Product Information
Full details
The Korda Dark Matter Drop Off Inline Leader is designed for carp anglers who need a robust, low-visibility solution for fishing in challenging environments like heavy weed or snags. By incorporating a size 8 ring swivel, it allows for a seamless 'drop off' lead system that sheds the lead when necessary to ensure fish safety and successful landing. While it offers exceptional abrasion resistance and sinking capabilities, users should note that the system is specifically optimized for use with Korda Inline Leads.

FAQs
Does this leader come pre-spliced?
No, this leader is designed to be attached directly to your mainline using a knot, meaning no splicing or loop tying is required.
Can I use this with any brand of lead?
This leader is specifically optimized for use with Korda Inline Leads to ensure the drop-off mechanism functions correctly.
What is the breaking strain of the leader?
The Korda Dark Matter Drop Off Inline Leader has a tested breaking strain of 30lb.
How does the drop-off system help in weed?
If your lead gets stuck in the weed, the pressure from the fish causes the swivel to release from the inline lead, freeing you from the weight and allowing you to pull the fish through the weed more effectively.
Is the leader available in other colors?
Yes, it is also available in grey and clear versions to suit different lakebed types.
Troubleshooting
Lead is not dropping off when needed
Ensure the size 8 ring swivel is correctly seated within the Korda Inline Lead housing; if the lead is forced on too tightly, it may need a slight adjustment.
Leader not laying flat on the lakebed
Check that the leader is not being pulled taut by an overly light bobbin setting; allow a small amount of slack to let the tungsten collars pull the line down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the leader is straightforward. Simply tie your mainline directly to the loop end of the leader using a strong, reliable knot. Once attached, slide your Korda Inline Lead onto the leader, ensuring the swivel fits snugly into the lead housing. For maintenance, rinse the leader in fresh water after sessions in silty or sandy water to remove debris that might impede the lead release. Periodically inspect the leader material for signs of fraying or damage if fishing over sharp rocks, and replace immediately if any compromise to the 30lb breaking strain is observed.
