Back leads???

poledark:

I am not sure if Elton will allow this but these are my backleads,they weigh 1.25oz.

 

 

 

Why wouldn't I allow it? :confused:

[poledark]

Just thought you might think I was advertising them on your site (which of course I am )

 

 

DJM, not had any probs in 18months of daily use, the more violent the take the better they work. As soon as the B/L starts to move the "drag" on the cord pulls the pin out and the B/L drops off...the cord does not have to tighten.

 

And being all metal (stainless and brass) they should last a lifetime. None of your old crap that needs replacing all the time.

 

Make pretty good bobbins as well!

Can some kind soul explain to a newbie what a back lead is and what it does. I sure seem to have a lot to learn!! :confused:

A back lead is just a lead that clips to your line, cast out, leave the bail-arm open, and clip the lead on and throw it in the water.

The line will sink at the rod tip so the line don't cut through the water spooking fish, eliminates line bites, and you don't have to worry about birds getting caught in your line.

Thanks Dan. Would this also work with a baitrunner in free spool?

From what I gather the back lead comes free as soon as there's a take so it doesn't affect the strike.

Does it work if there's weed close in?

Yes, the email address is there but the outlook express is not working right! I suggest using the AnglersnetPrivate email mate as I know it my old computer he got!
