Product Information

Full details

The Korda Dark Matter Balancing Weights are essential for carp anglers looking to achieve a perfectly balanced presentation on chod, hinged stiff, and spinner rigs. Designed for anglers who prefer a clean, consistent alternative to traditional putty, these pure tungsten weights provide excellent density and durability; however, users must ensure they are paired specifically with Korda size 11 swivels to maintain the intended fit and performance.

FAQs

Can I use these weights with other brand swivels?

These are designed specifically for Korda size 11 swivels to ensure a secure, flush fit. Performance with other brands cannot be guaranteed.

Are these weights reusable?

Yes, they are fully reusable and resistant to wear and tear, making them a cost-effective alternative to putty.

Do I need a tool to remove them?

They can generally be removed by hand, but if seated tightly, you can use the same Krimp Tool or small pliers to gently pry them off.

Will these weights attract crayfish?

Unlike soft putty, which crayfish often pick at or remove, these tungsten weights are hard and resistant to crayfish interference.

What is the benefit of the laser-etched marking?

The etching allows you to instantly identify the grammage, which is helpful when you have multiple weights of different sizes in your tackle box.

Are they effective for naked chod rigs?

Yes, they are highly effective for naked chod rigs where achieving the correct sink rate and presentation is often difficult.

Troubleshooting

The weight is difficult to slide onto the swivel barrel.

Ensure you are using a genuine Korda size 11 swivel. If the fit remains tight, use a Krimp Tool to press the weight into place securely.

The rig is not balanced correctly despite using the weight.

Check the buoyancy of your specific hookbait; you may need a different grammage weight (e.g., 0.30g, 0.45g, or 0.50g) to achieve the perfect sink rate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly more durable than traditional rig putty
  • Streamlined, snag-free profile when fitted to the swivel
  • Crayfish-resistant material prevents bait tampering
  • Precise weight options allow for exact bait balancing
  • Fully reusable for multiple sessions

Cons

  • Compatible only with Korda size 11 swivels
  • Requires precise matching to hookbait buoyancy
  • Tight fit may require tools for initial seating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, slide the weight directly onto the barrel of the Korda size 11 swivel. Due to the precision engineering, the fit should be snug. If the weight feels too tight during installation, use a Krimp Tool to gently seat it onto the swivel barrel to avoid damaging the coating or the swivel itself.

Because these weights are made of tungsten, they are virtually indestructible under normal angling conditions. They do not require specific maintenance other than rinsing after use in saltwater or silty environments to keep the laser-etched markings clear. Ensure they are kept in a dedicated rig wallet or compartment to prevent loss, as their small size makes them easy to misplace.
