WHERE
TO USE THE FLATLINER PEAR LEAD
Again hard bottoms are the place for these designs; the short condensed
shape of this lead coupled with the two flat sides makes it the perfect lead
for bolt rigs at short to medium range. By its very nature the flat pear
lead lends itself to being fished on marginal slopes, the sides or back or
gravel bars and in rivers. But, in fact it is open of the most effective
shapes at short to medium range because it holds so well on the lake bed and
offers so much resistance to a moving carp. Korda have also seen that this type
of lead is by far the most like a stone on the lake bed. Popular
misconception 'Flat leads sit on silt'. This does not happen, any lead finds
its easiest path through the water so instead of fluttering down to the lake
bed, a nose heavy flat lead like this will plummet down side on and nose
first. Making it probably less effective in the silt than say a Swivel Pear
lead, having said that it is devastating on gravel and is Danny's first
choice in these close range hard bottomed situations. Danny noted when
filming part 3 of the Underwater Videos 'I tried a Flatliner Pear on the
steep gravel slope to see if it really did hook the carp quicker than a
swivel lead of the same shape and to my amazement it really did! I had been
testing the lead clips for so long I had ignored the inline lead, not any
more!' This lead also leads itself perfectly to the Shocker Rig; check out

of a set up.
