Backleads

[Cliff]

Any one use them Flying or captive , did they make any difference? Ive never used them so dont no much about them, but always interested in trying new things! Any point or stear clear! your views or advise please!!!

I use flying backleads a far bit when the venues allow it due to weed etc. And tend to only use my captive backleads when the swans are becoming a pain in the proverbial a**e
The captives are excellent to help conceal the mainline but as with any backlead can cause resistance on the rig.........Ive found that a heavy flying backlead seems to cause fish to kite and i connect with them some way from where the rig was positioned ! This makes me think they can realy upset bite detection............

I used one of the flying backleads for the first time last week,seemed to work quite well but the cores diameter is big enough to allow it to slide down over rig tubing,a small rubber bead sorted that out.On casting you could see it hitting the water several yrds back from the rig,i'm going to try a couple of types, the korda ones look good but not had chance to try yet.I'll keep you informed

[Bet]

Now i'v read Phils post I might stick to the smaller ones

im a cheepskate...........im not paying korda for em............have a look through the matchmans olivette section ! ! ! i got about 15 for £3 do the job wonderfully

mine were the no brand type,think they were about 2 quid for 10.The diameter is about 10 mm. I liked the look of the korda ones as they're interchangable.
