CMF Coated Braid Stripper

The CMF Coated Braid Stripper used in carp fishing, a coated braid stripper is a dedicated tackle tool used to peel back the tough polymer outer skin of coated hooklink materials. It allows anglers to expose the supple inner braid, creating rigs with the perfect blend of stiffness, tangle-resistance, and natural bait movement.

Advantages of Using a Coated Braid Stripper

• Prevents Weak Spots: Stripping the coating with your teeth or fingernails can create nicks, kinks, or weaken the inner core. Tools like the CMF Coated Braid stripper cleanly remove the skin without damaging the supple inner line.
• Better Hooking Mechanics: Exposing 1 to 2 cm of the supple braid right below the hook creates a “hinge”. This allows the hook to pivot and rotate freely into the carp’s lip, massively improving your hook-up ratio.
• Improved Rig Presentation: You leave a stiff outer coating to act as a “boom,” which pushes your hook bait away from the lead on the cast and effectively prevents tangles.
• Enhanced Knot Strength: Stripping the coating right at the end allows you to knot the supple inner section tightly to a swivel or form neat loops without snapping the thicker outer layer.

How to Use a Stripping Tool

Coated Braid Stripper feature a small grooved blade.

1. Measure the amount of coating you want to remove.
2. Slot the coated braid into the appropriately sized groove and pull it gently against the blade until the skin is pierced.
3. Slide or peel the severed coating away to reveal the supple braided core underneath.
4. Bonus use: Many of these tools also feature circular grooves designed to help you smoothly tighten loop knots without compromising the line’s shape.
