Product Information

Full details

The Korda Heavy Latch Needle is designed for carp anglers seeking a reliable tool for baiting with boilies and particles. Its key benefit is the mega-bright green handle, significantly reducing the chance of losing it on the bank. A minor caveat is that while ideal for many baiting tasks, specialized needles exist for more delicate applications.

FAQs

What type of bait is this needle best for?

The Heavy Latch Needle is ideal for standard boilies and various particles. It is not recommended for very soft baits or splicing.

Why is the handle so bright?

The mega-bright green handle is designed to make the needle highly visible, greatly reducing the chance of losing it on the bank.

Can I use this needle for splicing leader material?

No, this Heavy Latch Needle is not designed for splicing. Korda offers specialized splicing needles for that purpose.

How do I clean the needle?

Rinse the needle with fresh water after use and dry it thoroughly before storing to prevent corrosion and maintain the latch mechanism.

What is the length of this needle?

The Korda Heavy Latch Needle is 7cm in length.

Is this needle suitable for soft boilies or sweetcorn?

While it can handle some softer baits, the Fine Latch Needle (purple handle) is specifically designed for softer boilies, soft pellets, and sweetcorn.

Troubleshooting

Needle latch not closing properly

Ensure there is no debris caught in the latch mechanism. Gently clean the latch and test again. If damaged, consider replacement.

Difficulty piercing certain baits

Ensure the bait is positioned correctly on the needle before piercing. For very hard baits, a slight twisting motion can help.

Needle feels loose in hand

Ensure you are gripping the handle firmly. The bright handle is designed for visibility, not necessarily for enhanced grip beyond a standard tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: No assembly is required. The Korda Heavy Latch Needle is ready for immediate use. Select your desired bait (boilie or particle), open the latch, insert the bait onto the needle, and close the latch to secure it. Push the needle through your chosen rig component (e.g., hair rig).

Care: After use, rinse the needle with fresh water to remove any debris. Dry thoroughly before storing. Periodically check the latch mechanism for smooth operation.
