Special lead

In the special lead category you will find weights with special designs that have been developed specifically for special fishing situations and techniques. This could be in strong current water, deep muddy river beds or when you want to add soluble PVA directly to the bait - each situation requires a different type of lead.

The tyroliffe is an elongated, hollow-bodied weight with a heavy lower part and an almost floating upper part. It has the advantage of minimal snagging as it "lies" on the bottom and does not sink into the mud after casting. This type is ideal for slow-flowing or still water where it is important that the rig remains stable but does not get lost in the soft bottom.

The claw lead is good in areas where strong currents or steep breaks would cause the rig to shift. The claws grip the bottom, so the lead holds the lure firmly in place - even when catching larger fish. The arm design also stabilises the flight on casts, so you can deliver your lure accurately and precisely, even over long distances.

The PVA lead is specifically designed to allow easy and practical attachment of a PVA bag or net to the lure. It usually has a special shape and groove into which the PVA pack can be inserted. This solution is particularly useful if you don't want to use a separate adapter or tie-off for quick and tidy fishing.

The use of special leads is a step in the direction of professional fishing, as these types allow you to react more precisely to the specific characteristics of the water. Choosing the right lead can increase not only the stability of the tackle but also the number of catches, as optimal weight distribution, correct positioning and targeted bait placement are all important factors for success.

TackleBait has a range of specialised lead types to choose from - from beginners to experienced anglers, there's a solution to suit everyone. Whether it's a river adventure, muddy bottom or precise PVA fishing, these leads give you a real edge on the bank.
