Product Information
Full details
The Korda Touchdown Mainline in Green is a high-performance monofilament line designed for carp anglers who prioritize sensitivity and bottom feedback. By engineering a controlled reduction in stretch, this line allows you to feel the lead hit the lake bed more distinctly, providing a significant advantage when mapping out your swim; however, beginners should note that this stiffer line profile requires careful knot tying to ensure maximum strength retention.

FAQs
Is Korda Touchdown suitable for long-range casting?
Yes, the line has excellent casting properties, though ensure your rod and lead weight are matched correctly to the breaking strain you have selected.
Does the green color work in all lake conditions?
The green finish is highly versatile and acts as a camouflage in most green-tinted or weedy water, making it a great all-around choice.
How often should I change this mainline?
It is recommended to replace your mainline at the start of every season or sooner if you fish heavily in snaggy or rocky conditions.
Can I use this for river fishing?
The abrasion resistance makes it a suitable candidate for river fishing, provided you use an appropriate breaking strain for the flow and snags present.
Does the reduced stretch affect the fight?
Yes, it provides a more direct connection, which is better for setting hooks, but it means you should ensure your drag/clutch is correctly adjusted to cushion the fish's lunges.
Troubleshooting
Line is bedding in on the reel spool
Ensure the line is spooled under sufficient tension and avoid overfilling the reel to prevent loops from pulling under the wraps.
Knot strength seems lower than advertised
Always lubricate the line with saliva or water before pulling the knot tight and draw it up slowly to prevent friction burn.
Line not sinking as expected
Check that the line is clean of surface scum and consider using a line sinking putty or leadcore leader to pull the first few feet down faster.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent feedback for mapping lake beds
- High abrasion resistance for rugged environments
- Effective, fast-sinking properties
- Subtle green color matches most carp fishing venues
Cons
- Requires proper wetting of knots for best performance
- Less forgiving than ultra-stretchy lines for beginners
- Limited to specific green and brown colorways
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, always wet the line thoroughly before tightening your knots to prevent friction heat damage, which can weaken monofilament. When winding the line onto your reel, ensure it is packed tightly and evenly to prevent bedding in during heavy casts. For the best sink rate, ensure your reel is spooled with a slight tension. Periodically check the first few meters of the line for nicks or abrasion after fishing in rocky areas, and trim the line back if you notice any signs of wear. Keep your spare spools stored out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry place to prevent UV degradation of the monofilament.
