Running leads are all I ever use. Unless I'm freelining.

No problem BC. Taska do what I wanted, courtesy of a link from Cyborx earlier. Have just ordered a couple of packs.

Completely agree about the fox stuff Yonny.... especially fishing in weed the coating doesn't last at all starts crinkling up. Haven't tried this esp loaded stuff might have to have a look at it .

Certainly do bud, 20 lb semi stiff in brown. It's pricey, in that you get half as much as the other links for similar money, but well worth it IMO. I actually bought some cheaper Fox Camotex Stiff for when the situation doesn't warrant using the more expensive ESP stuff (idiotic decision that was, don't know what I was thinking tbh) and it reminded me just how much better it is. It just doesn't compare, the Fox stuff went on the spare bits shelf and hasn't been touched since while I've got through another 2 spools of the ESP. It's versatile too - I've used it for all sorts.

Here's a statement for you fella; it's the best coated braid I've ever used..... and I've used most of them. The stiffness is just right - enough to kick the link out but settle over uneven substrate. The braid inside is super supple. The coating doesn't split at the knot. It pulls straight without steaming. It's as close to perfect as is currently available. One of the products of the year for me. Disagree hutch, it sinks miles better IMO. I agree you still need putty but I found you need significantly less than with other coated braids.

I've been using coated braid for the last 2 or 3 years for my hook lengths, but am now thinking about going back to using either mono or fluro. I might tie a few rigs using the left over DPF line that I have. It's fluro coated, and if it's as invisible as Wychwood claim, will be the perfect solution to an age old problem. Knots well, sinks well. Got to be worth a try, surely????

For a full definition of the rules and site usage hints and smallprint, see below or go to http://www.carp.com/terms.php for full Terms & Conditions members agreed to when signing up for Carp.com. We don´t want to bother you with harsh restrictions and the like but there are some simple things that make life a lot easier for you, the other forum members and the mods. 1. Read the rules of this forum, and keep them in mind when posting. Most trouble with the mods or other members is caused by not holding to these rules. 2. Use the search engine as often as possible! There´s already a lot of information on here and you can learn a lot without posting yourself. Some members may get annoyed by answering the same question over and over again. A tip for the Search facility, when you type in the search term, click "search all terms", you can even specify which particular forum you want to search for posts in. 3. Be polite and friendly in your posts. For example DON´T SHOUT, so keep the CAPS LOCK Off 4. Check your spelling! It´s hard to read your posts if you don´t. For this matter there´s the edit button in the right corner of every post. 5. Contribute to this forum. This means don´t only ask questions although good questions are a contribution but answer questions if you´ve the knowledge. 6. If a post or thread you read is against the rules of carp.com report it to the mods. Therefore every post has the report this post button in the corner. Even if you think that a post is in the wrong place or is incorrect then report it (a "click" button to the right of the post). We would rather have report post notifications than a bunch of insults flying. Swearing will not be Tolerated on the Forum. I have removed and edited posts to remove [censored] language. There is no need for it. If you cannot post without swearing then simply do not post! As for Swearing, I don't care if you use asterisks, @, figures etc to replace a letter. The Implication is there and as far as I'm concerned counts as Swearing. If you cannot post without swearing then simply do not post! The post will simply be removed and the Member who swears will be BANNED INSTANTLY. I have also been removing Posts and Threads that are containing Text Talk. The reason for Text Talk is a Lack of space on a mobile Phone Text screen. There is no such limit on Carp.com replies/posts. It makes a post easier to understand if it is written in plain ENGLISH, with NO TEXT TALK. Ok spelling mistakes happen: typing too fast, unsure of a word. Please note that any posts which have TEXT TALK in that I see will be REMOVED. Then there is the most important part of Carp.com HAVE FUN!
