Korda Carp Fishing - NEW IQ2 Fluorocarbon Line

Product Information

korda boom out in couple months. I love the 25lb but can see myself changing to the 15lb. Cannot beat crimping imo. It is a good point Gerry makes though, pulling as you are doing is not the same comparison as a fishing situation where you have the stretch of the mono and the cushion of the rod. True a breaking strain should be exactly that but I have been using Boom for as long as it has been out and never had a link snap... Loans available to permanent UK residents aged 18 and over. Subject to status. Eligibility and conditions apply.

I gonne give Gemini a try not that 19lb breakpoint on Korda boom is bad but my own hand made rigs/loops are stronger that what Korda sells... I stand corrected,why does it say not to use crimps with fluorocarbon if boom is a fluoro.I have been using boom and crimps and had no issues at all thoughkrimps with 25lb Boom fluocarbon, they all snapped when I put pressure on them with the knot puller, are they really that crappy or do I have a bad batch?

Step 1: Cut required length of IQ2 fluorocarbon then attach the spinner swivel using a small figure of eight loop. I also like amnesia in 20lb clear and have used it for years for hook lengths and combi rigs again straightens very easily just by pulling, its funny you mention the think link i thought that was awful very hard to straighten without steam and would partly lose its shape after a while in the water, unless i had a bad spool You’re pulling far harder than any fishing scenario is going to provide, I wouldn’t worry about it, I tend to jerk pull test them if it’s going to fail then that’s how you’ll knowA very effective carp catching rig, the Ronnie Rig has taken the carp fishing world by storm in the last couple of years. This rig has become one of the best rigs for catching carp. The Ronnie rig is essentially a low lying pop up rig, the bait sits up just off the lake bed maintaining its aggressive hooking position at all times. Before we show you the steps to tying a ronnie fishing rig, there are a few items you may need to add to your shopping basket to make this amazing rig. What Do I Need To Tie A Ronnie Rig? I've used Think link in 25lb and not had any problems with it. Not sure it's much better than Amnesia though. IQ2 Flourocarbon is a softer version of Korda’s legendary IQ. This softness makes it a versitile hook link material, which gives free movement to even quite light hookbaits. Just like the normal IQ, IQ2 is nigh-on invisible in water. the way the light passes through the material is quite close to the way that it moves through water, rendering you hook links very difficult for carp to detect

You are never going to put 16 - 19lb of pressure on a fish hook hold in water with rod bent and mainline stretch. I stopped using IQ2 a few years ago when I started to worry about knot strength. Was ok to start with and then the next three spools bought at different times all caused me concern.
