Leadcore is great, you can use a lower bs hooklink as the leadcores tend to be high bs. then no fish will trail the leadcore in the event of a break as the hook link will be the lowest bs of your tackle - thats what I do anyways.

Hi Mr wiggly I've been keeping koi, mirror, leather and common carp for over 20 years now. The most likely cause when fish die with no signs of any disease or damage etc at this time of year is bacterial, It leaves no sign and can kill only a few fish or the whole pond. When temperatures go down as low as they are now fish emmune system shuts down hence they have no defence against bacteria, bacteria can get into your pond easily from birds and or bird droppings amongst other uncontrolable sources. Its easy to get hold of treatment for bacterial infections to put directly into you pond water pond fish shops / dealers etc. and will not harm your fish plants etc. May be worth trying that as it won't cost you much and from my experience its nearly always the culprit when no signs are present on the fish. Hope this helps.

ANYONE ?

Cheers m8 - great help.
