Korum Meat Screws Clear

Korum Meat Screws Clear

Welcome to Gerry’s Fishing! When you are targeting hard-fighting river barbel, chub, or commercial carp, luncheon meat and soft pastes are among the most devastating baits you can use. However, keeping soft baits securely attached to a traditional hair rig during a forceful cast or when small silverfish are picking at your bait can be incredibly frustrating. The Korum Meat Screws are an ingenious, purpose-built solution designed to hold soft baits firmly in place, ensuring your hookbait survives the cast and stays presented perfectly on the river or lake bed.

What makes this system a true game-changer is Korum’s clever “retro-fit” design. Featuring a specialized clip system at the top of the shank, these screws can be instantly attached to absolutely any existing hair rig or ready-tied rig without the need to tie a new knot or change your setup. The wide-bore thread is specifically engineered to bite deep into soft baits like cubed meat, paste, or bread crust, distributing the pressure so the bait doesn’t tear or pull free. Moulded in a completely clear plastic finish, they remain totally covert under the water, offering a highly discreet and effective presentation that won’t spook cautious specimen fish.

Detailed Specifications

• Product Type: Wide-bore bait screw for soft baits.

• Colour: Completely Clear (low-visibility presentation).

• Thread Profile: Wide, deep-gauge spiral thread designed to prevent soft baits from tearing.

• Attachment System: Integrated “Retro-Fit” wire clip system for instant hair rig mounting.

Examples of Where to Use

• River Barbel & Chub Fishing: The absolute ultimate tool for rolling or static-feeding luncheon meat on fast-flowing rivers like the Ribble or the Wye. The wide thread keeps the meat secure even when bouncing along a gravel river bed.

• Commercial Carp Margin Stalking: Perfect for presenting large cubes of meat or molded balls of paste in the margins during the summer. The clear construction ensures fish feeding in shallow, clear water won’t spot the rig components.

• Fast Bait Swapping: Ideal for sessions where you want to switch rapidly between hard pellets and soft meat. Instead of changing your entire hooklink, you can simply clip the meat screw onto your existing hair loop in seconds.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

Pro Tip: When using these screws with very soft or greasy luncheon meat, try giving your meat cubes a quick scald in boiling water or fry them slightly before your session to toughen up the outer skin. When you twist the Korum Meat Screw into the cube, it will bite into the meat and hold with an absolute vice-like grip that can easily withstand high-impact, long-distance casting!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Do I need a special type of loop or rig to use these screws?

A: No, not at all! That is the beauty of the retro-fit system. The tiny metal clip at the top of the screw is designed to hook directly into the standard loop of any pre-tied hair rig, meaning you can adapt your favorite existing setups instantly on the bank.

Q: Will these screws split the meat when you twist them in?

A: No. Unlike standard thin metal bait screws that cut a straight line through soft baits, the wide-bore plastic thread on these Korum screws is designed to gently compress and thread into the meat, creating a secure hold without splitting the cube.

Q: Can these be used for holding molded paste?

A: Yes, absolutely. They are fantastic for paste fishing. Simply clip the screw to your hair, mold your high-attract paste directly around the wide-bore screw, and the plastic ridges will act as a perfect internal anchor to prevent the paste from flying off during the cast.
