Product Information
Full details
The Korda Dark Matter Ready Rig is a professional-grade carp fishing solution designed for anglers who prioritize efficiency and concealment on the lake bed. It is specifically engineered to Neil Spooner’s exacting standards, featuring a Wide Gape hook and sinking braid to ensure rapid, inconspicuous bait presentation. While this rig offers exceptional reliability for various bottom bait setups, it is a pre-tied solution, meaning users should inspect the knots and integrity of the braid before every session to ensure peak performance.

FAQs
What breaking strain is the braid on this rig?
This specific version is tied with 15lb breaking strain Dark Matter braid.
Can I use this with wafter hookbaits?
Yes, the rig is highly effective with wafters, and you can use the Extenda stops to balance the presentation.
Does this rig come with a lead attached?
No, this is a ready-tied hooklink that must be attached to your existing lead setup.
What is the hook size?
This particular model features a size 8 Wide Gape hook.
How do I ensure the rig doesn't tangle on the cast?
Use an anti-tangle sleeve over the swivel and ensure your lead setup is configured for tangle-free casting.
Troubleshooting
Rig is not laying flat on the bottom
Ensure the leader is also a sinking or leadcore variety to prevent buoyancy in the main line near the rig.
Hair length is incorrect for the bait being used
Use the provided Extenda Hair Stops to extend or shorten the hair length to suit your specific bait size.
Hook seems dull after a session
Always sharpen or replace the rig if the hook point has been compromised by gravel or debris.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Expertly tied to precise professional specifications
- Heavy sinking material keeps the rig flat against the lake floor
- Versatile design suitable for both bottom baits and wafters
- Highly compatible with standard carp lead systems
- Easy adjustment of hair length using included Extenda stops
Cons
- Pre-tied length may not suit every specific fishing situation
- Requires regular inspection to check for abrasion after heavy use
- Limited to the specific hook size and breaking strain provided
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rig, simply attach the size 8 swivel to your chosen lead system using a QC swivel or a Kwik Link. Ensure that your lead arrangement is clear of tangles before casting. When caring for the rig, always check the integrity of the 15lb braid after each catch, as the material can occasionally sustain abrasions from underwater debris or rocks. If the shrink tube becomes bent or loses its curvature, it can often be adjusted by gently holding it over steam to regain its original shape. Store the rig in a flat rig wallet to prevent the hook from snagging and to keep the braid straight for the next outing.
