Special lead
The special leads category includes specially designed weights such as Tyrolean leads, claw leads, or PVA leads, which are made for unique purposes. They help you prepare for extreme situations – whether it's current, muddy bottom, or targeted PVA feeding. These leads provide an advantage where traditional types are no longer sufficient.
In the special lead category, you'll find specially designed weights developed specifically for unique fishing situations and techniques. Such situations include strong current in a river, a deep muddy bed, or when you want to deliver dissolving PVA material directly next to the bait – each case requires a different type of lead.
The Tyrolean lead is an elongated, hollow-bodied weight, with its lower part weighted and its upper part almost floating. Its advantage is minimal snagging, as it 'lies' on the bottom and does not sink into the mud after casting. This type is ideal for slowly flowing or still waters where it's important for the rig to remain stable but not get lost in soft bottom.
The claw lead comes in handy in areas where strong currents or steep drop-offs would displace the rig. The claws grip the bottom, keeping the lead fixed – even when larger fish bite. The clawed design also stabilizes flight during casting, allowing you to deliver the terminal tackle accurately and precisely, even over long distances.
The PVA lead is specifically designed to allow a PVA bag or mesh that fits the bait to be easily and practically attached to it. It usually has a special shape and groove into which the PVA package can be fitted. This solution is particularly useful when you don't want to use a separate adapter or tie-down for quick and tidy fishing.
The use of special leads points towards professional fishing, as these types allow for a more precise response to the characteristics of the given water area. Choosing the right lead can increase not only the stability of the rig but also the number of bites, as optimal weight distribution, correct position, and targeted bait placement are all important factors for success.
In the TackleBait range, you can choose from many special lead types – from beginners to experienced anglers, everyone will find the right solution for them. Whether it's a river adventure, a muddy bottom, or precise PVA fishing, these leads give a real advantage on the bank.
