Product Information
Full details
The Korda Kamo Coated Hooklink Braid is designed for discerning carp anglers looking for a versatile, abrasion-resistant material that excels in varied aquatic environments. This 15lb breaking strain line offers a unique banded-camouflage pattern that masks the rig on the lake bed, providing a significant advantage when fishing for pressured fish. While its super-tough construction ensures durability, users should be aware that the coating requires a smooth stripping action to prevent unwanted fraying of the inner braid.

FAQs
Can I use this for pop-up rigs?
Yes, the Kamo Coated Braid is excellent for pop-up presentations, particularly the multi-rig, due to the balance of stiffness and flexibility.
Is this braid suitable for heavy snag fishing?
While it is abrasion-resistant, for very heavy snag or weed fishing, you may want to consider the higher breaking strain variants of the Kamo range.
How do I remove the coating easily?
Use a specialized bait stripping tool or your fingernails to lightly score and peel away the required amount of coating.
Does the camouflage pattern wear off?
No, the banding is integral to the braid's design and will remain consistent throughout the usage of the line.
Can this be used on lead-clip systems?
Yes, it is perfectly compatible with all standard lead-clip and inline lead systems commonly used in carp fishing.
Troubleshooting
Coating fraying during stripping
Ensure you are using a smooth motion with a dedicated stripping tool rather than pulling against a sharp object.
Knot slipping
Always lubricate the line with saliva or water before pulling the knot tight to ensure the coating does not overheat and slide.
Rig tangling on cast
Ensure you leave enough of the stiff coating intact to create a boom effect, which prevents the hooklink from wrapping around the main line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, use a dedicated stripping tool or your fingernails to carefully remove the coating. Avoid using metallic pliers which may damage the inner braid fibers. When tying knots, ensure the knot is well-lubricated with moisture before pulling tight to prevent heat damage to the coating. Store the braid in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature UV degradation of the material. This braid is compatible with most standard carp fishing hook patterns, including wide-gape and long-shank designs.
