Product Information
Full details
The Korda Touchdown Mainline is designed for serious carp anglers who require a high-performance monofilament that balances sensitivity with durability. Its standout feature is its ability to transmit tactile feedback when the lead hits the lake bed, helping you build a mental map of your swim, though users should note that the reduced stretch requires a more controlled approach during the final stages of landing a fish.

FAQs
Is 15lb test appropriate for long-range fishing?
Yes, 15lb is a versatile strength that offers a great balance between casting distance and durability.
Can I use this line for PVA bag fishing?
The line is suitable for most carp fishing techniques, including PVA bag fishing, thanks to its high abrasion resistance.
Does the color fade over time?
Like all monofilaments, prolonged exposure to UV light will eventually affect the color and integrity of the line.
How does this differ from traditional monofilament?
Touchdown is engineered with reduced stretch for better sensitivity compared to standard, high-stretch monofilaments.
Does the line come in other colors?
Yes, it is also available in green for those fishing over weedier lake beds.
Troubleshooting
Line twisting on the reel
Ensure the spool is positioned correctly during loading and avoid reeling against a tight clutch.
Knot failure
Ensure you are using a knot suitable for monofilament, such as a Palomar or Grinner, and always moisten the line before tightening.
Line not sinking properly
Check for debris on the line or consider using a small backlead if surface tension is preventing the line from settling.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent feedback on lake bed conditions
- High abrasion resistance for rough environments
- Effective sinking properties for a stealthy presentation
- Reliable knot integrity
- Natural camouflage color
Cons
- Lower stretch compared to standard mono requires finesse
- Specific brown color may not suit all lake bed types
- Requires careful spooling to avoid line twist
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, spool the Korda Touchdown under moderate tension to prevent twists and ensure even laying on the reel drum. It is compatible with most standard carp reels and can be used effectively with lead clips or running rig setups.
For care, periodically inspect the first few meters of line for nicks or abrasions after fishing in snaggy water. Because it is a monofilament, store your reels in a cool, dark place away from direct UV sunlight when not in use to extend the lifespan of the line's polymer structure. When tying knots, always lubricate them with saliva or water before tightening to prevent heat friction damage.
