Korda Shrink Tubing 1.6 mm
Perfect shrink mechanics for enhanced hooking efficiency
The Korda Shrink Tubing 1.6 mm represents an essential terminal tackle item developed to optimize modern hooklink configurations. This premium shrink tube is explicitly engineered to enhance the mechanical turning property of your hook. By sliding a small section over the hook eye and heating it briefly over boiling steam, the material shrinks reliably down to 50% of its original bore (1.6 mm). This creates a semi-rigid extension of the hook shank that forces the hook point to flip instantly into the bottom lip when a carp mouths your bait presentation.
Ultra-durable compound and premium subaquatic stealth
Molded from a resilient polymer, this tubing delivers the perfect balance between stiffness and flexibility once set. It will not split during heavy combat and safeguards vital knot connections from abrasive gravel, silt, or debris. Finished in Korda's signature matte Safe Zone coloration, the non-reflective surface absorbs ambient subaquatic light tones. This ensures the extension dissolves cleanly into natural lakebeds, keeping highly pressured, cautious fish entirely unsuspecting.
Excellent shrink ratio: Reduces to half its diameter under steam exposure to form a tight, flush sleeve over your knots.
Enhanced hook flip: Creates a sharp sweeping profile that maximizes hook hold ratios during the initial pick-up.
Line safeguarding: Covers the hook knot cleanly to prevent structural damage from underwater obstacles.
Stealth coating: Matte, low-profile finish designed to blend seamlessly with natural lakebed vegetation and silt.
