Hello mate , sorry cant help with your enquiry im afraid but just thought i'd welcome you to this terrific forum

I tend to use the gardner dual bore 4mm rubberbeads which fit onto either the korda sinkers or the newer gardner version of em . I like the look of the avid chod beads but if it aint broke...

Two great fish there ...bravo !

Yes ouch very well explained. How do i tie one ?

As i said , i no longer use leadcore whether it was my fault or not . I've had no such incident since .

Liam , the only occasions i used leadcore was when i was using the esp ready-made leadcore helicopter set ups ( i believe the also sell a lead clip version ) . One day i caught a mirror carp of about 10 maybe 12lb , i dont know i didnt weigh it , but it had really horrific mouth damage . Now , it put up a good fight and indeed was zig zagging all over the shop and i really dont know whether i or the leadcore was to blame for it but it was fresh damage so either i caused it or someone else caught the same fish half hour earlier and ripped its face to peices . What i do know is that i felt SO guilty afterwards that i have never used leadcore since ...just in case . I fish chods sometimes and when i do i fish 'em naked (so to speak ) but not because its in vogue or trendy . In actual fact the naked chod is probably far from trendy nowadays ...
