The lead is one of the most fundamental, yet often underestimated, accessories in fishing, playing a crucial role in accurate casting, getting your bait to the right depth, and ensuring stability against currents. tacklebait.en, as one of Hungary's leading fishing shops, proudly offers the widest selection of leads available on the market, with over 100 different products, so that every angler can find the ideal solution for them. Our range includes high-quality leads from renowned brands like Delphin, CPX Tackle, and Garbolino, which guarantee reliability and effectiveness.
When choosing leads, several factors should be considered, such as the fishing method, water depth and current, casting distance, and the type of rig used. We offer in-line leads, which are excellent for boilie and method feeder fishing, allowing the fish to move freely after the strike. End leads are ideal for stable bait presentation on the bottom, while split shot and stotz leads are essential for fine-tuning float rigs. In addition, we offer silicone-coated leads, which cause less damage to the line, and special leads that provide solutions for unique fishing situations, such as lead-free alternatives or specially shaped pieces for difficult terrains.
Whether it's feeder fishing, where precise baiting and sensitive bite indication are key, or boilie fishing, where the goal is to stalk trophy carp, the right lead is crucial. But we have also thought of lovers of float fishing
and spinners, who may need special, environmentally friendly alternatives. Our expert team is always ready to help you navigate the vast selection and find the lead that best suits your fishing style and goals.
What types of leads exist, and what are they used for?
We offer a wide range of fishing leads, each type designed for a specific task. In-line leads run inside the line, minimizing the chance of tangles, and are ideal for boilie and method feeder fishing where the aim is for the fish to hook itself by its own weight. End leads are placed at the end of the rig, providing stable anchoring on the bottom, mainly recommended for river or long-range feeder and bottom fishing. Split shot and stotz leads are small, divided weights used primarily for fine-tuning float rigs and weighting floats. Silicone-coated leads are gentler on the line and easier to move, while special leads, such as environmentally friendly tungsten or steel versions, are designed for specific situations, snaggy terrain, or lead-free regulations.
What weight lead should I choose for my fishing method?
The choice of lead weight primarily depends on the fishing method, casting distance, water depth, and current. For feeder fishing on a medium-strength river, an end lead of up to 60-100 grams may be necessary, depending on the weight of the feeder basket, while on still water, for method feeder fishing, a 20-50 gram in-line lead may be sufficient. In boilie fishing, distance and the nature of snags determine the weight; usually, 80-150 gram leads are used. In float fishing, the weight of the split shots is adjusted to the float's buoyancy, ranging from the finest 0.1 gram up to several gram stotz leads. It's always worth keeping several weights in your bag to adapt to changing conditions.
What brands of leads should I look for, and why?
At tacklebait.en, you will find lead products from many reliable brands. Delphin, for example, offers a wide range of modern, aerodynamically designed leads that are excellent for distance casting and resistant to snags. CPX Tackle is a specialist in premium quality boilie leads, which feature precise weighting and durable coatings. Garbolino primarily offers quality split shot and stotz leads for fans of float and fine tackle fishing, whose precise craftsmanship helps with accurate bite indication. When choosing, consider the material quality, center of gravity, and design to select the most suitable one for your specific fishing method.
How can I minimize the environmental impact caused by lead?
The environmental effects of lost leads during fishing are an increasing concern. tacklebait.en, supporting conscious anglers, offers lead-free alternatives, such as weights made of iron, stainless steel, or tungsten, which are biodegradable or can be recycled in an environmentally friendly way. These leads provide an excellent alternative, especially in waters where lead use is restricted or prohibited. It is also worth paying attention to the quality of the line and the strength of the knots to lose as few leads as possible while fishing. Make sure to collect lost leads whenever possible.
