The Korda Dark Matter Tungsten Coated Braid is designed for serious carp anglers who require a fast-sinking, reliable hook link material that stays pinned to the lake bed. Featuring a unique coating embedded with tungsten granules, it provides the semi-stiffness necessary for advanced rig mechanics, helping you present baits effectively in challenging conditions. While its durable coating offers excellent protection against snags, it requires careful stripping of the outer layer for specific rig presentations.

Yes, it is available in various strengths, such as the 25lb version detailed here, designed to handle large fish.
The coating provides a semi-stiff feel, but you can strip away sections of the coating to increase flexibility where needed.
Each spool contains 10 meters of braid.
Yes, its fast-sinking properties help it settle quickly onto the bottom, making it effective for various lake bed types.
Absolutely, the semi-stiff nature makes it ideal for creating hinged stiff rigs or combi-rigs for pop-up presentations.
Ensure the hook link is sufficiently stiff and check that the hair is not catching on the hook point; consider increasing the stiffness by leaving more of the coating intact.
Check your terminal tackle for sharp edges and ensure you are not using an overly aggressive stripping method.
To maximize the effectiveness of the Dark Matter braid, ensure your knots are tightened carefully to avoid damaging the outer coating. When stripping the braid, use a dedicated stripping tool or your fingernails to remove the desired length of coating without fraying the inner core. For storage, keep the braid on its original square spool to prevent kinks and tangles. When fishing over clean, sandy, or gravel bottoms, the brown colorway provides excellent camouflage, though users should ensure the hook link length is appropriate for the depth of the silt or weed present in the swim.
