare components ready to go. It supports a streamlined workflow: you know where to reach for spares, you can check stock quickly, and you can replenish from a single place when you get back to camp. For anglers who run multi-rig sessions or fish several swims, this pouch acts as a central hub for small pieces, resisting tangles and keeping everything in its own pocket. While simple in design, the pouch makes a noticeable difference to daily life on the bank, letting you spend more time fishing and less time fidgeting with gear. It’s also a sensible backup to have for last-minute rig tweaks, distance casts, or when you're adjusting to changing weather, ensuring you stay focused on the water and not the clutter. In short, the Korda Katapult Spare Pouch is a practical companion that complements your Katapult without getting in the way, delivering organisation where it counts and turning a fiddly moment into a smooth swap so you can keep chasing those bites.
Korda Rig Rings – all sizes available – are the tiny building blocks you need to tune every rig. If you’re building your own presentations on the bank, these rings give you straightforward control over where the hook sits and how your line runs.
Size range: Available in a wide selection of sizes to suit different rigs and line gauges. Small rings are ideal for fine hair rigs or light leaders, while larger rings cater for heavier setups. By picking the right size, you can position hooks precisely and keep your presentation neat on the water.
Precision design: Each ring is crafted with consistent geometry and smooth inner surfaces to minimise snagging and line resistance. The uniformity helps your knotless or knot-based connections seat neatly and reliably, reducing the chance of line rub or uneven seating when the pressure rises as you lift into a take.
Ease of use: Quick to thread and easy to reposition during sessions. Whether you’re swapping hooks, adjusting link lengths, or trying a different rig concept, you can make changes on the bank without fuss. The rings stay in place once set, letting you focus on reading the water.
Versatility: Suitable for a range of rig concepts, from basic knot-to-ring links to more advanced inline and QR setups. The modular nature of rig rings means you can experiment with staggered hook positions, after-break attachments, or alternative lead arrangements without starting over.
Compact design: Small, unobtrusive footprint that won’t interfere with bait presentation or floatation. The rings are designed to sit cleanly on the line, so you preserve stealth and streamline in tight swims.
Compatibility & reliability: Made to align with Korda’s rig-building ethos, ensuring you can mix rings with other components from the range. By using standard sizing and trusted design principles, you get consistency across rigs, which helps when you’re running multiple rods.
Maintenance & care: Inspect rings for signs of wear, especially after long sessions or snaggy swims. If the inner surface shows nicks or deformation, swap them out to keep rigs crisp and dependable.
Benefits from using Korda Rig Rings are clear on the bank. They empower you to adjust rig dynamics quickly, so you can respond to changing fish behaviour, water clarity, or swim conditions without starting from scratch. With rings in multiple sizes, you can fine-tune hook alignment and lead distances to optimise your presentation for the day’s bait and fish mood. The smooth inner surface reduces line wear, helping your gear last longer between sessions—a small but meaningful saver when you’re stacking rigs for a weekend session. Having a selection of rings handy also means you can swap to an alternate rig mid-session if the fish switch off or the wind shifts, keeping you in the water rather than stuck at the peg. In short, these rings provide flexibility, reliability, and efficiency, all wrapped in a compact, easy-to-use package that fits neatly into any tackle setup.
