Product Information
Full details
The Korda COG (Centre of Gravity) Kit is designed for dedicated carp anglers seeking to maximize their hooking potential by ensuring the hook link is attached to the heaviest portion of the lead. This system is ideal for those fishing on firm lake beds like gravel or sand, offering the hooking efficiency of an inline lead paired with the safety and casting versatility of a lead clip. While highly effective, it is most reliable on stable ground and may require more careful selection of lead weight to match the specific boom included in the kit.

FAQs
Can I use the COG kit on soft, silty lake beds?
The system is optimized for firm lake beds such as gravel, sand, or firm silt. On very soft, deep silt, the lead may sink, which can interfere with the intended hooking mechanics.
Are all COG booms the same size?
No, each boom is specifically numbered to match a particular lead weight range. Always ensure the number on the boom matches your lead weight for optimal performance.
Does the lead drop off on every bite?
The system is designed to allow lead ejection for safety, but it is not intended to lose the lead on every fish. The tension at which the lead drops is determined by how far you push the tail rubber onto the clip.
Can I cast this system at long ranges?
Yes, the COG system is aerodynamic and can be cast at range, provided you use an appropriate rod and casting technique.
How many kits come in a single pack?
Each pack includes three complete units, including the booms, clips, and tail rubbers.
What happens if I use the wrong boom for my lead?
Using an mismatched boom can disrupt the centre of gravity and prevent the rig from functioning as intended, potentially reducing hooking efficiency.
Troubleshooting
Lead is not ejecting properly
Ensure the tail rubber is not pushed on too firmly, allowing it to slide off under pressure.
Rig is tangling during the cast
Check that the hook link is properly sleeved and consider using a PVA nugget to protect the hook point.
Boom appears bent or kinked
Replace the boom section; do not attempt to straighten it as this can weaken the integrity of the material.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly improves hooking efficiency on firm lake beds
- Integrates the safety benefits of a lead clip system
- Numbered booms prevent mismatching of components
- Extensively tested via underwater footage and field trials
- Versatile for both short-range margin fishing and long-range casting
Cons
- Best performance is limited to firm lake beds like gravel or sand
- Requires precise pairing of boom and lead weight
- Not ideal for deep, soft silt where the lead may bury too deep
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Korda COG system, first ensure you are using the correct `COG boom` that matches your lead weight as indicated by the numbering on the boom itself. Slide the lead onto the stem, attach the lead clip, and secure it with the provided tail rubber.
Care instructions involve checking the boom for any signs of fraying or damage after every capture, especially if fishing near sharp gravel. When not in use, store the booms flat to prevent kinks. The system is compatible with standard leadcore leaders, but always ensure your lead clip is tested for smooth ejection before your first cast.
