i have got 4 of them but havent used them yet, il just have to keep checking that the lead comes free. i have got the safezone leaders with the swivels on and they are very thin leaders. do you think it was the leader that was the problem then or could it have been the swivel to big for the insert?

any online tackle shop that stocks korda tackle will sell them, or you could try your local tackle shop

i do buy the korda safezone leaders but at the moment the fox ones seem abit of a bargain

im looking at buying some myself, as tony mentioned korda and fox sell them and im probably going to get the fox ones, because you get 3 for £5 whereas korda charge £5 for one.

Just a hint mate,don't mix and match companies components unless your confident because you could end up creating an extremely dangerous rig. Plenty of reasonably priced complete kits. i dont think it matters using leads with a different companies setup components, not every company sells there own leads. but as for other setup components like lead clips, rig beads and rig tubing i agree with what tony said. i use atomic leads and fox / korda/ esp components.

i dont think he uses a rig on the end of his lead so its still set up helicopter style, it will still work with an inline lead its just using an inline lead will mean he has to tie his mainline to a swivel or kwik link, this way his line passes through it for attachments (maybe pva bags as stoogi said) it will still work allthough if it was me i would just use a lead with a swivel on as i have been taught.

my mates had very good results on esp stripteaze but i prefer using gardner suffix hooklink materials such as camo skin, heavy skin and black stealth. the above 3 have proven themselves for me

i sometimes tie a loop in the end of my rig so i can pull the hooklink through pva sticks and connect a stik clip with a swivel on, to my mainline / leadcore. the swivel then allows my rig to rotate incase the carp rolls.

i use kordas wide gapes and longshanks but im also a fan of the fox series 4 and series 5 hooks

i think sufix 'camo skin' and 'kameleon' are good hooklinks. they are coated braids but are very good for hinged rigs. but for a heavy hooklink you could try sufix heavy skin.

matt hayes used it on an episode of lake escapes in italy and he caught on it. he also caught on a whole strawberry on the hair.

has anyone seen the camo corn from enterprise tackle? it looks quite good for a silty bottom
