stoogi Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Two questions. Can anyone tell me where i can find some dark lead wire? All the stuff i've seen is horrible bright shiny stuff Secondly, & more importantly, is it really safe to use? I've only used shot or putty befor & i'm a little concerned that wire coiled around the rig may not be good against a Carps scales. What are your thoughts on this?

seleb Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 When lead is new it is very shiny but it does tarnish very easily so you may find that it will go nice and dull. I don't think that a few coils of lead wire up your line would be detrimental to the fishes welfare TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salokcinnodrog Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have a question on this and it bugs me. So Lead weights are banned above size 8 shot and below 1ounce, so how come we use Lead wire to wrap around the hooklink or for pop-ups? To be honest because of this I've started confusing myself, but also rubbing hooklinks in putty to weight them down rather than putting lead wire around them.
