Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing wafters or balanced hook baits. The spinner swivel gives the hook plenty of movement, while the stiff Boom helps keep the presentation neat.
- Anglers who want a quick-change, ready-tied option. It’s dead handy when you’re changing spots, replacing a rig after a fish or simply don’t fancy tying rigs on the bank.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers who enjoy customising every part of a rig. A hand-tied rig gives you more control over hook-link length, hook pattern and component choice.
- Anyone needing several rigs for a long campaign. With one rig per packet, the cost can soon climb if you like carrying loads of spares.

Quick verdict
A proper handy rig for quick, tidy presentations
The Korda Spinner Rig Krank Boom takes a cracking wafter presentation and makes it quick to get fishing. The stiff Boom connection, spinner swivel and Krank hook all make sense for carp anglers who want a reliable rig without faffing around tying one from scratch.
It’s not the cheapest route compared with tying your own, and you only get one rig in the packet. But if you like the spinner-rig presentation and want a clean, consistent option for your box, this is a bob-on bit of kit.

Korda’s Boom, Krank hook and crimped spinner components make this a tidy, purposeful rig.
The stiff hook link and free-moving spinner section are well suited to consistent wafter presentations.
The Krank hook and rotating presentation give it strong hooking potential when matched to the right bait and spot.
It arrives ready tied, includes a quick-change loop and lets you replace the hook without rebuilding everything.
The convenience is spot on, but one rig per packet means regular users may find the cost adds up.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Korda Spinner Rig Krank Boom
Some rigs are all about making life easier, and the Korda Spinner Rig Krank Boom is bang in that camp. It gives you the spinner-rig presentation without needing to sit at home with a spool of Boom, a pair of crimps and a head full of knots. Open the packet, add it to a suitable quick-change system and you’re pretty much ready to get on with the important bit: finding a bite-time spot.
The rig uses a Korda Krank hook, joined to a 5.5-inch Boom hook link. That Boom is stiff, strong and designed to keep the business end behaving itself. There’s no floppy hook link folding back on itself every time you cast. Instead, the hook is held away from the connection, helping the whole thing settle neatly on the lakebed.
At the hook end, you get a crimped spinner swivel. That’s the bit that gives the Krank hook its movement. Fit a wafter or balanced hook bait and the hook can rotate naturally as a carp investigates and mouths the bait. It’s a simple idea, but a proper effective one when everything lands the way it should.
The Krank hook is a natural match here. Its shape is built around aggressive hooking, and the spinner arrangement lets it turn without being locked rigidly into one position. That’s why this sort of rig has become such a popular choice for anglers fishing modern bottom-bait and wafter presentations.
At the opposite end, the Boom has a crimped loop for quick-change systems. That’s dead handy on a busy session. You can swap rigs without cutting line or tying knots, whether you’re moving from the edge to an open-water chuck or replacing a rig after landing a lump. Just make sure your quick-change connection is properly covered and sitting tidy.
There’s another useful touch here too: the hook can be changed without replacing the complete rig. If the point takes a knock on gravel, weed or a hard lakebed, you’re not automatically binning the whole Boom section. That can save a bit of faff and makes the rig more practical for anglers who like carrying a few hook options.
You’ve got size 4 and size 6 hook choices, along with barbed and barbless versions. That gives you enough range for most common carp situations, though you still need to match the hook size to your hook bait and the size of fish you’re targeting. Don’t go piling a tiny wafter onto a massive hook just because it’s in the box.
The rig is supplied in black, keeping the finish fairly low-key on the bottom. It’s not a magic invisibility cloak, of course, but a dark finish makes sense for general lake fishing. Think clean spots, firm silt, light weed and those margin areas where a simple, tidy rig can get you a bite while the rods are off.
The main downside is the packet quantity. You get one ready-tied rig, so building up a proper supply of spares means buying several packets. If you’re skint or perfectly happy tying your own, a homemade spinner rig can work out cheaper. But for quick changes, consistent components and less faff, the Korda Spinner Rig Krank Boom is a cracking option to keep tucked in the tackle box.

Our take
Why the Krank Boom makes sense
This is all about convenience without making the rig look overly complicated. The 5.5-inch Boom gives the hook a strong, stiff connection, while the crimped spinner swivel lets the Krank hook rotate freely around the bait.
That’s useful when you’re fishing wafters or balanced hook baits over a clean spot, choddy area or hard lakebed. When a carp mouths the bait and moves off, the hook has plenty of freedom to turn and find a hold.
What you’re buying
A stiff Boom, a free-moving Krank and no tying marathon
The Korda Spinner Rig Krank Boom is supplied ready tied, with a 5.5-inch Boom hook link and a Korda Krank hook. At one end, the Boom has a crimped loop for attaching to a quick-change system. At the other, a crimped spinner swivel carries the hook and lets it rotate around the bait.
That combination is aimed squarely at wafter and balanced hook-bait fishing. The Boom keeps the rig from collapsing into a messy heap, while the spinner section gives the hook movement as a carp picks up the bait. It’s a clean presentation with very little bank-side faff.
Worth knowing. You get one rig per packet, supplied in black. The hook is available in size 4 or size 6, and you can choose barbed or barbless to suit the fishery rules.
Best on the bank
For quick changes and tidy wafter fishing
This rig suits anglers who want a spinner presentation but don’t fancy tying and crimping every component themselves. It’s especially useful when you’re moving between swims, changing hook baits or replacing a rig after a fish. The quick-change loop gets you fishing again sharpish.
Use it over a clean spot or a firmer lakebed with a wafter or balanced bait. Before casting, check that the hook point is clear, the bait sits neatly and the Boom isn’t trapped against the bait. A quick visual check saves plenty of grief once the rig’s out there.
It’s less suited to anglers who like altering every measurement or tying rigs specifically for heavy weed, chod or unusual hook baits. You can change the hook, which is useful, but the basic 5.5-inch format stays as it is.
A few quick answers
The stuff you’ll want to know before buying
It’s designed for wafters and balanced hook baits, where the hook can move naturally around the bait. A standard heavy bottom bait may not give the same free, balanced presentation.
No. The hook can be changed without replacing the complete rig. That means you can replace a damaged hook or switch between the available Krank sizes while keeping the Boom section.
The crimped loop at the opposite end is made for quick-change systems. Use a suitable lead clip or inline setup and make sure the connection is properly covered and secure before you cast.
