Lead Coating powder in numerous colours including Camo 2, Camo 3, Camo 4 and Mottled Brown along with Silt and various gravel colours. So do I understand you correctly Simon, in that you are saying that when a fish goes into the weed, you want the lead to be tight enough not to be released? At first glance it may look like the simplest, most basic carp rig in the world and you’d be right, it is and for good reason!

Nash Tungsten Inline Lead Insert – Willy Worms

The concept of the drop off is fairly simple but is best used with a ring swivel over a standard one. The internals of each Tidy Stem have been designed and created using a unique fluorocarbon material, fused together to ensure strength (45lb breaking strain), flexibility (wireless 100% fluorocarbon internals) and in turn fish safety. A ring swivel is fused at one end and a small fused loop protrudes from the other, to which you can attach your main line via either your choice of knot, or the quick-change loop-to-loop method. Don't worry I wasn't offended I just wanted to be clear that I'm aware of the balance of fish safety and effectiveness. Again these come with six stems, as well as three connectors and two metres of tungsten tubing for your three rods.

There are numerous inline set-ups available, and heli set ups, and lead clips, and they all work as intended out of the packet.

It’s always worth moistening the clip before you push the tail rubber over to ensure should you have a break off the fish can still get rid of the lead.My Fox COG leads turned up in the post today so I am going to be in my element experimenting with them. When using a free running lead, you will detect even small fish movements but you lose the bolt effect of the lead.
