Silicone lead
Silicone leads are ideal for fine line fishing, where fast, accurate weighting is important, but also gentle handling of the line. The soft silicone insert prevents damage, so it's safe to use even on thinner leaders. Delphin silicone lead sets come in a practical design, fit snugly, are easy to handle and versatile.
Silicone weights are small yet key components of fishing tackle that ensure both precise weighting and safe use. These leads are fitted with an internal silicone insert to protect the main line or leader from damage - especially important when fishing with thin, sensitive monofilament or fluorocarbon leaders.
A big advantage of the silicone finish is that it is easy to put on, while remaining firmly in place on the line. This is particularly useful when precise weight distribution is required - for example, when float fishing, adjusting the spread or setting a fine sink rate. The soft insert does not slip or deform the line, so it can even be reused.
Garbolino silicone leads come in classic spherical shapes as well as flattened, stotz-type versions. These are particularly useful when working in tight spaces or when you need to quickly adjust the weight on the line. The Garbolino range is characterised by accurate sizing, uniform weight and a reusable, reclosable boxed packaging, ideal for quick work on the waterfront.
The silicone leads are also excellent for fishing bream, crucian carp, carp or even finicky feeding fish, as they help to fine tune the bait movement and minimise drag when catching. The angler can adjust the weighting at any time without having to re-tie the line.
The silicone lures available from TackleBait come in a wide range of sizes, making it easy to find weights from the smallest milligrams to the larger half-grams. Whether you're using it for float, feeder or match fishing, choosing the right silicone lead will give you more precise and safer fishing.
