Korda Chod It Tool: Precision Engineering for the Perfect Rig

Ask any top-flight carp angler and they will tell you: the secret to the Chod rig isnt just the components; its the shape. At Gerrys Fishing, we know that creating that perfect D or the subtle curve of a stiff link can be a fiddly nightmare without the right equipment. Enter the Korda Chod It Tool. This isnt just a piece of tackle; its a beautifully sculpted piece of anodized aluminum designed to take the guesswork out of rig construction and give you the professional edge.

The Chod It Tool is a multi-functional masterpiece. Its tapered design and specific features allow you to manipulate stiff materials like Mouthtrap with surgical precision. Whether you are tensioning knots, shaping D-loops, or rounding off loops for a swivel, this tool provides the ergonomic grip and specialized surfaces needed to ensure your rigs are consistent every single time. If youre serious about your presentation, this tool is the difference between a rig that might work and one that is guaranteed to pin a carp to the floor.

Detailed Specifications

How to Master the Korda Chod It Tool

• The Tapered Point: This is your best friend for creating the perfect D on a D-rig. By sliding your loop over the point, you can tease the material into a perfectly symmetrical shape without kinking or damaging the line.

• The Mushroom Cap: This wide, flat end is specifically designed for tensioning. Simply hook your swivel over the cap and pull. It provides a secure anchor point, allowing you to tighten your knots to the max without the swivel digging into your hands.

• The Loop Recess: Located at the base of the tapered section, this recess helps you form consistent, round loops for your hook-to-swivel connections. It ensures that every rig in your box is identical in length and movement.

• Graduated Diameters: Because the entire tool tapers, you can use different sections of the body to create loops of varying sizes. This is ideal for customizing the kick on your stiff rigs depending on the size of the hook or bait you are using.

Pro Tip from the Gerrys Team

The Steam and Shape Combo: To get that iconic aggressive curve on your Chod rigs, use the Chod It Tool in tandem with a kettle. After youve tied your rig and shaped the D on the tapered point, hold the rig (carefully!) over the steam. Use the curved body of the tool to set the memory of the Mouthtrap. Once it cools against the aluminum, that curve is locked in and wont flatten out, even during a long-range cast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this tool damage my line?

Not at all. The anodized aluminum is finished to an incredibly high standard, ensuring there are no burrs or sharp edges. It is designed to glide against stiff materials like fluorocarbon without causing friction burns or nicks that could weaken the rig.

Is it only for Korda products?

While it was designed with Kordas Mouthtrap and rig components in mind, the Chod It Tool is a universal rig-puller. It works perfectly with any high-memory stiff link material or heavy fluorocarbon from any brand.

Why use aluminum instead of plastic?

Durability and weight. Plastic tools can flex or snap when you are putting 20lb+ of pressure on a swivel knot. The solid aluminum construction of the Chod It Tool offers zero flex, giving you a much more stable platform for tensioning rigs safely.

How do I clean the tool if it gets muddy?

A simple wipe with a damp cloth is all it needs. The anodized coating is highly resistant to corrosion, so it wont rust or degrade even if it gets wet during a rainy session on the bank.
