Getting new anglers into the sport is something we’re hugely passionate about. We’ve enlisted I Fishing Ambassador Nigel Botherway to give you the low down on the new Club Korum Starter Kits, which are designed to make getting into fishing so much easier.

Club Korum starter kits reflect our ongoing mission through the I Fishing campaign. They provide a fantastic option for anglers that are new to the sport.

It’s ‘Fishing Made Easy’, and the new Elements fishing kits help provide a first easy step for would-be anglers.

Club Korum tackle will enable more anglers to get into fishing, removing

some of the doubt and confusion about what tackle is best to get them started.

By creating ready-to-go fishing sets, complete with all the tackle they need for an enjoyable day’s float fishing, feeder fishing or pole fishing, the choice is now incredibly easy.

“Club Korum itself is much more than just tackle.”

Club Korum itself is much more than just tackle. For anglers joining the Club online there will be numerous benefits. With a dedicated website that will feature access to exclusive fishery guides, rig tips, videos, articles and advice from some of the best anglers in the business.

It’s the basic advice that can’t be found anywhere else. With a range of events at fisheries and some local projects that will take angling into schools and generate more interest amongst youngsters in the best way possible.

By providing a range of starter kits that come complete with a How To Fish DVD featuring myself and Tommy Pickering, a How To Fish booklet that anglers can take to the bank with them and all the tackle they need to suit that particular style of fishing, we hope to hook anglers for life. I joined former World Champion Tommy Pickering at Woodland View Fishery to show you just how good these fantastic starter kits are.

■■ Check out the Club Korum website online at www.clubkorum.co.uk

“Complete with a How To Fish DVD featuring myself and Tommy Pickering” There are three kits in the Club Korum range. These include a Float Fishing Kit, Feeder Fishing Kit and finally a Pole Fishing kit, all containing everything you or someone you know could need to become a fisherman. After purchasing your chosen kit from the tackle shop you’ll be itching to get home or on the bank to get the eye-catching box opened and have a go with your new rod or pole.

■■ Using the pole at its full length is no problem. It’s a pole to last you seasons .

8 KORUM CONSUMER GUIDE 2012

The Float Fishing Kit is the first kit that Tommy and I had a look at. In this Kit you

www.facebook.com/korum.angling

will find an Elements 10ft Float rod, made from Carbon Fibre this super light rod is capable of landing anything from small and delicate roach to a big, hard fighting carp. The 3000 Rear Drag reel is preloaded with 6lb line. It has a superb drag and a huge amount of winding power to make sure you land the biggest of fish.

Tommy Pickering told me the following: “This rod and reel setup is great. It’s just what a budding angler needs to get going. I remember when I first got into fishing; my first rod was a tank aerial. There is also a great selection of floats, shot and hooks that will allow you to have a brilliant day’s fishing,” explained Tommy.

■■ All the tackle you need

The DVD and How To Fish booklet in the kit will have you or someone you know fishing in minutes. It only takes one fish to be hooked!

The great this about going fishing is that whether you are old or young, a complete novice or world champion like Tommy, the fish can’t tell. Your next bite could be from a small scale-perfect roach, a tench, or even a big hard fighting carp. I just love float fishing, as does Tommy.

“I do yes; watching a float sail under the water and the moment that a fish is hooked will always give you the same adrenalin rush, whether you have been fishing for three days or 50 years.”

The Feeder Kit contains a 10ft Elements Feeder Rod; made from carbon fibre and with a brightly coloured tip to show up your bites. Also in the kit is a 3000 Reel loaded with 6lb line. The reel has stacks of winding power and is the ideal reel to start you off when feeder fishing. Also included in the kit are all of the rig bits and a selection of different feeders to set up an effective feeder rig.

“Feeder fishing is my favourite style of fishing,” Tommy told me. “I always get a rush of adrenalin when I watch the tip of my rod pull round when I get a bite. Make sure you are watching the tip of your rod closely to make sure you don’t miss any bites or even get your rod pulled in!”

The final pack that we have here is the Pole Fishing Kit. The 7m Elements pole comes all ready to go. The Put-Over pole has different sections to help you reach where you want to fish. Unlike a rod the pole has elastic running through the top section. This provides a cushion for the fish when it is hooked, much like the drag on a reel. Tommy is an expert with a pole and loves this kit.

“Pole Fishing is fantastic, watching your float dip under, striking and seeing the elastic stretching out of the end. The Pole kit comes with a variety of different pole rigs, plummets and even CAD Pots.”

Make sure you watch the DVD supplied with the pack and read through the How To Fish booklet. This will give you loads of hints and tip on how to enjoy yourself when fishing and more importantly – catch more fish!

■■11ft Float This short float rod is perfect for the increasingly popular commercial method of pellet waggler fishing. The fine through action is forgiving enough to absorb any sudden lunges at the net, whilst also having enough power to cope with hard fighting larger carp. The two piece set up makes it ideal for storing ready made up, so that you can be fishing in seconds. Suitable for floats up to 8 grams, and lines between 3lb – 8lb. An ideal all-round float rod.

12ft Float

■■ 13ft Float

12ft two piece float rods were the start of the float fishing revolution that has dominated commercial fishing in recent years. The versatile length is ideal for a multitude of different situations. Featuring a crisp through action that offers enjoyable sport with smaller fish, yet powerful enough to subdue larger specimens.

Equally at home on rivers with either stick floats or wagglers. Suitable for floats up to 10 grams, and lines between 3lb – 8lb.

12 KORUM CONSUMER GUIDE 2012

The more traditional set up of a three piece 13ft float rod is ideal for practically any float fishing situation. Perfect for both lakes and rivers, with wagglers or stick floats. The crisp, forgiving tip gently transfers power through to the butt when larger species are hooked. This makes a brilliant pellet waggler rod on commercial venues, where casting big floats a long way is often required. Suitable for floats to 12 grams, and lines between 3lb – 6lb.

SHORT

SESSION TACTICS You can’t beat float fishing. I love spending short sessions after work watching a float twitch amongst a sea of bubbles and it’s helped me catch some really nice fish of all species.

■■ Moving swims in an instant is made easy with the Korum Roving Kit.

For these quick-fire trips, you only need the bare essentials, so I can keep a rod and a few bits and pieces in the boot of the car ready for when the mood takes me. On those balmy summer’s evenings, I can’t resist the temptation sometimes, so I’m always geared up for the occasion.

“the ITM Day Sack is one of my favourite items” It’s why the ITM Day Sack is one of my favourite items of Korum luggage.

This compact bag will house a Tackle Manager, bait tubs, catapults, floats, controllers and all the other items you might need for a short session. It’s easily carried on your back leaving your hands free to carry a Lightweight Chair, bait bag and your float rod.

I choose the Neoteric XS Power Float, because it’s a four piece rod that fits in my car boot easily. I can leave it in there at all times with a small float reel. It goes together quickly and has a lovely steely action that makes it great for hitting finicky roach and crucian bites, but it has plenty of power in the butt should I be chasing surface cruising carp or even big barbel on the river.

Something I highly recommend for float fishing is a pair of polaroid glasses, and the Korum brown and grey offerings are designed to suit different light conditions.

The light brown lenses are better in low light, whilst the grey is better for brighter days.

■■ Big fish can be landed in minutes, you don’t need to do long sessions.

They remove the glare from the water, which makes watching a float a lot easier. They should also help you spot fish in the water a lot easier too, so for me they’re an absolutely essential item of tackle.

“I choose the Neoteric XS Power Float”

26 KORUM CONSUMER GUIDE 2012

Whether it’s fishing an area of the canal near my home for a mixed bag of fish, sitting out in a boat for a monster tench on my syndicate lake or just stalking carp, the adrenalin rush as your waggler disappears with an angry fish on the end just can’t be beaten.

So when you’re thinking about how little time you’ve got to get out fishing this year, think about how short sessions

■■ A stunning carp caught with a Korum Surface Controller float. Simple!

Know Your Kit... could come to the rescue. Most day ticket fisheries offer reduced rates for evening trips and you can make the most of the longer days by unwinding after a hard day’s work with some great fishing.

What are you waiting for? Get that short session gear sorted, you’ll not regret it.

One super simple way to setup your rods is either with a Korum Float Adaptor on the line, or to use something like a Ready Heli-Kit with a Snap-Link Swivel.

Both of these setups are great when you’re using controller floats, pre-loaded pellet wagglers or floating Method feeders. My simply adjusting where the snap swivel sits on the line, you can alter the depth that you’re fishing your hookbait.

www.korum.co.uk/Dealers

Another great product for the short session float angler are the Rubber Braid Stops, which you can semi-fix smaller wagglers between. Again, this is totally adjustable and works especially well with pre-loaded wagglers.

Rather than using shot to secure the float, you use the Rubber Braid Stops, which will grip the line effectively and hold your float in place. Should you want to shallow up or go deeper, just move the stops up or down the line to suit.

Giants Sleeping

All-round coarse expert Phil Spinks reveals why fishing with a Sleeper Rod for bigger fish could make every trip to the bank a red letter day

â– â– This is just one of the fish caught during this feature...

SLEEPING

GIANTS Let’s talk about Sleeper Rods.

The best thing about coarse fishing in the UK is the wide variety of species that can be caught. Whilst you’re merrily float fishing in the margins, you could be missing out on a bonus fish from the middle of the lake. That was until bite alarms were invented, of course, where you can leave a rod out fishing and simply wait until the alarm screams into life.

As a technique waiting for bigger species like carp and pike, the ‘Sleeper Rod’ approach is the best way to make a good day’s fishing a great one. Not only can you continue fishing a more hands-on method like quiver-tipping or the waggler, you can have a heavy duty setup sat waiting for a potential new personal best.

In the summer, I’d recommend something like a Method feeder approach on your Sleeper Rod, or maybe something like a PVA bag using the Korum PVA System.

This will single out bigger tench and bream, as well as carp, so is well worth considering as a way of boosting your day’s fishing.

“I’d recommend a Method feeder approach” During the colder months the fishing can be extremely tricky. Part of the problem is knowing which species are most likely to feed, because only then can you figure out which approach to take to try and catch something. One surefire way to bag a few bonus bites in the

winter is to chuck a rod out for the pike or the perch. If perching, a worm is as good an approach as any, and with pike the Korum Snapper range makes things incredibly easy.

UK coarse fish and teamed with a KBI bite alarm, you’ll have a setup that you can cast out and leave ‘fishing for itself’ wherever you choose to fish.

“The Korum Snapper range makes things incredibly easy.”

I tend to keep a bite alarm on a bankstick for these occasions at all times, with another bankstick featuring a butt rest.

It really is an essential item to consider taking with you and will open your eyes to a new way of fishing.

Whether you’re a novice predator angler or an experienced hand, the Snapper range is simple and robust enough to suit everybody. The Dura-Bung float packs come with everything you need to assemble a decent pike rig, and the traces are tough enough to withstand the attentions from even the biggest fish.

Something like the Korum Carp rods and Korum KXi reel are strong enough for any

So rule out the Sleeper Rod at your peril.

It could be the way you take your fishing to the next level.

■■ I’ve landed some monster carp on ‘sleeper’ rod tactics.

If you want to attract big carp, bream and tench to your swim a great setup for your sleeper rod is of course a PVA bagging setup, where I’d recommend the Korum Leadclips used with a Quickchange Clip.

This is just like what dedicated carp anglers use, so it’s got obvious benefits.

www.korum.co.uk/Dealers

The Lead Clip Kit comes with everything you need, and again I’d use a ready-tied Quickstops on Hair Rigs but this time in 15 inches.

Simply hook on a PVA bag of something like a mixture of pellets and you’re fishing! Great for day session fishing when you’re trying to sneak out a bonus big fish.

■■LINK SWIVELS Perfect for quickly changing feeders or bombs.

■■LEAD CLIP KIT A bolt rig is where, on picking the hookbait up, the full weight of the lead is felt by the fish causing it to bolt off giving very positive bite indication. A lead clip provides the safest most efficient type of rig for bolt rigging. As the swivel is held in place by the pin, if the lead is snagged or caught in heavy weed it will eject to prevent the lead being attached to a broken rig. For variable tension on discharge alter the position of the sleeve on the ribbed lead clip.

Available in two sizes, large and small.

Use instead of shrink tube to produce rigs with increased hooking efficiency. Cut the tubing to your required length, thread on to your hookline and slide over the hook eye and knot. The tubes flexibility ensures that on the take the direct pull is to the hook eye, which leads to more fish hooked and better hookholds. Available in sizes, large and small.

RIVER

ESSENTIALS Britain is draped with a network of superb waterways and some of the best day ticket fishing you could ever dream of. But if you’re gearing up for a river session in 2012 then you might want to take a look at the tackle you’re using and consider a few updates to put you in the best position to catch more fish.

“It’s why I choose the ITM system” Now I’m a mobile angler myself and think that keeping your tackle as lightweight as possible is essential for success on the river – especially on busier stretches where many of the pegs nearest the car park get taken before the sun comes up!

To keep yourself organising and efficient, you’ll need the right gear for the task, and that’s where Korum tackle comes in.

■■ A Korum Lightweight Accessory Chair suits river banks perfectly.

It’s why I choose the Intelligent Tackle Management (ITM) system. Whether it’s the luggage I take with me or the tackle box I work from, the ITM mode of

thinking keeps me fishing at my best. It’s why I choose the ITM Table Top Ruckbag.

The original Ruckbag found favour with just about every mobile angler going, because of the unique carrying mechanism that allows you to carry a chair via the Ruckbag. This is so simple to do, and if you opt for the Lightweight Accessory Chair, it’s the perfect fit.

The great thing about the Ruckbag is it’s designed to be used with everything else in the ITM range, like the Rig Manager tackle boxes, Rig Tracks and Tool Kits, which for me are absolutely ideal for river fishing. The Rig Track allows me to tie longer rigs than most rig boxes because of the unique design, so it’s ideal for stretches of the Severn and Trent where a longer hooklink definitely works best.

■■ Big barbel like this are what you can expect with my simple river methods.

60 KORUM CONSUMER GUIDE 2012

www.facebook.com/korum.angling

Know Your Kit...

Much of my river fishing is done using large Korum open ended feeders, which I use to target big barbel in rivers all over the UK. Whether I’m on the tidal Trent or my favourite stretches of the Middle Severn, I’ve always found an open-end feeder crammed with pre-soaked pellets is a superb way to catch

I’d recommend taking a good selection of the new Korum Xpert hooks for your specimen fishing.

■■ A Maxi Rig Store enables you to keep long rigs pre-tied.

Obviously, within my TT Ruckbag I’ll be using the ITM Softboxes to carry a selection of Korum feeders. I tend to carry a few different sizes to suit the river flow each day I’m out, and the Softboxes are ideal for this. One way to cut down the weight of this is to use the new Combi-Feeders. The end caps convert the feeder from a standard openender, to a maggot feeder. You’ve no need to carry both varieties around.

My favourite way of fishing is called ‘The

more fish, or a Combi-Feeder filled with maggots.

My rig couldn’t be simpler. I use one of the new Korum free-flow run rig kits to attach my feeder.

My hooklink is attached to the swivel, with the anti-tangle boom used so I can cast out a 4ft - 6ft hooklink with the utmost confidence.

Monkey’ and involves using a soaked pellet mix that’s rammed tightly into an Open End Feeder. Beyond this I fish a long mono hooklink with a small Sonubaits Pellet-O hookbait – it’s perfect for getting bites from any swim.

Other river essentials include chair accessories like the Groundbait Bowl and Hoop, Side Tray, rod rests and the Double Rod River Tripod. These will slide inside the chair or in my Korum Quiver, which is my preferred rod transport system. I can keep a lightweight brolly in the main compartment for rainier days, and take two Neoteric XS rods and KXi Reels, made up and ready to use. I tend to take a float rod and feeder rod with me to the river, as different swims require different tactics. For me, the 13ft Neoteric Power Float is a great choice, along with a Neoteric Twin Tip. This pretty much covers most of my river fishing needs.

“take two Neoteric XS rods and KXi Reels” All I need then is a Latex Barbel Spoon net and an unhooking mat. I use the Korum Mat Bag, as I can carry the net

and a weigh sling inside it, along with a set of scales to keep track of my captures, of course.

“Perfect for roving around rivers and being as organised as possible” All in all, I’m carrying very little. I’ve got my Ruckbag and Chair on my back, a Mat Bag in one hand and a Quiver over my shoulder. Perfect for roving around rivers and being as organised as possible.

ACCURATE AS IT GETS

NEW ■■Boilie Rocket A completely new concept in bait delivery! The Boilie rocket’s clever design allows the angler to cast baits to a pin point target area, while not spilling or wasting any in the process. The deep finned rocket design flies very accurately and only opens the trap door on contact with the water surface, allowing 100% of the load to be instantly released in the exact targeted spot. The Boilie Rocket is suitable for boilies up to 15mm diameter, and all other dry particle baits like pellets. It also works brilliantly with maggots and casters.

BREAK YOUR

PB

If you’re anything like me, then you’re hoping that the next bite is a personal best. My fishing is incredibly varied, but I’m usually chasing fish of different species that dreams are made of.

This means that, at times, I have to spend quite a lot of time out on the bank doing what many would call ‘session fishing’. As I’m sure you can appreciate, this changes the way I think not only about my fishing, but the fishing tackle I take with me.

it’s also a table to work from. So when I’m tying new rigs and tinkering with different hookbaits, I’ve a useful platform to the side of me that’s also got all my gear inside. I’ll also take a Bait & Bits bag for spare baits and a bit of food for the trip, it’s ideal really.

You can’t beat the comfort offered by the Deluxe Accessory Chair for session fishing, and I’ll usually take the Cool Bag and Accessory Hoop attachment to help

“the Cool Bag and Accessory Hoop attachment to help keep my bait in tip top condition.” keep my bait in tip top condition. This keeps me organised and helps when reloading feeders for recasts.

For starters, you’ll want a decent shelter, and I don’t think you can beat either a Korum Fibreshield Umbrella or the stunning Multi Shelter or Day Session Shelter. There’s even an overwrap system for the Day Shelter, which gives maximum protection.

“the brilliant Table Top Carryall” Obviously, I’m by the bank side for a good length of time, so I want the ultimate piece of fishing luggage for longer sessions, which is, of course, the brilliant Table Top Carryall. Not only is this bag a great item of luggage in its own right,

■■ The Ready-Heli Kits are an ideal way to fish these short hooklengths.

Know Your Heli Kit...

I’ve always been an advocate of simple rigs and the one that serves me best for the majority of my feeder fishing is a super-effective Helicopter rig that can be tied up in seconds.

Whether I’m using a block-end feeder with maggots or a mesh feeder for groundbait, I like using a really short hooklink with the

feeder tied on Helicopter style. This is where the Korum Ready Heli-Kits with the Quick-change Swivel really come into their own.

The kit comes with two rubber line stops that are really grippy, with the quick-change swivel and small anti-tangle

I suppose I’m most well-known for the Helicopter Feeder setup I use the majority of the time, where the Ready-Heli Kits come into their own. I simply attach a short hooklink to the swivel and I can fish a totally tangle-free setup – perfect if I need to leave a rod out fishing for any period of time with confidence.

■■ Clipping up ensures I hit the same mark every time.

“Obviously, I’ll be using the KBI bite alarms ” Obviously, I’ll be using the KBI bite alarms Most of the time my session fishing is in pursuit of big silver fish like roach and rudd, though I’ll take a similar approach behind bite alarms for fish like bream, tench and carp too. In these scenarios, you can’t beat the versatility of the Korum Neoteric XS Twin Top rods, which are some of the best rod’s I’ve ever used.

The hollow 1.25lb or 1.5lb tips on the Twin Top rod provides a rod suitable for just about every coarse fish that swims, and suits my feeder approach brilliantly. I tend to keep three of these with KXi reels on in a Total Protection 3-Rod Holdall with my Shelter and Specimen Spoon

net, which loads onto my Single Wheel Barrow with all the rest of my tackle.

For me, though, this session approach is a great way of singling out more big fish.

Try the static feeder fishing approach and see how you get on, because I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

for this type of fishing, but you could watch two quiver tips if you prefered, set up on the XT Tripod Feeder Arm system with a Twin Rod Buzz Bar. That’s the great thing about the Korum ITM range, the chairs, and everything else in the 2012 range – it’s made for you, the angler, so you can fish how you want to.

THE

DURA METHOD

■■ The Dura-Methods have a central recess large enough to accommodate big baits like 15mm boilies.

■■ The Korum Accessory Chair keeps everything I need to hand for commercial fishery work.

Commercial day ticket fisheries provide some of the best coarse fishing around, but if you’re not quite geared up for this type of venue, it could cost you some extra fish.

Most of these stillwaters are booming with carp stocks, but don’t think you need to rush for the bivvy and bite alarms to get more bites. In fact, I’d recommend

some simple, modern feeder tactics as a way of not only having more fun, but also catching more carp.

“CS Series Feeder rods are ideal for this style of fishing ” The Korum CS Series Feeder rods are ideal for this style of fishing, where

you’re treating your Korum Accessory Chair very much like a match angler would treat their seatbox. It’s a fishing station, and treating your chair as such helps you become so much more organised.

I tend to use a Telescopic Feeder arm with a Butt Rest Arm on one side of the chair, with a Side Tray and Groundbait Bowl on the other legs. This leaves

space for all my bait tubs, a nice mix of groundbait for the feeder and somewhere to rest the rod whilst I watch the quiver tip.

I keep all my bait and tackle in an Allrounder Net Bag Carryall with a 3m Keepnet for venues where they’re allowed, which I transport around on the Twin-Wheeled Trolly with the rest of my kit. It keeps me nice and organised for feeder fishing trips on commercials and saves carrying lots of gear around.

At the rig end on my rods, things couldn’t be simpler. The Korum Quick-Change bead is the best attachment for the hooklink, and I tend to use a 4” long Quickstop Hair Rig, which you can buy ready-tied. Behind this, I’ll use a new Dura-Method; these clever new Method Feeders have an impact shield on the bottom stopping all of your bait coming off on the cast, and they will always sit the right way up, leaving your hookbait on top, ready for the fish to find.

Pellets or a Drilled Boilie will be perfect on the Quickstop Hair rig. If you want to make your Method feeder fishing different try using some dampened pellets instead of groundbait. I use the Sonubaits range, because it’s so diverse!

“I use the Sonubaits range, because it’s so diverse!”

Method feeder fishing couldn’t be simpler, and what I use is basically just a beefed up version of the type of

presentation match anglers use on these venues all the time.

Give it a try, because nothing beats the feel of a hard fighting fish on a feeder rod.

It’s my favourite way of tackling commercial fisheries and I’m sure, over time, it will become yours as well.

Good luck.

“you can’t beat the flatbed style Method feeders” An alternative setup is to use a Feeda Bead with a Korum Open End or Mesh Feeder, but if carp are the target you can’t beat the flatbed style Method feeders and the new Korum Dura-Method feeders are truly the best I’ve seen for this. They’re moulded from lead, so are totally indestructible. I tend to use a larger feeder when I’m expecting to wait a while for the tip to go round, but if it’s clear there are lots of fish present, I’ll use a smaller one to ensure I get bites quicker. The dedicated mould just makes things a lot easier - the perfect presentation every time.

A good Method mix is all you need on the feeder, and a couple of Soft Hooker
