Product Information

Full details

The Korda Unwaxed Bait Floss is a specialized angling accessory designed for carp and specimen anglers who need a secure, reliable way to attach hard baits like pop-ups or boilies to their rigs. Its primary benefit is the unwaxed finish, which allows knots to be tightened down firmly to prevent slipping during long-range casts or when using heavy leads. While highly effective for securing baits via the lasso method, users should note that the unwaxed nature requires careful knot management to ensure the floss does not fray during the tightening process.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this floss waxed?

No, this is specifically an unwaxed version, which provides better knot security and less slippage than waxed versions.

How much floss is on each spool?

Each spool contains 30 metres of bait floss.

Will this fit in my existing tackle box?

The spool is designed with a square profile specifically to fit neatly into the Korda Tackle Box system.

Can I use this for standard hair rigs?

While intended for lasso mounting, it can be used for other applications where a thin, strong, and non-slip thread is required.

What is the best way to finish the knot?

Trim the excess floss closely and use a bait blobbing tool to gently melt the tag ends into a small 'blob' to prevent the knot from undoing.

Troubleshooting

Knot slipping during tightening

Ensure you are pulling the knot slowly and evenly; because it is unwaxed, consistent tension is key to seating the knot properly.

Bait flaking during the lasso process

If using very soft or crumbly baits, reduce the tension during the final pull to prevent the floss from cutting into the bait material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Knots pull tighter and more securely due to the unwaxed finish
Excellent reliability for long-range casting with heavy leads
Compact spool design saves space in terminal tackle boxes
Prevents expensive bait loss during aggressive casting maneuvers

Cons

Requires manual knot tightening as there is no wax to assist in seating
Not intended for applications where a waxed texture might be preferred for knot lubrication
Edge of the floss can be sharp if pulled too aggressively against soft materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To setup, ensure your bait is firm enough to handle the pressure of the lasso knot. Thread the floss through the eye of the swivel or ring, loop it around your bait, and pull the ends slowly and evenly to ensure the knot is seated perfectly against the bait's surface. Once the knot is secure, trim the excess floss close to the knot and apply a small amount of heat (using a bait blobbing tool) to seal the ends.

Store the spool in a dry, cool environment within your Korda Tackle Box to prevent the material from degrading. Keep the spool away from sharp objects to prevent the floss from unraveling on the square housing.
