Dan told us, “Ever since I started, I’ve paid great attention to camouflage aspect of my rig. This has permeated every aspect of Korda’s product range. This addition to our lead range satisfies the almost constant demand for textured leads in colours that actually match what you’re fishing over. I stress this point because 90 per cent of the existing textured leads do not match what they will be lying on, which actually makes them stand out more. The range has been kept concise to keep the majority of anglers happy and we will consider expanding it as demand dictates.

Well, the coating is matt, so it simply won’t reflect light in the same way as a conventionally coated lead. The textured finish will pick up sediment from the lake bed, adding to the overall subtle effect. In fact, these leads get better and better with use! The characteristics that allow the leads to take on sediment will also allow the leads to absorb flavours, glugs or dips.
