Grappling leads

[elmoputney]

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?

Grip leads sea anglers use them £1 ish each wrap elastic bands around the wires or use tape.

I use to trim down the wires so they wouldn’t bend as much.

Or I use a cable tie to stop the wires tripping out. They do the job perfectly,  and without added carp tax.

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 😁

I've simply screwed some screws into a 4oz lead before. That worked just fine as well. 50lb braid straight through and you're in business
