Korda Baiting Needles

Description

The Korda Baiting Needles range provides a versatile selection of tools designed to meet various angling needs, from fine hair rigs to splicing and stringer applications. These needles are constructed from hardened steel for strength and durability, ensuring they withstand frequent bank-side use. Smooth tips help reduce bait tearing and maintain bait integrity, while ergonomic, high-visibility handles in various colours help prevent loss and offer a comfortable grip, even in cold or wet conditions. The comprehensive range aims to help anglers rig faster, neater, and with less waste. Key features of the Korda Baiting Needles include: - Hardened steel construction for durability - Smooth tips to prevent bait damage - High-visibility, colour-coded handles for easy identification and to prevent loss - Ergonomic handle design for comfortable and controlled use - Available in multiple lengths and diameters to suit different bait sizes - Some models include protective caps or sheaths for safe storage The Korda range encompasses several specialised baiting needles to match specific tasks and hook link materials: - **Braided Hair Needle (Yellow Handle)**: Designed for use with braided hook link materials, it features a crook design that allows a hair loop to be pulled through bait without snagging the braid fibres. - **Super Fine Braid Needle (Blue Handle)**: This needle is ideal for delicate baits that might be damaged by wider needles, such as small pop-ups and tiger nuts. It has a strong, round profile with a tapered point for easier penetration and a recessed barb to secure the hair loop, suitable for both mono and braid. - **Latch Needle Heavy (Green Handle)**: A heavy-duty option for use with monofilament or fluorocarbon materials. - **Latch Needle Fine (Purple Handle)**: This 7cm needle is suitable for softer baits, including particles like sweetcorn, creating a minimal hole. It features a latch to hold the hair in place while pulling it through the bait. - **Heavy Latch Stik Needle (12cm)**: Part of the wider range, this longer needle caters to specific baiting requirements. - **Hollow Needles**: Specifically designed for splicing braid and creating tidy loops for leaders or tie-ins.
