Hi guys,
I am trying to work out how you fit an isotope in a Korda Distance stick. It looks like the level plusg is supposed to come out and you drop it in but can't work out how you get the top plug out?

The only video I can see is Elliott Gray but his pushing the plug back in after his dropped the isotope in.

Driving me nuts lol

Thanks in advance

I have the mini isotopes which fit the black and white bobbings.

The hole Fluro end just unscrew s off and you drop the isotope in screw end and then screw back on. Simples.

Cheers, tried that and the isotope wouldn't fit in and didn't want to force it.

Cheers

Screw the head off, there is a tiny hole just big enough to poke a baiting needle through. That will allow you to push the top off ( bubble level head) drop the isotope in, push the bubble cap back on. Job done 👍

Had the same issue tried every trick and broke a baiting needle or two. I ended up buying elite tackle replacement heads

Can't believe that after people have paid a fortune for a couple of Korda sticks they break and you have to pay another fortune for new bits to go on top.
FFS they are only sticks to wrap your line around
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
