FAQs
What types of rigs can I create with this kit?
Primarily, it's designed for secure float fishing setups. However, it can also be adapted to create Helicopter rigs or Paternoster rigs by adjusting the placement of the Gripper Stops and the Bead Link Swivel.
How do I adjust the float depth?
You adjust the float depth by sliding the Gripper Stops up or down the main line. Once the desired depth is set, tighten the Gripper Stops firmly to hold the float in position.
Is the camouflage effective in all water types?
The Smokescreen camouflage is designed to reduce visibility in various underwater conditions. Its effectiveness may vary slightly depending on water clarity and light penetration, but it generally offers superior stealth compared to standard tackle.
Can I use this kit with heavy feeders?
While versatile, this kit is optimized for float fishing. For very heavy feeder fishing or extreme conditions, you might need a more robust terminal setup.
What size line is compatible with the Gripper Stops?
The Gripper Stops are designed to accommodate a range of common fishing line diameters. They offer a secure grip on most monofilament and braided lines.
Does the kit come with hooks or floats?
The Korum Smokescreen Ready Float Kits typically include the wire, Gripper Stops, and Bead Link Swivel. Floats, hooks, and main line are usually sold separately.
Troubleshooting
Float slips despite Gripper Stops
Ensure the line is securely seated within the Gripper Stops and that the line is not wet and slippery. Tighten the stops firmly. If using very fine diameter line, consider a different type of stop or adding a small bead for better purchase.
Tangles during casting
Check that the float is securely positioned and not moving. Ensure adequate distance between the float and the hook. Consider using a slightly longer leader. For Paternoster or Helicopter rigs, ensure the components are correctly spaced.
Bead Link Swivel is stiff
Rinse the swivel with fresh water and apply a small amount of line-safe lubricant if necessary. Avoid excessive force which could damage the swivel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Care:
After use, rinse the components with fresh water to remove any salt or debris. Store the kit in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Ensure the Gripper Stops remain clean to maintain their grip.
