Korda Boom Stiff Fluorocarbon Line

Designed so that it can be crimped, with the Korda Krimps in two sizes designed to fit perfectly, and to give as high a breaking strain as possible (using the wrong size of crimp will reduce the strength of the connection).

The easiest way to get this stiff material to lie dead straight is to steam it, and any minor kinks can also be corrected in this way, or in some cases just by running it between your fingers under pressure. Available in a choice of 15lb (6.8kg), 25lb (11.3kg) or 35lb (15.9kg) breaking strains, it is incredibly durable and abrasion resistant, making it suitable for use both in the UK and overseas – with a diameter of 0.45mm for the 15lb, 0.55mm for the 25lb version it is thicker than some of the other stiff link materials available, but intentionally so as this is partly what makes it so good for its intended use and helps ensure that the hook bait is kicked away from the lead.

Supplied on a 15m spool, which is designed to stop more of the material than you intended from coming off, this will become the stiff hook link material of choice, whether you are going for a hinged stiff rig or some form of combi-rig presentation featuring a very stiff section – it can be knotted to braid easily and with confidence through the use of an Albright knot.
