Product Information
Full details
The Korda Kamo Coated Braid is designed for serious carp anglers who require a robust, versatile hooklink material that blends seamlessly into the lake bed. This super-tough, strippable braid provides excellent abrasion resistance and allows for a wide array of rig configurations, ranging from basic combi rigs to advanced multi-rig setups. While the coating offers superior durability, users should ensure they use the correct stripping tool or technique to avoid damaging the inner braid core when preparing their rigs.

FAQs
Can I use Kamo for pop-up rigs?
Yes, the strippable nature of Kamo makes it excellent for rigs that require a supple hook end for pop-ups, such as the multi-rig.
Does the camo pattern fade?
The banded-camouflage pattern is durable, but normal wear and tear from lake debris can affect the surface over time.
What is the best knot for this braid?
A standard Grinner or Knotless knot typically works well, but always ensure the knot is lubricated and tightened slowly.
Is this braid suitable for weedy lakes?
Yes, the tough coating and camouflage pattern make it an ideal choice for weedy environments.
How long should the stripped section be?
The length depends on your specific rig, but 1-2 inches is common for a typical hook-end movement.
Troubleshooting
Coating is difficult to remove
Ensure you are using a sharp stripping tool or a smooth-edged braid stripper to avoid snagging the inner core.
Rig tangling during the cast
Check that the length of your stiff boom section is sufficient; consider increasing the length of the coated section to improve anti-tangle performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, use a dedicated stripping tool to remove the outer coating without nicking the internal braid fibers. When creating a combi rig, ensure your knot strength is tested, especially when joining the Kamo braid to a mono or fluorocarbon boom section. To maintain the life of the hooklink, keep the braid stored away from direct sunlight when not in use and always check for wear after landing a fish, especially if you have been fishing in particularly 'snaggy' or debris-heavy waters. Regular replacement of the hooklink after significant use is recommended to maintain maximum breaking strength.
