Fishing tools and accessories

Setting up and assembling

Preparing your setups and baits requires some specific tools. The baiting needle, like the Korum Quickstop or Matrix Super Stop, goes through a boilie or a pellet to attach it to a hair, the loop of line that hangs under the hook; the hollow needle WaterQueen is used to thread worms. The cutting pliers Fox, scissors Korda and retractable scissors Rapala cut braids and fluorocarbons cleanly, which ordinary scissors tend to fray.

The rest of the setup

The setup also includes:

• Small equipment.
• Hooks.
• Lines and braids.
• Weights.
• Lateral line.
• Main line.

All the setups are gathered on the setup page.

Chumming at a distance

To chum beyond a manual cast, the catapult Preston and the spoon Korum, a kind of scoop mounted on a handle, project the bait pellets and seeds accurately to the spot. The action is repeated at the same point, aiming for a marker on the opposite bank, to concentrate the fish. Small tools like the Nash pliers, the multifunction tool Fox, or the pouch Korum that holds them all make life easier by the water.

Station and pod

For pole fishing, the station accessories Preston OffBox, side trays, nuts and rest, organize the peg around the angler. The adaptors Korum Speed Fit attach accessories to the chair or support. The pod NGT Session, a support for multiple rods, sits on hard ground where pegs won't sink, like stony banks. Tools are stored in a pouch, protected from moisture, and blades are dried after use.

Frequently asked questions

What is a baiting needle for?

The baiting needle goes through a boilie or a pellet to attach it to a hair, the loop of line that hangs under the hook. The Korum Quickstop and Matrix Super Stop models make this assembly easier.

Catapult or spoon, how to chum at distance?

The catapult, like the one from Preston, launches bait balls or hooks far from the bank. The spoon, mounted on a rod, delivers the bait accurately to the spot, without scattering.

What essential tools should be in a fishing tackle box?

A cutting pliers for lines and hooks, scissors for braids, a baiting needle and a disgorger cover the essentials. The multifunction tool Fox Edges combines several of these functions.

What is a pod used for in carp fishing?

The pod is a free-standing support that holds several rods, even on a hard surface or platform where the spikes won't penetrate. The NGT model sets up quickly and is height-adjustable.

Why use special scissors for braids?

Braids, being very strong, fray with regular scissors. The Korda or Rapala scissors have sharp and serrated blades that cut cleanly without damaging the line.
