Korda Carp Fishing - NEW IQ2 Fluorocarbon Line

Product Information

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. 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... Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit. Step 1: Cut required length of IQ2 fluorocarbon then attach the spinner swivel using a small figure of eight loop.

Also, what knots would people advise to use on this material? I have been using a palomar on the IQ2 with no issues You are now ready to fish! If you want a closer look at how to tie the ronnie rig, watch the video below. 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 not used the Boom material but have been krimping to Hybrid Stiff for the last few years and have never had a single hooklink snap. Why not test both materials and compare the two? I'd be interested to hear your results. 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. I'm presuming one end is attached to his scales and the other to the puller and he sees how far the scales go before it snaps.... 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.

I still think amnesia is the best stuff going for anything stiff. I use 20lb for D rigs and 25lb for hinge booms. 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? 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 tie a perfect loop knot on either end, a knot I found challenging to tie when first attempted, but worth the effort.I’ve been crimping Korda iq2 in 20lb with no issues. If you can’t pull it apart with 2 pulla tools it will never go when playing a fish. Step 5: Tie on your favourite pop up then mould enough putty around the knot of the loop to balance it perfectly. 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
