FAQs
Is Korda Arma-Kord suitable for main line use?
While it can be used as a main line, it is primarily designed as a high-performance shock or snag leader due to its abrasive-resistant properties.
What knot should I use with Arma-Kord?
The Albright knot or the back-to-back Uni-knot are generally highly effective for joining this braid to monofilament leaders.
Does this line float?
As a braided line, it has a tendency to be more neutral than floating, making it effective for keeping the last few meters pinned to the bottom.
Can I use this line in salt water?
Yes, the materials used are synthetic and highly resistant to rot, though you should rinse it thoroughly after salt water exposure.
How do I cut this braid cleanly?
Use sharp, dedicated braid scissors. If you use dull scissors, the line will fray, making it difficult to pass through eyelets.
Troubleshooting
Knot Slippage
Braid is naturally slippery. Use more wraps than you would with monofilament (at least 6-8 turns) and always lubricate with saliva before pulling tight.
Fraying at the leader connection
Check your guide rings for ceramic chips or cracks, as braid can expose and amplify existing hardware defects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When setting up the Arma-Kord, it is essential to wet the line thoroughly before tightening any knots to prevent heat-friction damage. Because it is a braided material, avoid using sharp tools to cut it, as this may fray the fibers; a dedicated line cutter or heated wire tool is recommended for a clean edge. Regarding care, rinse the line with fresh water after fishing in silty or sandy conditions to remove microscopic debris that can cause wear over time. Store your reels containing Arma-Kord in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the fibers.
