Korda Camo Rig Tube - 2m silt

A rig tube prevents the rig from wrapping around the main line when casting. And it prevents the main line from cutting into the skin of the fish during the fight.

Danny Fairbrass once observed a fish twisting around the main line during a fight. The result was a number of torn scales. The angler in question had decided not to use a rig tube. Because he was fishing with a method feeder into which he had kneaded his leader. Due to the fact that there was no longer any danger of tangles, he thought he could do without a rig tube. Unfortunately for the fish, it turned out.

That's why we at Korda appeal to you: Always use a Rig tube! If you use the tube correctly, it is almost invisible to the carp.

Our tubes sink to the bottom of the water, additional weighting with plasticine is not necessary. This is an important aspect. Because the better a rig tube nestles against the bottom of the water, the lower the risk that the carp will swim against it. Nevertheless, there is of course the possibility of adding plasticine (putty) if you want to be on the safe side.

Three colours
We also offer the rig tubes in three colors. First there would be herb-green ("weed"). This is the right choice for most bodies of water. Because a little bit of weed or thread algae are present in almost every body of water. In the second part of our underwater films, you can see how many weeds there are even in lakes where you wouldn't expect it.

Then there is the Rig tube in the color mud-brown ("silt"). Perfect for muddy waters. But also for gravel quarry ponds in which there is a lot of whirled up sediment. And that is more often the case than one might think.

Danny Fairbrass was fishing at Savay Lake one winter day. When he pulled the lead along with the marker float into the shallow water near the bank while plumbing, he still got a very jerky, hard feedback - otherwise a clear indication of hard, gravelly bottom. In truth, however, Danny couldn't see the tactile lead in the 30 centimeters of water - that's how deep it was sunk in the soft sediment. What Danny learned from this: “Even if the feeler lead suggests a gravel surface, you always have to expect a light layer of mud. It is best to simply check in the shallow water near the shore whether there is already a layer of mud there. That allows conclusions to be drawn.”

The third rig-tube color is gravel. This tube is suitable for quarry ponds that are free of mud and weed. But be careful: This tube can adapt to the ground completely unobtrusively, but only a few meters away, where there is more mud and weed, it acts like a laser beam. It may always be the same thing, admittedly, but: if you match the color of your rig components to the underwater conditions, you will get more bites. The third part of our underwater films illustrates this impressively.
The fourth rig tube color is sand/loam ("clay"), rounding out the rig tube offering.

Important tips
Before you thread your main line or shock cord through the tube, you should cut the end of the line to a point. You can do this if you position the scissors at an angle. You should also pull the cord straight. Because you don't stand a chance with a twisted cord. Our tube is delivered in a very large pack, so we avoid a strong squiggle effect. In addition, the tube is made of a very soft material, so it can be easily stretched.

In winter it is an advantage to warm the tube in your hand. Then it will be easier to straighten. If you take the tube off the main line and thread it back on shortly afterwards, you should pull it back and forth over the main line a few times before pulling it down. This will remove any mud and sand particles that might make rethreading difficult later.
