moorsey Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Why does it always seem to be me that has to ask? Why do you want to use lead core? How do you see it benefitting your fishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnorty Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Seriously?? You don't know how to connect mainline to a looped end? There is sooooo much wrong here - I call shananigans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoogi Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I really despair when I read posts like this couldnt agree more!! Same here, but it's difficult to educate people when you have Jim Shelley advocating using 30 feet of the stuff. Slowly but surely the angling world is realising the dangers of leadcore. Our best hope is that more fisheries ban it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least some of us are learning. Untill one of the mags start to print the dangers of leadcore and other types of leaders, then the brainwashed will stay that way. Unfortunatly the mags are only there to make money (not slating them for that as we all need to earn a wage) and the companies producing the horrible stuff is where there main income comes from, along with the sponsored anglers having to comply with the deals they have signed up to. Maybe with this Freespool magazine coming out, some unbiased articles can get into print and more people will start to see the effects of using leadcore?

rhyse_b Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 You guy's aren't really helping, You hear the word leadcore and start getting all aggressive like its a crime to use it.... Why not just let the guy know the danger's of using it? Instead of trying to make him look stupid as if he doesn't know how to connect mainline to it? Everytime I visit the forum I get the feeling like I'm walking into a pub full of local's and no one else is welcome here if you dont agree 100% with the locals!

He has been given the links to the threads containing the dangers of leadcore. Based on the reading I have done, I would make it a crime to use it!

Gaz Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 But it's not a crime, It's manufactured and sold and is legal to use...i think you will find that it is still legal to use FIXED leads but would you uase them? or bent hooks and again would you use them? i have out up 3 good links to leadcore so you cant say there has been no help. if the guy had come on asking about fixed leads or bent hooks my response and most others (and probably yours) would have been the same its just that because idiots like shelly uses and promotes lead core people still use it and it is not completely in the public eye the dangers of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyse_b Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Haha! hopefully other fisheries will follow but until then no-one can really moan if its not banned.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhyse_b Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I understand but I think it would be more constuctive making fishery owners aware rather than having a moan at individuals that bring it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
