elmoputney Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Hi guys I have discovered I really like having a couple of these around as they are useful, I've been using the fox ones but at nearly 8 quid a pair I don't like losing them 😣 I lost one today 😭 I mean the 4 pronged ones BTW grappling leads Does anyone know where I can get some that are cheaper please?

B B Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Grip leads sea anglers use them £1 ish each wrap elastic bands around the wires or use tape. elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B B Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I use to trim down the wires so they wouldn’t bend as much. elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I use a cable tie to stop the wires tripping out. They do the job perfectly, and without added carp tax. elmoputney and Pete Springate's Guns 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted August 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Nice one cheers guys I knew there would be a cost effective solution, will get searching, I could probably lash some up with a coat hanger or something thinking about it 😂 Just drill a couple of holes right through a lead, bend the coat hanger wire and zip tie it for extra strength, I am imagining a 6 pronged pear lead right now for extra tough weeds 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That worked just fine as well. 50lb braid straight through and you're in business elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use these with a cable tie , its amazing how much weed you can clear from a tight spot .
