Korda Zig Magnet

The Korda Zig Magnet is the practical and innovative solution for easily managing long hook links when zig fishing, eliminating the risk of tangles or damage to the hook point before casting.
Simple to use, the device screws directly onto a bankstick and keeps your hook safely raised off the ground and away from obstacles until it's time to cast.

How it works:
The flat magnetic head locks the hook into its bright green surface. The holder is mounted on a ball joint , allowing you to adjust the angle to perfectly match your casting position. The hook automatically releases from the magnet when you cast, ensuring a smooth and unobstructed release.

Practical Tips for Making the Most of the Korda Zig Magnet

• Correct positioning: Screw the Zig Magnet onto a bankstick or support positioned slightly behind or to the side of the casting direction, to avoid obstacles and have free space for the terminal to move.

• Angle Adjustment: Use the ball joint to angle the magnetic head so the hook fits snugly and comes off easily when loading the cast.

• Pre-cast check: Before loading the cast, check that the hook link is perfectly stretched and has no twists or kinks.

• Using very long zigs: For zigs over 3 metres , position the Zig Magnet further away from the pod, to ensure the hooklink is fully suspended and does not touch the ground.

• Wind Conditions: In strong winds, you can slightly lower the tilt angle to increase the stability of the hook on the magnetic surface before casting.

Does the Zig Magnet only work for zig fishing?
Yes, it is specifically designed to handle long leaders used in zig fishing, where the risk of tangles or damage to the hook point is greater.

Which banksticks is it compatible with?
The Zig Magnet has a standard thread , so it is compatible with most banksticks and carp fishing supports on the market.

Can it hold hooks of all sizes?
Yes, the flat magnetic surface easily holds any size zig hook, from the smallest to the strongest, ensuring a good hold before casting.

How do I adjust the tilt?
The head of the Zig Magnet is mounted on a ball joint , which allows the magnet to be oriented at the desired angle, based on the position of the bankstick and the direction of casting.

Can the Zig Magnet be used with rigs over 3 metres long?
Absolutely yes. For very long rigs, simply position the Zig Magnet further away from the rod pod or main pod to ensure the rig stays raised and free of contact with the ground.
