Korda Spare Chod Krimps

The ability to quickly change (QC) any rig is a huge time saver and we have been doing this for years with standard rigs. However, due to the short length of stiff material used to construct a Chod Rig, until the crimp occurred it was always a very fiddly and frustrating knot to tie; especially on very short chods. Crimping our Mouth Trap Chod filament has become an increasingly popular way to create a QC Chod using our standard 0.6mm crimps normally associated with our popular Boom material when creating Spinner Rigs.

The size of these standard crimps wasn’t ideal but had served its purpose up until now. The Korda Product Development Team have now created a crimp specifically for building neat and tidy Chod Rigs with ease. The new crimps are 40% smaller than the standard version and can be used with 15lb, 20lb and 25lb versions of our Mouth Trap Chod Filament, creating a QC loop that is stronger than any knot; this is especially vital on such a short hooklink where the pressure on the knot is at its greatest.

These small crimps can be used with the current Crimp Tools in the range and are available in two sizes: 0.5mm and 0.6mm

Crimping is a great way to create neat, strong ties, especially when using stiffer and/or thicker materials that can be difficult to tie effectively. It also allows you to get the hooklink length just right every time, which is especially useful for Chod rigs.

You need to make sure that you use the correct size crimp for your trap. If the crimp is too big it can slip. We recommend that the XS 0.5mm is used with a 15lb and 20lb trap, while the small 0.6mm version is used with the heavier 25lb filament.

They come in a neat little box with a sliding lid, which helps prevent spills, with 50 Krimps in each pack.
