leads

[chris.oldgit]

just sorting me tackle out for tomorrows foray, and it seems that my lead weight box has to many in there, (very heavy)
i have all manner and weights of leads, from 1oz to 6oz, round, bullet, wired, pear drop, some with built in line clips, and doubles/trebles of some of the usual types.
i dont like to leave any at home, in case i should lose 1 and not be able to replace it, like for like.
do other anglers have the same problem, or is it just me ?
how many leads do you carry ?

[MRG2000]

Depends on the mark i'm fishing generally half a dozen 6oz geminis, but upto a dozen if it a rough ground mark.

[chazyboi]

carping i carry pyramid leads 2 to 3oz for silt ,,a few 2oz and 3 pears ,,,12 assorted pluss loads swan shot
sea fishing half dozen 5oz and 6oz grips if beach fishing for bass i will take just 5oz and in both break away and normal for rolling the bait round into gullies est

[chris.oldgit]

still quite a 'few' then lol

gonna get me trolley out for walker areas.

[chazyboi]

i tend to fish tight in snaggy banks on my lake for carp and loose the odd one or two ,,i have run out of 6oz before now when sea fishing and gone mad trying to hold bottom with 5oz so i do take a few lol

[chris.oldgit]

hhmmm thats my point exactly

[pingu]

some local beaches here as flat sand will only usually take 4 leads, 2 each rod and 2 just in case( usually crack off rather than snag)

usual amount mixed areas is 6 with 2 being no grip

snaggy well can lose loads so take loads of spark plugs

if you are close to car leave extras in there and save lugging them

I take every single one I own!

All 4 of them.

There was a time when I would take more tackle than I could get through in half a dozen sessions.These days I manage to restrict myself to taking only what I will actually need!

Take a doz or so Chris on my rough ground trips but always plenty stones around if i run out. Tape and light mono always on hand to save the day.
