carprobert Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Hello everybody! i just wonder if you use kwik link on you carp tackle, persenoly i donte like them because the hook link vill snap off much easy because you use a loop knot, especially FC matrial. here is a kwik link if you donte now what it is.

whitt Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 never had any problem using quick links Quote
andrewtrace Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Always use with pva sticks , cant fault them as never had one go yet Quote
pezza Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 I always use them mate and never had a single problem with them. Quote
carprobert Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Posted January 8, 2007 Donte you ever had a problem even if you use Floro matrial? I have....but only whit the FC thay are very nice becouse you cant switch tackler fast! Quote
martinrodd Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 never had no probs m8 they have more pluses than minuses i think korda have a new version out which was advertised in carpworld which looked very good Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 I use them, never had a problem. They're ideal for quick rig set up changes. Quote
louis84 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 only recently jumped on the kwik link bandwagon myself and i must say i am most impressed. why wasnt this thought of years ago??? wait.......i bet it was..... then WHY DID NOONE TELL ME! haha Quote
tonybranno Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 I also have no problems using kwik links and ive caught carp to over 20 pounds using them. If you are having hooklinks snapping then make sure you use a figure of eight knot on the loop instead of a normal overhand knot. Quote
kevtaylor Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 I use them - and like the new versions as well, will be getting some. Never had problems with hooklinks snapping, even with florocarbon and simple overhand loop knots. Maybe your not lubricating the knot enough before tightening, and therefore weakening the hooklink? Only ever had a hooklink break once and that was because the carp bit through 25lb coated braid. Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 only recently jumped on the kwik link bandwagon myself and i must say i am most impressed. why wasnt this thought of years ago??? wait.......i bet it was..... then WHY DID NOONE TELL ME! haha Cos I was keeping the Breakaway SpinLinks and Leadlinks to myself. Wish I had patented the idea! Quote
carprobert Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Posted January 9, 2007 ohhh i find a product ¨who is for kiwik link....i will knot my hooklink on an loop link. Palomar Knot. the knot is much stronger then a loop knot. I realy fink thay are great! what do you think? whant to se pic. on the loop link? copy this and you will find it if you klick on swevels pic. http://www.korda.co.uk/systems/systems.html Quote
zammmo Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Always use them without any prob,s,at the moment I am trying the Carp Alley speed clips...So far I like them... I use the Perfection knot to tie them on Quote
courtz Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 I think the fox kwik change swivels are great, keep the rig a bit tidier IMO come in a version without the ring on the swivel aswell (ring ones for use on helicopter rigs), pack of ten with silicon sleeves £2.20 Quote
louis84 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 yeah i use the fox ones as well. sleeves fit well and keep everything crisssssp. ttsssss there strong too! i snapped my gardner bait needle in it. but to be honest i blame the crappy needle. had to use my own finger as a bait needle but they just kept crumbling to pieces Quote
carpio_rom Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 When I'm using the stick method I always use the kwik link and never had any problem with it.I use the Korda 1s. Anyway they've made a big diferece to my fishing. Quote
afisherman2 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 HI just joined just to let you know been using kiwik links for years and also use florocarbon and have had no problems I just ues a hand over knot and a small peice of shrink tube over knot the glue in the tube secures knot Hope this helps Quote
alun Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 brilliant bit of kit used them since they first came out use with a double overhand loop knot and thread rig through korda tail rubber clip rig on and slide tail rubber over clip excellant anti tangle rig never had any probs with this one Quote
martinrodd Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 check out the new korda q-links they are very good Quote
sarniesam Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 i use the fox predator ones, never had a problem with them, good for stick work. Quote
pte1643 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 No problems here either. But I never tie them direct to my line. I always have a swivel at the end of both my mainline and Hooklink, so the "Kwik Link" is connected either end by swivel eye. Quote
