TC reader Mike Francis from Hull says: I’ll be honest, when I sent my name in for these Reader Reviews I thought it unlikely that I’d receive anything decent, but when this Krusha was delivered, complete with a note from the editor, I was delighted. I’d wanted one for some time but at nearly 15 quid I felt it too expensive. “Result,” I thought. There’s not much to really say about the Krusha itself.

I owned one of the original Rig Safes but found it a bit bulky. However, Korda’s newer versions are spot-on. One of these is the Mini Rig Safe Combo and I can’t wait to fill this one with a few rigs of my own. We love this! The smaller size, compared with the bigger Rig Safe, which has also been redesigned, is ideal for storing shorter rigs, up to eight inches, and will hold 30 at a time.

CHECK these OUT! INTERCEPTOR FLOATS Surface floats are by no means a new invention and the missile shape has always been regarded as one of the best floats for casting and providing that super-effective bolt effect. What we like about the new range from Korda are the little touches that make your life easier. Designed to be changed in a matter of seconds you can flit from the smallest of the bunch at 5g right the way through the sizes up until the 80g, so no matter how far the fish move out you can keep a hook bait close to them. A size 11 ring swivel fits perfectly into the nose of the float helping to eradicate tangles when you are casting out, particularly handy when using long hooklengths.

We have all used quick-change swivels of some variety and to great effect, being handy to change rigs in no time at all. However, taking it one step further, the team at Korda has developed the same principle with a crook rather than the conventional elongated eye. Now this may not seem like much, and by no means think we are trying to blow it out of proportion. However, this helps you fish hook links straight off the swivel quickly and with much more movement.
