FAQs
Can I use this rig with pop-ups?
Yes, but you will need to add weight such as Dark Matter putty or a split shot to keep the bait in a balanced position.
Does the coating on the braid need to be removed?
The rig is pre-stripped at the critical points by Korda; you do not need to remove any extra coating.
Is this rig suitable for long-range casting?
Yes, the semi-stiff nature of the coated braid helps the rig kick away from the lead, making it stable during flight.
How often should I change my rig?
You should check the hook point and braid integrity after every fish caught; replace immediately if the point is blunted or the braid is frayed.
Is the KCR139 a barbed or barbless version?
The KCR139 is the Wide Gape DF version; please verify the specific packaging, as Korda offers both barbed and barbless variations in the DF range.
Troubleshooting
Rig tangling during the cast
Ensure you are using a PVA bag or a long-range anti-tangle sleeve to keep the hook link separated from the lead system.
Bait floating too high
Add more Dark Matter putty or a heavier split shot to the rig until the desired level of buoyancy is achieved.
Hook point feeling dull
Do not attempt to sharpen professional rigs; replace the rig immediately to ensure optimal penetration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, always check the rig for signs of fraying or damage after landing a fish or pulling through heavy weed. When attaching the rig to your mainline, use a quick-change swivel or a standard knot-link for fast adjustments.
- Storage: Keep the rigs in a rig box or on a rig board to prevent the hair and hook point from tangling or blunting.
- Baiting: Ensure your bait is secured correctly using a bait screw or a standard hair stop depending on your preference.
- Maintenance: Avoid storing the rig while wet for long periods to protect the integrity of the braid coating and the hook finish.
