Korda Textured Distance Casting Swivel

Let's be clear, right from the start, we believe our current textured coating is the best on the market. However, so you can't say we don't listen to what you're telling us, our new textured coating has been developed due to the high demand for our famous leads with a textured coating. It wasn't easy though, in fact, it took us a bit longer to perfect it. Our lead production manager, Sean "Woody" Stockdale, had this to say about the leads: "This is not a new concept, far from it. However, we couldn't ignore the demand. We carefully examined coating granule combinations to produce the finest, dull camouflage coating."

It wasn't right to announce the release of the new range without giving the master in charge a say. Dan told us: "Since I started, I've always been mindful of the camouflage aspect of my rig. This has permeated every aspect of the Korda product range. This addition to our lead range meets an almost constant demand for textured leads in colours that actually match what you're fishing on. I stress this point because 90 percent of existing textured leads don't match what they lie on, which actually makes them stand out more. The range has been kept concise to satisfy most anglers, and we will consider expanding it as demand dictates. I personally would use both smooth and textured leads because our underwater footage shows that both have excellent camouflage properties."

So, what are the advantages of a textured lead?

Well, the coating is dull and simply won't reflect light in the same way traditional coated leads do. The textured finish will pick up sediment from the lakebed, which will add a subtle overall effect. In fact, these leads get better and better with use! The characteristics that allow the leads to pick up sediment will also allow them to absorb flavours, liquid additives, or dips. If you leave a couple of leads soaking in Goo, you'll certainly add an extra dimension of attraction to them.
