Product Information
Full details
The Korda Subline Tapered Mainline is an ideal choice for carp anglers who specialize in extreme-range casting and require a setup that minimizes line breakage and weed snagging. Its primary benefit is the integrated, knotless shock leader design, which significantly improves casting distance and reliability, though it requires precise cutting during initial setup to match your specific fishing style.

FAQs
What is the breaking strain of this version?
This specific version tapers from 8lb to 40lb breaking strain.
Do I need to tie a knot to my mainline?
No, this product features an integrated shock leader, allowing for a seamless transition that eliminates the need for knots.
How much can I cut off the leader?
You can cut up to five meters off the 15-meter leader section to suit your specific distance or rod requirements.
Is this line suitable for all bottom types?
Yes, its high abrasion resistance makes it suitable for gravel, silt, and weedy lake beds.
How do I maintain the line's longevity?
Wipe it down after use with a damp cloth and store your spools away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage.
Troubleshooting
Line fraying at the leader section
Check all rod guides for rough inserts or cracks that may be scoring the line during the cast.
Line twists or coiling
Ensure the line is loaded from the spool in the same direction it left the factory; if the problem persists, use a line-twist removal tool.
Difficulty in casting distance
Verify the amount of leader being used; cutting too much of the taper may alter the physics of the shock absorption.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When installing the Subline, ensure your rod guides are free of debris to maintain the integrity of the line surface. To customize the leader, use a sharp, dedicated line scissor to avoid fraying the edges. When spooling, it is recommended to keep the line under tension to prevent bed-digging on the reel. After each session, wipe the line down with a damp cloth to remove silt and algae, which can prematurely age the material. Store reels out of direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the monofilament polymers.
