Some might say a lead is a lead, and
that you’d be daft to pay more for one just because it has a name on
it. To an extent, I’d agree – especially when you see how much some
people are asking - but thankfully it would appear Nash Tackle has
taken a more sensible approach. As anglers themselves,
the team at Nash are well aware of how many leads it’s possible to get
through in a season, and as such, have manufactured a simple but
effective lead at a reasonable price; £1.99 a pair, and when you
consider that other brands are asking as much as £1.20 for just one,
then I’m sure you will agree it’s good value.
Of
course you can get cheaper leads, I’d be a fool to say otherwise, but
just because you can pick up unbranded products for less does not
always mean you’re getting a bargain. Those who know me will testify
that I begrudge paying out for no good reason, as I can ill-afford to
splash out at the best of times, but there are certain items of tackle
that I’ve found it always pays to spend a few extra pence on, and
leads, along with hooks and line, are definitely one such item.
I’ve
purchased cheap leads in the past, of course I have, but I got sick of
the swivels collapsing, or the lead ring pulling free on the cast, when
snagged, or worse still, coming out before you’ve even attached the
lead to your safety clip! Since I started spending a bit more on leads
I’ve certainly cut down the amount I get through in a year, and you
can’t really ask for more than that.
As
for purpose, the Nash Pear leads are just the job when you are faced
with margins that drop away, bars and shelves, or any other instance
where you want it to hold bottom and not roll away taking your rig with
it. The Nash Pear is a good all-rounder and I use it for perhaps 70-80%
of my fishing.
Nash Pears come in six sizes; 1.1, 1.5, 2, 2.5,
3, 4oz, and each set comes in a plastic tube with foam inserts. I use
various sizes and all have performed perfectly.
