Product Information
Full details
The Korda BOOM Loop hook lengths are designed for dedicated carp anglers seeking a professional-grade, ready-to-use solution for creating effective combi rigs. Featuring 25lb fluorocarbon construction, these rigs provide the stiffness required for advanced rig mechanics and anti-tangle performance. While these pre-tied lengths offer exceptional convenience and strength, they are specialized tools that require the angler to attach their own preferred hook and braided bait section to complete the setup.

FAQs
Can I use these for pop-up rigs?
Yes, they are excellent for pop-up presentations, particularly when combined with a stiff boom section to keep the hook bait away from the lead.
What is the breaking strain of the material?
The Korda BOOM material used in these hook lengths is rated at 25lb.
How many come in a pack?
Each retail pack contains 3 ready-tied hook lengths.
Is the material clear or colored?
The material is black, designed to blend in well with various lake beds.
Can I resize the Boom section?
It is not recommended to cut or re-crimp the material yourself, as this may compromise the structural integrity of the line.
What is the best way to attach the hook?
You should attach your hook to a separate short braided section, then loop that braid onto the pre-existing crimped loop on the BOOM length.
Troubleshooting
The rig appears to be tangling during the cast
Ensure you are using a slightly heavier lead and that your braided section is not too long, which can cause the rig to collapse back onto the Boom material.
Putty is sliding off the crimp
Ensure the crimp is dry before applying the putty, and work the putty into a ball around the crimp to ensure it holds securely under water.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-stiffness fluorocarbon maintains rig spacing and prevents tangles
- Professional-grade crimped connections provide superior reliability compared to some manual knots
- Easily balanced using tungsten putty around the crimp
- Optimized for combi-rig configurations
- Time-saving pre-tied loop connections
Cons
- Requires manual attachment of hook and braid section
- Fluorocarbon material is visible if not managed correctly on clear substrates
- The 25lb breaking strain may be excessive for smaller species
- Limited to specific lengths provided by the manufacturer
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To setup, slide your braided hook section through the pre-crimped loop of the BOOM length and secure it using a standard loop-to-loop connection. Ensure your lead system is compatible with a quick-change swivel to utilize the loop at the base of the Boom.
Care Instructions:
- Always inspect the Boom material for any signs of abrasion after catching a fish or dragging through gravel.
- If the material develops a slight bend, it can often be straightened by holding it under light tension over steam, though this should be done with caution to avoid damaging the integrity of the fluorocarbon.
- When not in use, store the rigs in a rig wallet to maintain their shape and prevent the stiff material from taking a permanent set.
