Now
the most condensed shape of all is a ball, but a ball could possibly roll
around before the full weight is felt, and it's not tapered towards the back
of the lead enough to stop the hooklink tangling around it. So Korda chose
to put 4 flat sides onto the ball and gently taper the back to avoid
tangles. An appropriate name that summed up the lead, was of course
THE SQUARE PEAR SWIVEL
As an inline there is no lead out there that the fish will feel the full
weight of more instantly. Even as a swivel lead the fish will still feel
more of the weight sooner because it's so short and one end of the lead is
almost the same as the other. Only the movement of the swivel will affect a
difference. So in short, you have the most condensed inline lead and swivel
lead there can be, with flat sides that works in a fishing situation. Korda
know because this is already the second generation of square pear, the first
generation was too square which meant some times it would not roll over and
lie on its side, instead it sat on its end with the swivel at the top of the
lead sticking bolt upright off the lake bed, not ideal at all. This lead
will cast almost as far as a normal pear lead but will have better hooking
potential so I recommend you use it everywhere you can. The only time to
change is when it will not cast far enough, then it's time to change to a
Skyliner for inline or a Tournament or Swivel Distance for swivel type
systems. To maximise distance use a swivel lead, as it will always cast
further than an inline.
