WHERE
TO USE THE SWIVEL PEAR LEAD The classic pear lead will cast a very very long way, almost as far as the
Distance Casting and it is less affected by cross winds because the shape is
very condensed. This means the Pear lead is suited to most carp fishing
situations when fishing anything up to the very limit of your casting
ability. The dumpy shape can be used to your advantage in silt, try using a
very light pear lead say 1oz or 2oz and actually let the lead plug into the
silt, this will dramatically increase the resistance to a moving carp so
what feels like a light lead in your hand is transformed into a heavy lead
in the fishing situation.
Because the lead has a large rounded end it makes
'feeling' the lead hit the bottom easier than more slender or pointed
shapes, if you are new to this technique this lead will make the job easier.
If you don't know what Korda are talking about check out the carp mags they are
always showing you to do it! Korda rely on it so heavily Korda couldn't leave the
rig our there without 'feeling' the lead down to the bottom. The pear lead
is also ideal in a solid PVA bag because it can be pushed down into one of
the corners. This makes the bag nose heavy and so more accurate.
