Korda Shrink Tube Clear 1.6mm is an essential component for anglers looking to enhance their rig performance and increase their chances of hooking carp effectively. This versatile shrink tube is specifically designed to improve the mechanics of your rig by helping the hook flip over more efficiently once inside the carp’s mouth, leading to better hook holds and fewer lost fish.
Enhance Hooking Potential:
The primary function of Korda Shrink Tube is to curve the hook link inward, which increases the likelihood of the hook turning and catching in the fish’s mouth when it picks up the bait. This is particularly effective in rigs such as the line aligner, where the shrink tube plays a crucial role in the rig's overall mechanics. By using this shrink tube, you can create a more aggressive hooking angle, which significantly boosts the effectiveness of your rigs.
Durable and Versatile:
This clear shrink tube is stiff enough to maintain its shape once shrunk, ensuring that your rig remains in the optimal position for hooking fish. Despite its rigidity, the shrink tube will straighten out under pressure once a fish is hooked, ensuring that no damage is caused to the fish’s mouth, unlike rigs that use a bent hook. This makes it a safe and effective choice for both the fish and the angler.
The Korda Shrink Tube is highly versatile and can be used with a wide range of hook sizes, making it suitable for various fishing situations. Whether you're targeting carp in clear waters or over complex lake beds, the clear finish of this shrink tube ensures it blends seamlessly with the environment, offering a stealthy presentation that won’t spook wary fish.
Easy to Use:
Using the Korda Shrink Tube is simple – just slide it over the hook link and apply heat, typically from steam or hot water, to shrink it down to the desired size. The shrink tube is designed to reduce in size by about two-thirds, forming a tight, neat fit around the hook shank or rig component. This process is quick and easy, ensuring that you spend more time fishing and less time preparing your gear.
Available in Various Sizes and Colours:
In addition to the 1.6mm clear version, Korda Shrink Tube is available in multiple sizes and colours to match your specific needs and the conditions you’re fishing in. Whether you’re fishing over weed, clay, silt, or gravel, there’s a shrink tube to suit. Sizes range from 1.0mm to 1.6mm, with some colours also available in an XL size, ensuring compatibility with any rig setup.
