Full details
The Thinking Anglers Leadcore in Green is an essential choice for carp anglers seeking a highly discreet and supple leader material that conforms perfectly to complex lake-bed contours.

FAQs
What is the breaking strain of this leadcore?
This Thinking Anglers Leadcore is rated at 45lb.
Can this be used on gravel pits?
Yes, the supple nature allows it to lie flush on gravel, making it an excellent choice for such venues.
Why is the lead wire thinner than other brands?
The thinner wire is used to increase the overall suppleness of the leader, allowing it to follow lake-bed contours more effectively.
Does the color fade quickly?
The alternating color sections are designed to be durable, though it is recommended to keep them out of direct sunlight during storage to maximize longevity.
Is this leadcore easy to splice?
Yes, due to its supple nature, it is relatively straightforward to splice using a standard splicing needle.
Troubleshooting
Splice keeps pulling out during casting
Ensure you are using a long enough splice (at least 30-40mm) and that the outer sheath is pulled tight over the core.
Outer sheath bunching up during use
Check for obstructions within the core and ensure the lead wire is correctly seated; smooth the sheath back down gently with a damp cloth.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up this leadcore, use a thin splicing needle to feed the line back into itself for a strong, streamlined join. Because the material is exceptionally supple, ensure your splices are long enough to provide a secure lock. For compatibility, it works exceptionally well with standard lead clips, helicopter sleeves, and various tungsten beads.
To care for your leadcore, inspect the outer sheath after every few captures, especially if you have been fishing near sharp rocks or mussel beds. If you notice signs of fraying or wear on the sheath, replace that section immediately to maintain the 45lb strength integrity. Store away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods to preserve the color pattern and the integrity of the inner lead core.
