korda backleads

[staffordjonny]

i have used these forever but after this weekend never again i sent the Mrs Friday to buy a pack of three, come sat morning i had lost three and had to buy another three! this morning tally of lost korda back leads 7!
all where lost because the rubber on the line clip parted! god I'm not happy! anyone else had this problem?

Make my own back leads with some plastic running rings and tiny match bombs. Make about 10 for £3 so dont care if i lose them, yet to lose one apart from in weed etc.

i used to use the gardner ones mate never had any problems with them ....but i chucked one out once i had the privalage of rowin a boat out ..lookin down didnt look like it pind down much more than usin slack lines {bobbins deckd} so i stopd usin them ???? suppose if you like them it adds to convidence wich can never be a bad thing lol

I always make my own out of running rings and 1/2 oz cheap leads, usually have 7 or 8 in my tackle box, so cheap who cares if they fall off.

i use them all the time, never had a problem, i'v had the rubber splitting a few times, but i replace'd it with catty elastic

Captive all the way for me never had no problems in three years of fishing with them. Don't know what all the fuss is about !

i hate the korda ones! i stopped using them after a session when i lost six in one night they kept coming off the line when went to chuck it into the water! since then i've been using the fox downriggers and they have not let me down yet!

[Joephus]

Who carrys this many back leads!!!!!!!!!!!!

To have lost 6 in a night? I would of run out after the first one fell of my line, may of had a spare 1 somewhere but not that many. Generally have 2 or 3 in box and fish either 2 -3 rods.

Agree with Smokey, I'm not convinced that they are really effective unless you're fishing really close in.

[staffordjonny]

i only use them on runs waters not my usual waters but its not the point paying £4 pound for three was just a bit miffed! i think with back lead u either love em or hate em kinda like marmite!

check these babies out ,, hard plastic ring 1/2 oz weight and these will never be lost,, and check the height out, 22cm..no rubber either

stapley angling £3 for 3 i think they were cheap,, coz i aint lost any of em

[Bet]

I use those ones when available too matey,the only thing I dont like about them is the unfinished burr where the ring fits onto the lead,slight doctoring soon sorts it tho never lost one off the line but have misplaced a few of em on the bank.

i had a conversation in a tackle shop about korda backleads with a rep in there i was slagging them off for the very reasons you guys are saying his reply was well you would'nt need to keep buying them if they did'nt fall apart would you more reason for me never using them again

[Billcrazyfish]

Cheers Mark for the plug lol. My backleads have a stainless steel swan neck clip that is very user friendly and can be attached to the line using one hand and not having to mess around pulling rubbers or clips apart etc. How mad is this.....you get 10 for £8.00 in a bulk deal...Result!!!
And they dont come off every time a bat hits your line. In fact I would be surprised if you could lose one of these things at all. Two sizes available:30g or 50g. Cheers Guys Bill
