Product Information
Full details
The Korda New Stow Head in White is an essential tool for carp anglers who require precise visual strike detection regardless of fishing distance. This indicator system is designed for both margin and long-range fishing, offering high sensitivity with slack or tight lines; however, users should be aware that the system is engineered to drop away completely upon a take, which requires an adjustment period for those used to fixed bobbin systems.

FAQs
Does the White Stow Head include the chain and magnets?
Yes, each pack includes two different lengths of chain extensions that feature magnetic connectors.
Can I use this with any bankstick?
The system is designed to be used specifically with the Korda Stow-Stix.
Will this clip damage my braided mainline?
No, the internal spring mechanism is designed to hold the line firmly without crimping or damaging braids or monofilament.
Is the white body luminous?
The body is translucent and light-refractive to help with visibility, but it is not self-illuminating.
Can I fish effectively at extreme range?
Yes, the Stow Head is highly effective at distance, provided the line is pulled tight and the drop indicator is positioned correctly.
Troubleshooting
Indicator fails to drop away on a take
Check that the line is not double-wrapped in the clip and ensure the chain extension is free of tangles.
Line keeps popping out of the clip too easily
The spring-loaded clip may require adjustment or cleaning; ensure there is no grit inside the clip jaws.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Stow Head, connect the desired length of chain to your existing Stow-Stix assembly using the magnetic connector. Ensure the Stow-Stix are correctly aligned with your bite alarm base to provide a stable, consistent drop path. When using, gently push your main line into the clip until you hear or feel the internal spring catch. To maintain the unit, wipe the translucent body with a clean, damp cloth after each session to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh solvents on the plastic body, as this may cloud the refractive material. Store in a protective case when not in use to prevent the line clip from being crushed.
