Korda Combi Multi Kickers

More than just a piece of rubber on your combi rig hook section

Up until now, Darrell had always used a piece of shrink tube to hold the hook, D-rig and hookbait in the desired position, which he fishes line aligner style – meaning that the braided hook link exits out of the side of the tubing rather than the end of it.

But now these Combi-Multi Kickers have been designed specifically for this rig and are just the right length – with two sizes available depending on the hook size you choose to use – and also just as importantly, the right angle as well, and you’ll notice they are far less aggressive than the standard Korda Kickers.

The main reason for this is that they are designed to fish line aligner style rather than just being threaded onto the braided section of your rig. This is easily achieved by using a heavier baiting needle, like the Korda yellow handled one, to make a small hole in the side of the Combi-Multi Kicker (the slightly thinner end that is nearest to the Albright knot.

Then simply use a splicing needle to enter at the fatter end of the kicker (the end that pushes over the eye of the hook) and push it out through the pilot hole that you’ve made, then use the splicing needle to pull the braid loop back through it. Then simply add your hook by threading it onto the braided loop, plus your choice of hookbait already attached to a micro ring swivel or similar, and pass the loop over the hook point to secure it multi rig style.

How well do Combi-Multi Kickers grip your hook shank and eye?

This whole rig relies on the kicker to hold everything in the right place so that the mechanics of it can work and lead to a hooked carp.

This means that it is vital that the kicker stays in place, in exactly the same way that a piece of shrink tubing would do (which is much more hassle to change and involves steaming it), and these Combi-Multi Kickers have been designed to do just that thanks to the rubber used and the way they are constructed.
