Korda Kickers
The eagerly awaited Kickers are now in tackle shops! With fishing it can
often be the simpler things which can make a real difference, and that
is definitely the case with the new Kickers.
For years anglers have been adding pieces of shrink tubing and the like
to their hooks to help improve rig mechanics and make the hook turn more
aggressively in the mouth of a carp and improve the chances of a
hookhold.
Years ago this was done by using a bent hook, and although very
effective they also caused damage to a fishes mouth, so anglers switched
to tubing. Now these Kickers have taken the hassle out of having to
steam and shape shrink tubing to achieve this effect, as they can simply
be slipped over the eye of the hook to give the perfect presentation in
a matter of seconds. Some anglers look to try and disguise their hook as
much as possible, and they will like the green and brown versions which
will blend in with most lake beds. But on some waters adding a touch of
colour to the hook can produce quicker bites, which is why they also
come in a choice of vibrant red, yellow, white or pink varieties. These
have already proved very successful during testing when used in
combinations such as the yellow Kicker with an artificial corn hookbait.
The Kickers are made from a robust rubber which will easily slide over
the eye of the hook and hold in place, and when a fish is hooked it
straightens but will then return to its original shape afterwards. The
anglers who have had access to these in advance have been coming up with
all sorts of other presentations as well as that which they were
originally designed for! There are three sizes available, with small
fitting size 10-12 hooks, medium for size 6-8, and large for size 2-4
