Product Information
Full details
The Korda Touchdown Mainline in Brown is designed for serious carp anglers who prioritize sensitivity and bottom-bed awareness in their terminal tackle setup. This high-performance monofilament offers reduced stretch, which provides a direct feel when your lead hits the lake floor, alongside excellent abrasion resistance and knot strength. While it is highly versatile, users should note that as a monofilament, it will naturally have more stretch than braided alternatives at extreme distances.

FAQs
Is this line suitable for long-range fishing?
While it performs well, monofilament has inherent stretch. For extreme range, consider the distance involved and ensure your rod setup can handle the line's characteristics.
Can I use this for snag fishing?
Yes, its abrasion resistance makes it a solid choice for fishing near obstacles, though always monitor your line for nicks.
Does the brown color suit every lake bed?
Brown is an excellent all-rounder, particularly effective on silt, peat, or gravel lake beds.
How often should I change my mainline?
This depends on frequency of use; however, if you notice signs of fraying or a loss of knot strength, it should be replaced immediately.
Is this line buoyant?
No, Korda Touchdown is specifically designed as a sinking line to keep your rig profile low.
Troubleshooting
Line twisting during retrieve
Ensure the line is being spooled correctly and check that your swivel is rotating freely to dissipate any accumulated twist.
Knots slipping or failing
Always moisten the line with saliva before tightening any knot and pull the tag end firmly to seat the knot properly.
Line floating on the surface
Use a backlead or a sinking putty to help pin the line to the lake bed if it is resisting sinking initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best from your Korda Touchdown Mainline, ensure it is wound onto your reel under consistent tension. Soaking the spool in warm water for a few minutes before winding can help the line settle better on the spool, reducing memory and twisting.
Compatibility: This line is compatible with all standard carp reels and rod setups. It performs exceptionally well when used in conjunction with lead clips or running rig systems.
Care: After fishing sessions, especially in silty or debris-heavy water, wipe the first few yards of the line with a damp cloth to remove any abrasive particles. Store your spare spools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the monofilament.
