Product Information

Full details

The Korda Dark Matter Tubing in Gravel Brown is designed for anglers seeking the ultimate in rig concealment and ease of use. Its primary benefit is its exceptional weight and super limp nature, allowing it to perfectly hug the lakebed contours and remain undetected by wary fish. A potential caveat is its specific colour, which is best suited for gravelly or mixed substrates, though other colours are available for different environments. This product is the new benchmark for rig tubing, celebrated for its unparalleled weight and simple threading capabilities, ensuring your rigs are presented effectively and stealthily.

FAQs

What makes Dark Matter Tubing the 'heaviest' on the market?

The tubing is manufactured with a high-density, tungsten-impregnated material that provides significantly more weight per foot compared to standard rig tubing, ensuring a rapid sink rate and excellent lakebed conformity.

What other colours are available for Dark Matter Tubing?

Besides Gravel Brown, Korda Dark Matter Tubing is also available in Weed Green and Silt colours to match various fishing environments.

Can I use this tubing with braided mainlines?

Yes, the Dark Matter Tubing is compatible with most monofilament and braided mainlines. Its suppleness helps it to lay naturally even when connected to a braid.

How does the Gravel Brown colour perform in different lakebeds?

The Gravel Brown colour is optimized for gravel, sand, and mixed-substrate lakebeds. For silty bottoms, the Silt colour would be a better match, and for weedier conditions, the Weed Green option is recommended.

Is Dark Matter Tubing durable?

Yes, while it is very supple, it is also designed for durability in fishing conditions. However, like all rig components, it should be inspected for wear and tear regularly.

What is the diameter of the tubing?

The tubing is designed to fit standard rig construction needs, and while specific diameters vary slightly by application, it is engineered to be easily threaded and not overly bulky.

Troubleshooting

Tubing is difficult to thread

Ensure the end of the tubing is clean and free of debris. You can slightly moisten the end or use a fine threading needle if necessary.

Tubing floats or does not lay flat

Verify you are using the Dark Matter tubing, which is specifically designed for its weight. Ensure the correct end is in the water, and avoid any buoyancy aids unless intended.

Tubing appears too stiff

This tubing is designed to be very supple. If it feels stiff, ensure it has been stored correctly and has not been exposed to extreme temperatures or prolonged stress. Gently flex it to restore suppleness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unmatched weight for superior sink rate and lakebed adhesion.
  • Highly flexible to naturally follow bottom contours.
  • Simple and fast threading process.
  • Effective camouflage in gravelly environments.
  • Enhances rig stealth and presentation.

Cons

  • Gravel Brown colour may be less effective on very silty or weed-dominated bottoms.
  • Requires careful handling to avoid kinks, though its suppleness helps.
  • Primarily a rig component, not a standalone fishing product.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the Korda Dark Matter Tubing, simply thread your main line through it. Ensure the tubing is cut to the required length for your rig. Its easy-threading design makes this a straightforward process. For best results, avoid sharp bends that could kink the tubing; its supple nature generally prevents this, but care should always be taken.

Compatibility: This tubing is designed to be compatible with most mainlines and leader materials used in carp fishing. It is also intended to work seamlessly with other products in the Korda Dark Matter range, such as the Tungsten Putty, to create a fully integrated and camouflaged rig system.

Care: Store the tubing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its suppleness and integrity. After use, rinse with fresh water if exposed to saltwater or debris, and allow it to dry naturally. Inspect the tubing periodically for any signs of wear or damage.
