Korum boss John Walsh and chief consultant Ian Welch show off the exciting new Korum range for 2006

Korum, part of the Preston Innovations group, have put a lot of thought into their position in the tackle market, which lies somewhere between pleasure angler and specialist angler. Korum caters for the guy who occasionally fishes for bites and sometimes fishes for the biggest specimens. A Korum angler could be said to be today’s modern pleasure angler.

Korum also have another phrase associated with them that you’ll see on their advert on this website – ‘Fishing Made Easy’. And that is exactly what they are aiming for; to make fishing as easy as it possibly can be where the tackle you use is concerned.


Korum’s new Day Session Shelter is sure to be a winner

The first products to come from Korum were mainly those little but so important items such as Hook Hairs with Quickstops, Hair Rigs with Bait Screw, and other innovative little products that made the business end of your tackle much easier to use.

Now Korum have developed this idea of ‘fishing made easy’ into some bigger product, which they revealed for the first time a few weeks ago. Products such as the Neoteric range of rods, which includes a twin Tip 12ft Quiver that can cope with lines from 4lb to 12lb, a 12ft Twin Top that can use lines from 6lb to 15lb, and a 12ft Float rod that has a line rating of 4lb to 10lb. They retail from £ 110.00 to £ 120.00.

The best shelter for the short stay angler I’ve seen for some time is the new Korum Day Session Shelter, which is a lightweight, easy to erect, easy to carry alternative to the umbrella. It offers more all round cover than a brolly yet covers hardly any more area. It is more sturdy and stable in the wind than a brolly and can’t turn inside out. What’s more, with the top panel rolled back it makes a great windshield for those dry but nippy days when the wind is chilly. The poles are aluminium and the heavy duty nylon cover with taped seams is 100% waterproof. It comes supplied with two frame support bars, one back pole and seven heavy duty ground pegs in their own fitted carry bag. At £ 64.99 the cost is little different than a decent 50 inch umbrella.


The Korum Accessory Chair – with wheels!

The Korum Accessory Chair has rapidly become one of the best-selling chairs on the market, and now it becomes easier to transport along the bank. The Accessory Chair’s latest accessory is a set of wheels! The new Trolley Wheel Kit transforms the chair into a sturdy, load carrying barrow. The kit consists of two wheels, a handle bar and a shoulder strap to take the weight of the load across the shoulders. It is also supplied with two short bars that replace the normal legs, giving extra ground clearance if required. Load it correctly and the bulk of the load is directly over the wheels and over the centre of balance, making it very easy to use. The Trolley Wheel Kit costs £ 44.99 and set of Bungee elastics are £ 4.99.

More accessories for the chair include a Telescopic Feeder Arm, a Telescopic Tripod Feeder Arm, and a Twin Rod Buzz Bar.

Korum have also introduced a Thermal Suit which consists of a
