Korda Pulla: The Essential Tool for Rock-Solid Rig Construction
Every experienced carp angler knows that a rig is only as good as the knot that holds it together. At Gerry’s Fishing, we understand that tightening knots by hand—or worse, using your teeth—is a recipe for inconsistent rigs or even injury. The Korda Pulla is a simple, brilliantly engineered solution designed to give you the leverage and safety needed to pull knots tight and test their integrity before they ever hit the water.
Built with a heavy-duty, ergonomic handle and a precision-engineered 2mm stainless steel hook, the Pulla is designed to fit perfectly into the eye of a size 8 swivel or any standard link loop. This takes the “fiddle” out of rig tying, allowing you to grip the tool firmly and apply steady, even pressure. It is the ultimate tool for ensuring your knots are fully “bedded down,” which is critical for both the strength of the rig and the safety of the fish.

Why Every Angler Needs a Korda Pulla
-
Safe Knot Tensioning: Tightening a knot by holding a small swivel between your fingers is difficult and can lead to the swivel slipping and cutting your skin. The Pulla provides a secure, solid anchor point.
-
Checking Rig Integrity: Before casting out a fresh rig, it is vital to “test” it. The Pulla allows you to apply significant pressure to ensure the knot won’t fail under the lunging run of a large carp.
-
Proper Knot Bedding: Many knots fail because they haven’t been pulled tight enough to “set” the coils. The leverage provided by the Pulla ensures the monofilament or braid beds down perfectly, maximizing knot strength.
-
Finesse Rig Work: When working with stiff materials like Mouthtrap or heavy fluorocarbon, getting a knot to sit correctly requires more force than usual. The Pulla makes this task effortless.
Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Team
The “Double Pulla” Technique: For the most consistent results, use two Korda Pullas together. Put one through the swivel at one end of your hooklink and the second through the loop or rig ring at the other. This allows you to pull from both ends simultaneously, ensuring the entire length of the material is stretched and the knots at both ends are perfectly set. Remember to always lubricate your knots with water or saliva before pulling them tight!
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 2mm hook fit all swivels?
The Pulla is specifically designed to fit the industry-standard Korda Size 8 swivel, which is the go-to size for most lead clip and inline lead setups. It will also fit most other brands’ size 8 swivels and various large rig rings.
Can it damage my swivels?
No. The stainless steel hook is smooth and rounded. As long as you aren’t using excessive, unnatural force, it will sit in the eye of the swivel without causing any distortion or damage to the metal.
Is it suitable for use with braid?
Absolutely. In fact, it is essential for braid. Braided materials often require a very firm pull to ensure the knot is seated correctly. The Pulla provides the grip you need to do this without the braid cutting into your hands.
How durable is the tool?
The Korda Pulla is built to last. The stainless steel hook is securely molded into the handle, and because there are no moving parts, it is a tool that will likely stay in your tackle box for years to come.
