Nash End Game – Flat Pear Leads

Some might say a lead is a lead, and that youd be daft to pay more for one just
because it has a name on it. To an extent, Id agree  especially when you see
how much some people are asking - but thankfully it would appear Nash Tackle
has taken a more sensible approach.
As anglers themselves, the team at Nash are well aware of how many leads its
possible to get through in a season, and as such, have manufactured a simple
but effective lead at a reasonable price; £1.99 a pair, and when you consider
that other brands are asking as much as £1.20 for just one, then Im sure you
will agree its good value.
Of course you can get cheaper leads, Id be a fool to say otherwise, but just
because you can pick up unbranded products for less does not always mean youre
getting a bargain. Those who know me will testify that I begrudge paying out for
no good reason, as I can ill-afford to splash out at the best of times, but
there are certain items of tackle that Ive found it always pays to spend a few
extra pence on, and leads, along with hooks and line, are definitely one such
item.
Ive purchased cheap leads in the past, of course I have, but I got sick of the
swivels collapsing, or the lead ring pulling free on the cast, when snagged, or
worse still, coming out before youve even attached the lead to your safety
clip! Since I started spending a bit more on leads Ive certainly cut down the
amount I get through in a year, and you cant really ask for more than that.
As for purpose, the Nash Pear leads are just the job when you are faced with
margins that drop away, bars and shelves, or any other instance where you want
it to hold bottom and not roll away taking your rig with it. The Nash Pear is a
good all-rounder and I use it for perhaps 70-80% of my fishing.
Nash Pears come in six sizes; 1.1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4oz, and each set comes in a
plastic tube with foam inserts. I use various sizes and all have performed
perfectly.
