Product Information
Full details
The Korda Kwik Link XS is designed for carp anglers who need a reliable, high-speed solution for changing terminal tackle components on the bank. It is the ideal tool for switching lead sizes or attaching marker floats without disassembling your entire rig setup, providing a significant time-saving benefit. While it offers unparalleled convenience, it is essential to pair it with a protective silicone sleeve to prevent accidental unthreading during powerful casts.

FAQs
Do I need a special tool to use the Korda Kwik Link?
No, the Kwik Link is designed for manual use. While the XS size is small, you can manipulate it easily with your fingers or a pair of baiting needles if necessary.
Can I use the Kwik Link for heavy leads?
The Kwik Link is robust, but for extremely heavy leads in snaggy water, ensure the wire remains in its original shape and does not stretch.
Is the silicone sleeve included with the purchase?
The Kwik Links are typically sold as the link units themselves; you should purchase compatible Korda silicone sleeves separately to ensure a proper fit.
Will the link rust if I fish in saltwater?
While made from durable materials, it is best practice to rinse all terminal tackle in fresh water after saltwater use to maintain longevity.
Does this link affect the presentation of my rig?
The XS size is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, meaning it has a negligible effect on the movement and presentation of your rig compared to larger quick-change clips.
Troubleshooting
The link keeps unthreading during the cast.
Ensure a high-quality, snug-fitting silicone sleeve is pushed fully over the link to lock it in place.
Difficulty threading the link through swivel eyes.
The XS model is very compact; ensure you are using a standard-sized swivel eye and check for any debris inside the swivel barrel.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces time spent changing rig components.
- Prevents structural wear on swivels and lead clips.
- Versatile design works for both leads and marker floats.
- Very compact size minimizes visibility underwater.
Cons
- Requires a silicone sleeve for maximum security during a cast.
- Small size can be challenging to manipulate in cold or wet conditions.
- Not suitable for extremely heavy leads that may exceed the wire's tension threshold.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Kwik Link, thread your chosen component (such as a swivel or lead eye) through the loop of the link. Before casting, ensure a silicone sleeve is pulled down firmly over the connection point. This sleeve acts as a locking mechanism. The Kwik Link is fully compatible with most standard lead clips and running rig components available in the Korda range. For care, rinse the link in fresh water after use in brackish or saltwater environments to prevent mineral buildup and corrosion. Store the links in a dry tackle box compartment to keep them organized and free from kinks or deformation.
