Product Information

Full details

The Korda Dark Matter Balancing Weights are essential tools for carp anglers looking to achieve a perfect, clean rig presentation when using buoyant hook baits. These pure tungsten weights are designed for anglers who prioritize precision and efficiency, replacing traditional putty on popular rigs like the Chod, Hinge-Stiff, and Spinner. While they offer superior durability and are crayfish-resistant, users should note they are specifically engineered for compatibility with Korda size 11 swivels.

FAQs

Can I use these on swivels other than Korda size 11?

These weights are specifically engineered for Korda size 11 swivels; fit and performance on other brands cannot be guaranteed.

Are these weights better than traditional putty?

They offer a much more durable, crayfish-resistant, and cleaner alternative to putty, though they are less moldable for fine-tuning.

Are they reusable?

Yes, they are designed to be removed and reused across different rigs.

What should I do if the weight feels too tight?

Use a Krimp Tool to help slide the weight onto the swivel barrel safely.

Do I need a specific tool to apply them?

While most can be pushed on by hand, a Krimp Tool is recommended if you find the fit to be excessively tight.

Troubleshooting

Weight does not fit onto the swivel barrel.

Ensure you are using a genuine Korda size 11 swivel. If the fit is tight, use a Krimp Tool to carefully assist with the installation.

The weight slides off the swivel during the cast.

Check that the weight is seated securely over the barrel. If the fit has loosened over time, you may need to replace the weight with a new one.

Pros and Cons

Pros

More durable and secure than traditional rig putty
Resistant to interference from crayfish
Compact size offers a very neat rig presentation
Quick and easy to swap out for different hook baits
Laser-etched markings for easy weight identification

Cons

Requires specific Korda size 11 swivels for proper fit
Might require a Krimp Tool for installation if the fit is too tight
Less adjustable than moldable putty if fine-tuning is required on the water

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: ensure you are using a genuine Korda size 11 swivel. The weight is designed to slide over the barrel of the swivel with a snug fit. If the connection feels too tight, gently use a Krimp Tool to seat the weight properly without damaging the swivel components. Because these weights are made from dense tungsten, they are highly durable; however, it is good practice to rinse them in freshwater after use in salty or silt-heavy environments to maintain the integrity of the finish. Store them in a dedicated rig box compartment to keep them organized and prevent loss.
