Korda Carp Fishing - NEW IQ2 Fluorocarbon Line

Product Information

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...

I still think amnesia is the best stuff going for anything stiff. I use 20lb for D rigs and 25lb for hinge booms. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit. Have fished last year with only Korda booms and loops no problem at all, not a single snapped, so very satisfied with Korda's booms/loops. A 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? Curve shank hooks are one of the most used styles of hook in the carp fishing world. The curved design allows for aggressive hook positioning which in turn provides a great hook hold time and time again.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 though You can’t be doing it right I don’t think mate. Where are they snapping? Did you crimp loops into them? I tie a perfect loop knot on either end, a knot I found challenging to tie when first attempted, but worth the effort. krimps 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? The IQ D-rig is a fabulous rig to use for wary carp, thanks to its inherent stiffness and the superb anti-eject properties that the hookbait mount sliding on the large D arrangement gives. The IQ D-rig is perfect for use with a boilie approach and is best used with one a wafter hook bait, which just sit above the hook when on the lake bed. Materials

Step 3: Slide a small piece of shrink tube onto the shank of the hook, attach the hook to the spinner swivel, slide the shrink tube over the swivel and carefully heat with the lighter.

Step 5: Tie on your favourite pop up then mould enough putty around the knot of the loop to balance it perfectly. You are never going to put 16 - 19lb of pressure on a fish hook hold in water with rod bent and mainline stretch. I lost a good fish last summer when the boom material snapped at the crimp, got loads of good advice on here but had no confidence in them after that,

I reverted to a figure of 8 knot which seems very strong and with a bit of practice you can easily make the loops as small as you need.It’s easy to work with and takes a knot well. Palomar will work perfectly. I’ve also got away with crimping the 25lb, but I wouldn’t want to say it’s better than a knot. I've used Think link in 25lb and not had any problems with it. Not sure it's much better than Amnesia though. It straightens out with a pull, is very good on abrasion (was made as a sea fishing leader) and a spool lasts about 5 years! korda boom out in couple months. I love the 25lb but can see myself changing to the 15lb. Cannot beat crimping imo.

I've never had the crimps go on the boom, and when testing you really do need to pull it unrealistically hard to make anything happen. Just be precise when crimping, making sure the barrel is in the pliers correctly and squeezing down as hard as you can. I use small crimps in the large plier hole.Booms and crimps I Love em! and 15lb version out in spring. You are now ready to fish! If you want a closer look at how to tie the ronnie rig, watch the video below. I’ve been using 20lb Korda IQ2 over the last 18 months or so on both my ronnie rigs and also as a ‘boom’ section for my Stiff Hinge Rigs. I genuinely really rate the material. I like the fact its fairly supple, how well it straightens under tension and the fact it stays straight too. 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. 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...

Just did another test, it broke at 19Lb, on one side the krimp broke off, the fluorocarbon is still completely but curled I've been crimping tuff for donkeys years, but then I do a lot of pike fishing. The most common reason for a connection failure is user error. Do it right and it is a very reliable way of forming a connection with various materials. That starts with using the right crimps and crimping tool. With boom or similar, you need to do a couple of things to get the best out of it, - pre stretch it when first crimped, this does two things takes out all pre stretch that a fish may cause, then blob the tag ends. You won't get stronger than this. This will make it sit better, make it stronger and make sure that it won't slip. The XT snag leader is a lovely soft but stiff enough material and is a nice green colour that will go well on the waters I fish (weedy)
