Product Information

Full details

The Korda DF Wide Gape Loop Rigs are designed for carp anglers who demand efficient, reliable, and fish-friendly terminal tackle. Perfect for creating advanced combi-rig setups, these ready-tied sections utilize a semi-stiff braided material to ensure optimal presentation and movement; however, they require existing knowledge of rig mechanics to pair effectively with your chosen boom section.

FAQs

Are these rigs suitable for weed fishing?

Yes, the combi-rig setup is excellent for fishing over light weed, as the semi-stiff section keeps the bait perfectly presented.

Can I reuse these rigs?

Yes, provided the braid is not frayed and the hook point remains sharp, you can reuse the section multiple times.

What is the benefit of the barbless hook?

Barbless hooks significantly reduce the risk of harm to the fish and are often required on many commercial fisheries.

How many rigs come in a pack?

Each pack contains 3 ready-tied rig sections.

Do I need any special tools to attach these?

No special tools are required, though a standard baiting needle is helpful for tightening the loop-to-loop connection.

Troubleshooting

The rig is tangling during the cast

Ensure your boom section is stiff enough to kick the rig away from the lead, or use a PVA nugget over the hook point.

The hook feels blunt after fishing

Always check the point after a retrieve; if blunt, replace the rig section immediately as braid-to-hook knots are difficult to re-tie on the bank.

Loop connection is difficult to pass through

Use a standard baiting needle to assist in pulling the loops through each other.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ready-to-use for immediate deployment
  • Promotes superior fish safety due to barbless hooks
  • Prevents tangles with semi-stiff braid construction
  • Versatile design for creating modern combi rigs

Cons

  • Requires a separate boom section to complete the rig
  • Limited to one specific hook size per pack
  • Semi-stiff material may not suit all bottom types or presentations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up these rigs, simply create a small loop at the end of your preferred boom material or stiff link. Slide the loop of the Korda DF Wide Gape rig through your boom's loop, then pass the hook end through the braid loop and pull tight to create a secure, tangle-free connection. Always check your rig after every landing to ensure the hook point remains sharp and the braid hasn't frayed against gravel or debris. Store the rigs in a rig box or on a rig board to keep the braid straight and prevent kinks. After fishing, rinse the hooks in fresh water and allow them to dry completely before storage to prevent corrosion.
