Product Information

Full details

The Korda Silicone Sleeves are essential terminal tackle components designed for carp anglers seeking a professional, tangle-free, and camouflaged rig presentation. These 3mm sleeves are perfect for covering swivels, Kwik-links, and Stik-Klips to blend seamlessly into the lake bed, though they require manual trimming and a bit of lubrication for the smoothest installation process.

FAQs

Can I reuse these sleeves?

Yes, they can be reused multiple times, though the silicone may eventually lose its grip after repeated removal and re-application.

Are these sleeves compatible with all swivels?

They are designed to fit most standard carp fishing swivels and Kwik-links; however, very large swivels may cause the silicone to stretch excessively.

What is the best way to cut these to size?

Use a pair of sharp, high-quality braid scissors to ensure a clean, smooth cut without fraying the silicone.

Does the Camo Green color fade?

The silicone is manufactured with the color throughout, so it is highly resistant to fading even after prolonged underwater use.

Do these sleeves affect the mechanics of a Run Rig?

No, when installed correctly, they keep the rig tidy without restricting the free-running movement of the lead.

Troubleshooting

Sleeve is too difficult to slide over the swivel.

Ensure you have sufficiently lubricated the metal component with water or saliva.

Sleeve keeps sliding off the swivel.

The sleeve may be overstretched or the component is too small; try trimming the sleeve to a shorter length or choosing a tighter fit if applicable.

The sleeve looks untidy on the rig.

Use sharp braid scissors to trim the edge of the silicone for a perfectly square, flush finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for camouflaging terminal tackle
  • Prevents tangles around swivels and clips
  • Provides a neat and tidy aesthetic to rigs
  • Easy to customize by trimming with scissors

Cons

  • Requires wetting for smooth installation
  • Small parts can be difficult to manage in cold weather
  • Not intended for heavy-duty shock absorption

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first thread your main line through the eye of your chosen connector, such as a swivel or Kwik-link. Next, pass the line through the silicone sleeve. Slide the sleeve onto the metal component until it is fully covered. For maintenance, rinse the sleeves in fresh water after sessions in silty or muddy environments to ensure the material remains supple. Avoid using petroleum-based lubricants, as these can degrade the silicone over time; stick to water or saliva for easier application.
