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 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 .
