MELTZ CONTINUOUS P.V.A.
KX-i CARP ROD
RRP: 3.5lb £475, shop around £400, and 3.25lb £450, shop around £390
RRP: £11.99 per 6m tube (with free rammer)
NEW ZEPTO-X CARBON TECHNOLOGY
Pushing the boundaries of rod design and manufacturing has led to the development of the world’s best ever carp rod. Using Zepto-X carbon technology, KX-i rods are constructed from 55-tonne airforce-grade, high-modular carbon mesh. The result is a rod that has much more power in the spine and no twist, which allows you to cast immense distances with unrivalled accuracy. Unlike many ‘chucking’ rods currently on the market, the rod’s casting ability doesn’t come at the expense of its fish-playing capabilities, and the tip action will subdue fish to the net without the risk of hook-pulls.
Meltz Continuous is now even faster dissolving, with tighter-knit mesh that grips the loading tube even better. Developed and tested for over 12 months, it leaves virtually zero residue. It has a fast melt-down time of around 60 seconds, and the mesh is fine micro, smooth to the touch and anti-ladder. Supplied with 6 metres of PVA and a sturdy rammer. Available in narrow 20mm or wide 40mm diameters.
KEY FEATURES
● Zepto-X carbon technology ● Original Fuji fittings ● Ultra-light TG16 matte black guides ● 50mm butt guide ● Anti-frap tip guide ● Super-slim blank ● Anti-slip shrink-wrap compound taper butt-end to assist hand-grip and casting ● Machine-engraved butt cap
KONNECT LANDING HANDLE RRP: £45, shop around £35
A versatile 1.8m two-piece handle supplied with a 0.5m ‘Zig-Master’ extension to make landing fish on long hooklinks easier. It has a strong carbonex construction, yet remains slim, with just a 12.5mm diameter at the thread end. It also features compound taper spigot firm lock joints, and packs down to 40ins for ease of transport.
SP20 UNHOOKING MAT RRP: £39.99, shop around £28
Designed for static and roving anglers, this versatile mat is ideal for double-figure carp, pike and barbel, as well as big tench and bream. The spacious unhooking area measures 77 x 49cm and is well padded. The sling also doubles up as a weigh sling and can be used as a carry bag when staying mobile and travelling light. Further features include a pocket suitable for storing a bottle of anti-bacterial solution. Overall compact size.
IDEAL FOR ROVING ANGLERS
ULTIMATE ADVANCED MICRO-STRIP COATED HOOKLINK POP-UP RIG RRP: £6.99
A weed-green, semi-stiff, coated hooklink that can easily be stripped to reveal a low-diameter, flexible dyno-core. Micro-Strip has a matte finish and a pliable outer coating that doesn’t crack when knotted. It sinks quickly and pins itself to the contours of the lakebed, for excellent presentation of bottom or pop-up set-ups. This is the same hooklink material as found on Kodex’s new ready-tied, skin-coated stiff rigs and multi-rigs. Available in 15lb and 25lb breaking strains and supplied on 20m spools.
SKIN-COATED STIFF RIGS RRP: £2.99 Using a Micro-Strip weed-green coated hooklink material, these rigs incorporate GenomicMGP wide-gape hooks. Each packet contains two rigs, both with a quick-change size 8 swivel. This can be swapped with the supplied size 11 Flexi/Heli swivel for either lead-clip or helicopter set-ups.
BOTTOM/POP-UP ANTI-TANGLE BRAID RIGS RRP: £2.35 These 14.5cm supple braid rigs are suitable for bottom baits or pop-ups. The hooks are made from Japanese 130-grade carbon to ensure strength and durability. Hair lengths are matched to hook sizes, allowing bigger baits to be used on bigger hooks, and the rigs feature adjustable hair position.
FLUOROCARBON STIFF RIGS RRP: £2.59
KARPULT CATY’S
These fluoro stiff rigs feature GenomicMGP anti-glare hooks, with micro-ground super-sharp points, tied to 15lb fluorocarbon line with a special knotless knot to stand off the hair in the optimum position. This combination offers excellent concealment from wary carp.
RRP: £8.99
Karpults are robust catys designed with the punishment carp fishing can inflict in mind. The camouflaged finish frames are made from a glass-fibre filled resin polymer that makes the tensile strength stronger than alloy. The handle is ergonomically designed for comfort and grip. The latex is adjoined to the frame with ‘slugs’ that stop latex twist and tangles. Both pouches are made from special nylon-reinforced material, with particular attention given to the sewing and eyelets to stop them breaking open. They are accurate and precise and will fire huge distances. Available in boilie pouch and particle pouch versions.
PVA BAG/STIKK QUICK CHANGE RIGS RRP: £2.35 At 3.5ins long, these quick-change rigs are ideal for use inside solid PVA bags or pulling through mesh bags and sticks. The position of the hair can be adjusted via a silicone sleeve on the hookshank, and the weed-green, anti-tangle sleeve ensures your set-up is pushed away from the lead. Two rigs per packet.
MULTI-RIGS RRP: £3.49 The Multi-Rig offers versatility like no other. Each pack comes with two hook sizes that can be easily interchanged. Choose from a packet with sizes 3 & 5, or 5 & 7. They’re tied to 15lb Micro-Strip which sinks quickly. Also included is bait floss, a micro rig swivel and a heli swivel.

CATCH CARP THE INTELLIGENT WAY Ground-breaking technology has seen Kodex take carp product development to the next level... KX-i CARP ROD
RRP: 3.5lb £475, shop around £400, and 3.25lb £450, shop around £390
NEW ZEPTO-X CARBON TECHNOLOGY
Pushing the boundaries of rod design and manufacturing has led to the development of the world’s best ever carp rod. Using Zepto-X carbon technology, KX-i rods are constructed from 55-tonne airforce-grade, high-modular carbon mesh. The result is a rod that has much more power in the spine and no twist, which allows you to cast immense distances with unrivalled accuracy. Unlike many ‘chucking’ rods currently on the market, the rod’s casting ability doesn’t come at the expense of its fish-playing capabilities, and the tip action will subdue fish to the net without the risk of hook-pulls.
KEY FEATURES
l Zepto-X carbon technology l Original Fuji fittings l Ultra-light TG16 matte black guides l 50mm butt guide l Anti-frap tip guide l Super-slim blank l Anti-slip shrink-wrap compound taper butt-end to assist hand-grip and casting l Machine-engraved butt cap
KONNECT LANDING HANDLE
SP20 UNHOOKING MAT
A versatile 1.8m two-piece handle supplied with a 0.5m ‘Zig-Master’ extension to make landing fish on long hooklinks easier. It has a strong carbonex construction, yet remains slim, with just a 12.5mm diameter at the thread end. It also features compound taper spigot firm lock joints, and packs down to 40ins for ease of transport.
Designed for static and roving anglers, this versatile mat is ideal for double-figure carp, pike and barbel, as well as big tench and bream. The spacious unhooking area measures 77 x 49cm and is well padded. The sling also doubles up as a weigh sling and can be used as a carry bag when staying mobile and travelling light. Further features include a pocket suitable for storing a bottle of anti-bacterial solution. Overall compact size.

IDEAL FOR ROVING ANGLERS
WHAT GEAR 2017 SHAPE-SHIFTER CHOD/STIFF RIG-LINE RRP: £4.99
Shape-Shifter can be formed into a perfect curve for Chod rigs, or it can easily be straightened for stiff-rig set-ups. It has been specially made by Kodex to retain these shape-shifting characteristics, for your ease of forming perfect rigs. It is also very abrasion-resistant, retains high knot strength and is virtually invisible underwater. As used on the award-winning Kodex Chod ready rigs. Available in a 15lb (7kg) breaking strain, or 20lb (9kg) breaking strain - with diameters of 0.40mm and 0.45mm respectively - Shape-Shifter is the most pliable and versatile rig-line you’ll find. Supplied on 20m spools for ease of storage.
MELTZ CONTINUOUS P.V.A. RRP: £11.99 per 6m tube (with free rammer)
Meltz Continuous is now even faster dissolving, with tighter-knit mesh that grips the loading tube even better. Developed and tested for over 12 months, it leaves virtually zero residue. It has a fast melt-down time of around 60 seconds, and the mesh is fine micro, smooth to the touch and anti-ladder. Supplied with 6 metres of PVA and a sturdy rammer. Available in narrow 20mm or wide 40mm diameters.
ULTIMATE ADVANCED MICRO-STRIP COATED HOOKLINK POP-UP RIG RRP: £6.99
SKIN-COATED STIFF RIGS RRP: £2.99 Using a Micro-Strip weed-green coated hooklink material, these rigs incorporate GenomicMGP wide-gape hooks. Each packet contains two rigs, both with a quick-change size 8 swivel. This can be swapped with the supplied size 11 Flexi/Heli swivel for either lead-clip or helicopter set-ups.
BOTTOM/POP-UP ANTI-TANGLE BRAID RIGS RRP: £2.35 These 14.5cm supple braid rigs are suitable for bottom baits or pop-ups. The hooks are made from Japanese 130-grade carbon to ensure strength and durability. Hair lengths are matched to hook sizes, allowing bigger baits to be used on bigger hooks, and the rigs feature adjustable hair position.
FLUOROCARBON STIFF RIGS RRP: £2.59 These fluoro stiff rigs feature GenomicMGP anti-glare hooks, with micro-ground super-sharp points, tied to 15lb fluorocarbon line with a special knotless knot to stand off the hair in the optimum position. This combination offers excellent concealment from wary carp.
PVA BAG/STIKK QUICK CHANGE RIGS RRP: £2.35 At 3.5ins long, these quick-change rigs are ideal for use inside solid PVA bags or pulling through mesh bags and sticks. The position of the hair can be adjusted via a silicone sleeve on the hookshank, and the weed-green, anti-tangle sleeve ensures your set-up is pushed away from the lead. Two rigs per packet.
MULTI-RIGS RRP: £3.49 The Multi-Rig offers versatility like no other. Each pack comes with two hook sizes that can be easily interchanged. Choose from a packet with sizes 3 & 5, or 5 & 7. They’re tied to 15lb Micro-Strip which sinks quickly. Also included is bait floss, a micro rig swivel and a heli swivel.
A weed-green, semi-stiff, coated hooklink that can easily be stripped to reveal a low-diameter, flexible dyno-core. Micro-Strip has a matte finish and a pliable outer coating that doesn’t crack when knotted. It sinks quickly and pins itself to the contours of the lakebed, for excellent presentation of bottom or pop-up set-ups. This is the same hooklink material as found on Kodex’s new ready-tied, skin-coated stiff rigs and multi-rigs. Available in 15lb and 25lb breaking strains and supplied on 20m spools.
KARPULT CATY’S RRP: £8.99
Karpults are robust catys designed with the punishment carp fishing can inflict in mind. The camouflaged finish frames are made from a glass-fibre filled resin polymer that makes the tensile strength stronger than alloy. The handle is ergonomically designed for comfort and grip. The latex is adjoined to the frame with ‘slugs’ that stop latex twist and tangles. Both pouches are made from special nylon-reinforced material, with particular attention given to the sewing and eyelets to stop them breaking open. They are accurate and precise and will fire huge distances. Available in boilie pouch and particle pouch versions.
