View Full Version : Leadcore
Hi people, Ive just started fishing a clearish water with a silty bottom, problem is the fish seem really wary. gonna try using leadcore leader, but wanted to know which you thought were the best for this sort of situation, blend in to the deck and so on?
thought would be appreciated.

Would recommend ESP 45lb Camo leadcore very highly.
ESP every time! http://www.rmcangling.co.uk/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif
kyston score is my fav very heavy and blends in well
you could also try a flurocarbon leader as well?

ESP http://www.cemexangling.co.uk/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif for certain. Dead easy to splice as well and it comes with the splicing tool. Once spliced though always use a blob of superglue, (just to make sure) http://www.cemexangling.co.uk/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I've found 'Score' to blend in best on silty waters.
ESP good, also like sufix's heavy core both in 45lb. The one nash market's is excellent at blending into the lake bed, but a real pain to splice. Did'nt get on with the score, too much white in it.
Used esp leadcore on a very silty lake this year with no problems, top stuff. http://www.cemexangling.co.uk/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Have to say ESP has done me proud! Go get some and get catching!

I've used fox leadcore before and found it terribly difficult to splice. I'm going to get ESP from now on as i've not heard a bad word about it

Use ESP for silt and fox for weed, never had a problem spliceing either of them http://www.cemexangling.co.uk/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif
the new whycwood deep deception im playing around with now seems really nice and easy to splice with no slippage. only got hold of some yeterday so havent put it into use yet bet feels/looks really good

Leadcore from Bevan Carp Tackle in Chelmsford, or the Gardner leadcore. One in the same I believe. Great silt colour, 26lb B/S.

How have you got one with the Gardner leacore? I have found it's too stiff and the core is prone to poking it's head where you have splitt it off? or is it just me,, it kept doing it no matter how careful I was with tying it so I have gone back to ESP.
Agree with you there mate, both products are easy to use and reliable

It isnt reliable..
ESP or Kerplunk in 45Ib al the way thankyou!
ESP or the Sufix Heavy core. Both bang on.
ESP, even more so now it comes on sensible sized spools http://www.cemexangling.co.uk/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
