Korda Chod Fishing Essentials

If you’re an angler who likes to tackle monster carp, upwards of twenty pounds, over soft mud, weed, or other debris then you’re going to want to use a chod rig. This is an old school method of carp fishing with its roots in the classic stiff hinged rig, however for many years using a chod rig was seen as unfashionable. However, its benefits far away its risks and over the past few years, with the likes of Terry Hearn and Jim Shelley using the technique to massive success, chod fishing has come back into style – big time! This is why the team of Korda have put their expert heads together to design a collection of chod tackle to satisfy even the most demanding of anglers.

Chod rigs are unparalleled when it comes to bait presentation, particularly when you’re angling in difficult and weedy water. What’s more, they are unlikely to tangle and they re-set themselves if they are disturbed by movement. Another huge benefit of the chod rig is the likelihood of the carp being hooked if they take the bait – the chod rig reduces the risk of the fish dislodging the hook and causing itself damage due to a poor hookhold.

Whether you’re looking to deign your own chod rig setup from scratch or you just want to head to the water with a rig that’s ready to go Korda has ample options for you. From specialised chod hooks that ensure perfect pop-up presentation with each cast to crimping pliers that have been specially designed with chod rig construction in mind, Korda has thought of it all. As with all Korda products, these chod rig components are all manufactured to the high standards that you’ll have come to expect from the brand. The ready made rigs boast equally high construction and Korda challenges you to make them better yourself – Danny Fairbrass certainly can’t!

Korda has been producing outstanding carp fishing tackle solutions since 1993 and the brand manufactures everything with practicality in mind. One of the leading innovators in the carp industry, Korda is spearheaded by a premier team that includes the likes of founder Danny Fairbrass, as well as popular names such as Ali Hamidi, Tom Dove, Darrel Peck, and Elliott Gray.

This really is a brand that manufactures products by anglers and for anglers, which is why the range of tackle in this chod rig collection is so prolific and of such high quality.
