The company was started by owner Danny Fairbrass back in 1992 and initially only manufactured leads, but now produces everything from small terminal tackle items such as hooks all the way up to larger products like luggage.

The Korda brand is focused on the carp market, but there is also a sister brand, Tackle Guru, which started out focusing on match fishing, and has now found favour with pleasure and specimen anglers as well, as its range of tackle has broadened.

The type of angling Korda Developments and Guru Tackle focus on may vary but the same objective remains for both brands.

Each of our products are designed and extensively tested in-house, where we have complete control over each stage of the process - from the initial idea right through to it appearing on the shelves of tackle shops.

Korda has also been making angling films for many years and these have been aired on television ever since 2006 when the first ‘Thinking Tackle’ series went out on Sky and was later followed by ‘Fishing Gurus’; and more recently with ‘The Big Fish Off’, ‘Monster Carp’ and ‘Fishing Allstars’ all becoming hits, with multiple series on ITV4.
