Product Information

Full details

The Korum Smokescreen Micro Braid is a premium, fast-sinking hooklength material designed for specimen anglers who target cautious, big fish in challenging conditions. It provides exceptional strength and durability while its unique camouflage properties help it blend seamlessly into the lake bed. While it is highly effective for various rig styles, its thin diameter requires careful knot selection to maintain maximum break strength during heavy-duty use.

FAQs

Is the Smokescreen Micro Braid suitable for PVA bag rigs?

Yes, its supple nature makes it an excellent choice for short hooklengths used in PVA bag presentations.

Does this braid require a specific hook type?

It performs well with most standard specimen hooks, but ensure the hook eye is smooth to prevent line damage during the knot-tying process.

How does this compare to monofilament hooklengths?

Unlike monofilament, this braid is extremely supple and sinks faster, allowing for more natural bait movement and a better presentation on the lake bed.

Can I use this for surface fishing?

While technically possible, it is designed as a sinking braid and may not perform as well as floating monofilament or copolymer lines for surface work.

What is the best way to cut this braid?

Use a dedicated pair of sharp braid scissors to get a clean cut without fraying the ends of the material.

Troubleshooting

Knot slipping under pressure

Ensure you are using a knot suitable for braided lines, such as the Palomar knot, and always moisten the line before tightening.

Line tangling during the cast

Incorporate a small piece of rig putty or an anti-tangle sleeve to increase the weight at the hook end and keep the braid straight.

Fraying observed after use

This is likely caused by contact with sharp rocks or zebra mussels; check your spot for debris and consider using a slightly heavier breaking strain if fishing in snaggy water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent camouflage in diverse water conditions
  • Fast sinking rate keeps presentation pinned down
  • Reliable strength for landing large specimens
  • Supple nature allows for natural bait movement

Cons

  • Requires experience with braid-specific knots
  • Thin diameter can be prone to tangling if not used with anti-tangle sleeves
  • Visibility can change slightly depending on the specific lake substrate color

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, always use a dedicated baiting needle when threading the braid through small-eyed hooks or swivels. Given its low-stretch properties, ensure you have a sharp hook to maximize penetration upon the strike. When securing your rig, always lubricate your knots with water or saliva before pulling them tight to prevent friction burn, which can weaken the braid fibers. Store the spool away from direct sunlight and sharp objects to maintain the integrity of the coating and fibers over time. We recommend regularly checking the first few inches of your hooklength after each landed fish for any signs of abrasion or fraying, replacing the section if any damage is detected to ensure continued reliability.
