Product Information

Full details

The Korda Zig Magnet is an essential tool for carp anglers who specialize in zig rig fishing and want to maintain pristine hook points while preventing rig tangles. Designed to secure your hook link to a bankstick or storm rod during setup, it is perfect for anglers looking to improve efficiency and rig security, though it does require the use of a dedicated bankstick setup close to the rod pod or landing area.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will it work with all banksticks?

Yes, it uses the standard industry 3/8 BSF thread which is compatible with almost all banksticks and storm poles.

Does the magnetic force damage the hook?

No, the magnetic force is calibrated specifically to hold the hook securely without applying enough pressure to cause structural damage.

Is the tilt mechanism adjustable?

Yes, it features an integrated tilt attachment allowing you to set the magnet at the optimal angle for your specific rig length.

Can I use this for bottom baits as well?

While designed primarily for zig rigs, it can be used for any setup where you want to secure the hook away from the ground while preparing your gear.

How do I clean the magnet if it gets muddy?

Simply use a damp cloth to wipe the magnetic face clean. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might degrade the finish.

Troubleshooting

The hook does not stick to the magnet

Verify that your hook is made of a ferrous metal; some specialized non-toxic or high-end alloys may have low magnetic response.

The unit swivels on the bankstick

Ensure the device is tightened firmly onto the bankstick thread. If it continues to rotate, check that the bankstick itself is pushed firmly into the ground.
