The Korum Smokeshield Coated Braid comes in various breaking strains. Choose the one suitable for your target species and fishing conditions.
Check for abrasion or damage to the line. Re-tie the knot, ensuring it is properly tightened and moistened. Reduce casting force if necessary. Check the rod guides for any damage.
Ensure knots are tied correctly, using appropriate techniques like the Palomar knot or grinner knot. Moisten the line before tightening the knot. Use a knot puller to ensure a secure knot.
Check for any damage to the coating. Ensure the rig is constructed correctly. Consider using a slightly stiffer hooklength material if the problem persists. Check the casting technique.
To set up the Korum Smokeshield Coated Braid, begin by selecting a suitable hook and swivel. Use a knot like the Palomar knot or the grinner knot for secure connections. When tying knots, moisten the braid and tighten slowly to avoid damaging the coating or weakening the line. Avoid sharp bends that can compromise the coating. Inspect the line regularly for any signs of damage, such as abrasion or fraying. Store the braid in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Compatibility is best with hooks and terminal tackle suitable for specimen angling. Clean the line after each use by rinsing it with fresh water to remove any debris.
