Description
The Korda Pear Swivel Leads are a classic pear-shaped lead that casts a very long way, almost as far as a distance casting lead, while being less affected by cross winds thanks to its condensed shape. This makes it suited to most carp fishing situations when fishing up to the very limit of your casting ability. The dumpy shape can be used to your advantage in silt. Try using a very light pear lead, say 1oz or 2oz, and let the lead plug into the silt. This dramatically increases the resistance to a carp moving away with the rig, so what feels like a light lead in your hand is transformed into a heavy lead in the fishing situation. Because the lead has a large rounded end, it makes feeling the lead hit the bottom easier than more slender or pointed shapes, which is helpful if you are new to this technique. The pear lead is also ideal in a solid PVA bag because it can be pushed down into one of the corners, making the bag nose heavy and so more accurate.
