Kodex Ready Tied Chod Rigs
The shortest, the neatest, the sharpest and the cheapest: Kodex’s ready-tied Chod Rigs really are something special
Kodex, one of CARPology’s best buds when it comes to quality, reliability and value for money, has just extended its portfolio for offering reliable, user-friendly and ready-to-go products with a range of stunningly tied Chod Rigs which are available in both ‘Short’ and ‘Long’ versions.
This new collection consists of three key areas: the first is they come tied entirely from the brand’s anti-glare components; the second is they feature a unique loop knot to increase movement; and thirdly, the ‘Short’ version is the shortest ready-tied Chod Rig currently on the market.
At the heart of any good Choddie is the curve and Kodex has used its own Shape-Shifter hooklink to create a perfect sweeping curve which is attached to a size 11 Total-Flexi Swivel via a unique 4mm loop to allow for additional movement to help improve the already excellent rig mechanics of the Chod Rig. Hooks are Kodex’s own insanely sharp Genomic MGP Anti-Glare 130-Carbon micro barb Chod Hooks, and each hook size is matched to the correct breaking strain of the Shape-Shifter to ensure the rig sits critically balanced. And to give you another example of the level of precision they’ve taken with these rigs, even the ‘D’ has been tied and curved to be offset to ensure the very best presentation and stands-off at a perfect 2.5mm height.
Whilst the ‘Long’ measures a standard two-inches, the ‘Short’ version – just a mere one-inch long – provides all the advantages of its regular length Choddy sibling but offers a lower, more discreet presentation with the hookbait positioned closer to the lakebed. This makes them ideal for fishing over gravel, sand and shallow deposits of silt and weed, whilst still providing the deadly effective hooking arrangement of the perfectly curved, classic Chod Rig.
The Kodex Chod Rigs are available in sizes 3, 5 and 7 with the 3 and 5’s tied to 20lb Shape-Shifter and the 7 to 15lb. Each packet contains three identically tied rigs, with the attention to detail being spotless.
