This non-toxic quick-release weight is made from zinc with a brown plastic coating and is designed to pin fishing line down to the bottom of the lake or riverbed near the angler’s rod. This helps keep the line out of the way of fish and reduces the chance of spooking them.
1. Stealth and Line Concealment
Carp are often wary of lines suspended in the water. A back lead ensures the line stays flush with the bottom, making it less visible and reducing the chances of spooking the fish.
2. Avoiding Line Bites
When carp swim through or bump into a fishing line, they can become spooked. Using a back lead minimizes the chances of this by keeping the line below their swimming level.
3. Preventing Tangling with Other Lines
In multi-rod setups, back leads help keep lines organized and prevent them from crossing or tangling when carp run after being hooked.
4. Minimizing Interference with Boats or Wildlife
In venues with boat traffic or waterfowl, a back lead keeps the line low and reduces the chances of it being disturbed or cut by passing boats or birds.
5. Improved Line Tension
By angling the line downward, a back lead can help maintain better tension and improve bite indication, especially when used with bite alarms.
Back leads are especially useful in calm waters and can be a vital tool for achieving a stealthy and effective presentation in carp fishing.
