Fishing Weights That Will CHANGE Carp Fishing!

[@nickm3140]

I’ve been using these for a while now, specifically the inline leads for my solid bag work in conjunction with there drop off kit/run rig system. Can’t fault em, evolve tackle has some great bits of other tackle as well.

[@stevenrobinson9370]

No need to drop lead. Being sold to fishermen to sell more leads. Also lead has been around for hundreds of years everyone is still here id be more worried about the human shite being dumped it the rivers than a lead.

[@matt01506]

My "lead-free" weights as a kid was nuts from my old mans toolbox ! (Tied straight on the line with a granny knot ! ) 😁

[@goplanit]

Save yourself some money by not dropping the lead when there is absolutely no fecking need most of the time. The numpties I see dropping every single time on a lake I fish, bottom is gravel all over without a snag in sight and the fish only go to mid 20s. It's just another 'fashionable thing to do' because that's what all the so called experts/companies think it's what you should do while they line their pockets with every fish you catch. Carp fishing has all got ridiculously complicated and full of tackle tarts. Keep it simple, it's cheaper and you'll probably catch more fish.

[@adamroots3429]

Your so right,look at some of the replies on here ,lol

[@Bullhead180]

Well said that man! I can't stand all this lead dropping and so called fashionable malarkey!!!! Glad I'm not alone in seeing thru this money making scam😅

[@mintob00m68]

Dropping leads on a weedy lake in summer is often necessary but I see ppl still dropping them in the winter….crazy!

[@shanejenkinson5671]

My input is that its another excuse for more carp tax

[@ChrisDevine-pm4gj]

I’ve been using the pallatrax stones for last two years , can’t fault them , but these look good , totally agree about lead being banned, dropping lead does have its place but not every time, just my opinion, happy new year to one and all🥂🎣🎣

[@gerrardwilliams964]

Cheers buddy

[@goplanit]

Pallatrax stones, hilarious, obviously love wasting money then.

[@Kingcarparpeggio]

@@goplanit : I didn’t know they still were for sale. I had some free stuck to the front of a magazine when they first came out .They were never going to take off. I threw mine in the lake in an attempt to cover the discarded leads that some uncaring angler had dumped.😂😂😂

[@stevenrice148]

Crazy money. And leads won't get banned any time soon

[@alanstebbings2886]

Ok they're branded but locally lead weights are that sort of price in my area

[@terrybirks8538]

Bought some stonze weights some time ago and didn’t use them because I thought they stood out much more than a normal coated weight.

[@Kingcarparpeggio]

What did you do with them ……..throw them in the lake 😂😂😊

[@goplanit]

You got sucked in to that nonsense!

[@Pr0ject2]

Can anyone give me some advice please? Im looking at buying some nash scope 10ft rods. Im undecided between 3tc and 3.25 tc. I fish 2 lakes, one with 10-30lbs carp and one with 40lbs carp. Sometimes i pva bag. Dont want to be overgunned for the smaller ones and dont want to be undergunned for the big ones. Trying to find a happy medium. Cheers in advance 👍

[@gerrardwilliams964]

Hi mate I use my 10ft 3.25tc scopes for 90% of my fishing 🎣 including large lakes to smaller lakes with a big variety of carp and they are perfect 👌🏻

[@Pr0ject2]

@gerrardwilliams964 legend thank you Gerrard. Been doing my head in for ages. Currently got some 12ft 3lb soniks and to be fair they're not bad at all for the money but they're too long for the lakes I fish. Im not the type to want a million rods for each occasion so one type that can do it all is spot on. That nash r10 holdall looks amazing too. Everything in one case pretty much

[@Stannystansfield]

They look nicely finished but massive in size. Rather than wholesale bans I’d prefer to see some data and proper research on say carp waters where there are a higher likelihood of dropped leads. Let’s see how much lead is actually leaching out of fishing weights and have some data about lead content in water. The results might be so insignificant to the point where there might not be a need to ban lead… there is equally the flip side where the levels are high and they are risk to human health. Let’s see the results and have the discussions

[@gerrardwilliams964]

Great feed back mate thank you

[@meanmr.mustard]

Iron comes close to the resisting weight of actual lead on a lake bed. Iron for instance is much better than stone. No joke. I have a list of weight products in correct order. There's even a formula to calculate the actual weight resistente under water of certain products.

[@jasoncarty2175]

Love em,why not, environmentally friendly,everyone should be using these,I definitely will be,well done lads,can you have them orderd for delivery or just pop in shop?

[@MarkWhitworth-q4i]

Please can someone explain why they'd ban lead weights of that size ?? Lead isn't soluble , has been used as domestic water pipe for 200 years and can't be consumed by animals

[@chrisbyrne3677]

Dropping leads is out of control I've fished some lakes in Europe where you find the spots by prodding till you find a pile of weights

[@BF4pawntard]

I have scuba dived in a local syndicate lake “ with permission of the owner “ during close season and I was absolutely stunned at the amount of lead weights I see . The only people pushing you to drop the lead are those making and selling them and there is absolutely no need to . All the nonsense about fish coming to the surface because there is no lead etc is just bs

[@briansilver6196]

Lead dropping should have been banned years ago ,people go on about fish care and surroundings care but your happy to pollute the water with leads just to catch a fish ,well fish somewhere less snaggy ,and clubs ban mallets cos the od person moans about scaring fish 😅😅😅 what about 2 idiots turning up and spending 20 minutes smashing up the lake with there stupid spodding ,theres some stupid rules out there

[@alantyler5079]

Not to happy that lead may be banned. The cost will definitely increase. Same happened to shotgun amo over water. The replacement are not as good as lead. shot cartridges. Lead had been used for hundreds of years for various applications water pipes etc. Will be interested in having a look at the new weights. But maybe a better solution than lead?

[@carpykeith]

Can still get Stonze from Pallatrax! I had to buy some for a lake that had a lead free rule! It’s closed now I believe!

[@jimbob71]

Go the beach buy a gd drill and some epoxy make your own

[@goplanit]

Yes Pallantrax, garbage products for a massive price.

[@leeramskill2683]

Can only use steel shot near waterways in shooting so only follows fishing will be next

[@MrB-j5h]

Not policed though, and lead shot are still fine to use everywhere else. It's not happening any time soon.

[@WillParish]

I’ve been weighting for this for a long time

[@alanrobinson8437]

If lead was detrimental to water quality we wouldnt have any fish anywhere. Lets make a substitute and charge the punters £3 a time. Commercial bullshit.

[@meanmr.mustard]

Bet you don't have lead water piping in your house... Or maybe you do. Hence your answer. People keep dropping the stuff and it doesn't help the issue. It only leads up to more lead and bigger risks of it going wrong - and certainly to people making comments on political level about it. Have you ever seen a survey of the amounts of lead fishermen lose every year..? It was rediculously much. Kilo's pp.

[@alanrobinson8437]

@meanmr.mustard yes, so there will be tons of lead substitute instead. Invent a lead system that detaches from the rig but comes back. Now thats difficult.

[@adamroots3429]

Lead dropping ,...mmmmmm..how many drop their leads unessessarily in small snag free ponds .. Only one winner,and thats Antis and Dannys lastest project from all that bs ,dumping leads will haunt us all...,wait and see... Think for yourselves

[@colnevalleycarping]

These weights have to be priced more competitively, otherwise most people will go to small type manufacturers and still use leads. Who will enforce the ban? When’s the last time anyone was stopped by an EA bailiff? Club/syndicate bailiffs, the police? I’m not against the idea they just need a more realistic price

[@amsealtd]

Sure Nutra baits do something like this on there web site

[@AndrewAaron-vl7ij]

Nutrabaits do some non lead weights don’t they (econcretes)

[@gerrardwilliams964]

Yes they do mate , we have them in the shop

[@AndrewAaron-vl7ij]

The best part about the econcretes is they can be soaked in your chosen liquid food to add more attraction in the swim.

[@richardcarter1000]

It's a shame that everything marketed as better for the environment always has to be more expensive

[@dannybartlett4225]

Awesome company been using for over a year now and find them better the lead especially when looking for spots wow top top draw

[@WickersleyAnglingMediav2]

Great to hear!

[@jimbob71]

Go on amaze me why they are better for finding spots than a lead of equal size

[@MrB-j5h]

​@jimbob71 Because they are made of a harder material. You feel a lot more. Why they don't make them out of tungsten is beyond me. They would be smaller than a lead of the same weight. Cost, probably.

[@SuperBreakline]

Fantastic and the price is spot on

[@Carpingabout]

Stupid money. Think I'll wait until someone else starts making cheaper ones, like they do now with leads. Until then, I'll stick to my semi fixed set up to prevent dropping them into the lake. Unless I get a crack off that is.

[@BarryGibson-e6x]

First of all what’s in the leads if not lead cos it’s difficult to get the weight without lead plus why is it promoted to drop the lead when 99% of the time their no need not to mention the leads covering the bottom of lakes, don’t get me wrong I drop the lead but only when essential fishing for a bite on tricky weedy or snaggy lakes when a few bites a season is the norm

[@ReeceDunn-sq3fh]

Im in favour but there extremely exspensive when i can pay 80p a lead. It would be ok if you didnt have to dump the lead in certain situations. But unfortunately you have to for the safety of the carp and to land it.

[@joeking57]

No need to dump a lead.... If ur ever in a fishing situation where u think u should dump a lead because its weedy etc just use small leads... It's all made out so the angler has to keep buying and buying and buying. Same as them 1 fish hooks... Absolutely pointless

[@Kingcarparpeggio]

You’re not buying leads from shops for 80p. Retailers have premises to pay for and staff….not back street garage operations.

[@ReeceDunn-sq3fh]

@@Kingcarparpeggio what I'm not doing is be forced to charge silly prices for something as little as 3 once of lead because the big brands are dictating the price. This is nothing against Wickersley or any other shop just facts

[@goplanit]

I've never had to dump a lead to land a carp, how is losing 2 or 3 ounces going to help you land a 20lb+ carp?

[@Kingcarparpeggio]

@ReeceDunn-sq3fh : You didn’t explain where you’re buying 3 or 4 oz leads for 80p each…..not in any shop. You either make them yourself or you’re buying them from someone else that’s making them in their garage . I make my own and you can’t sell them for 80p and make any worthwhile money from that. Try and see…….you’ll soon get fed up with being someone else’s mug.

[@andym5900]

Didn’t this happen back in the day ? I remember fishing with copper leads over 40 years ago

[@Kingcarparpeggio]

Copper leads ????…..that’s an Oxymoron!! 😂😂😂😂

[@markcopley4317]

Brilliant about time👍

[@Lee-Wood-DK]

I think it is about time it happened tbh. The only reason Korda, Nash, Fox, (and sea weight manufacturers such as Breakaway and Gemini) and others haven't done it is purely profit and / or greed ! Lead is cheap as chips pr kilo to buy and manufacturer with.

[@Kingcarparpeggio]

You buy some lead then and make your own and see. When you’ve finished dipping your hand in your pocket for, moulds,clamps, cooker and gas ( you’ve probably already got those,) wire loops and swivels, coating powder, gloves 🧤…..then see whether you’d sell for 50p each. You might do if you like working for free !!!,

[@portcullis5622]

Chips are actually relatively expensive in my local fish and chip shops. More than £3 for a 'regular' portion and nearly £4 for 'large'. Maybe 3 or 4 potatoes per portion. When you look at the wholesale price of potatoes, many shops are making a decent profit on chips.

Be real, 2,1£ for one lead ( ore what ever it is ), that is a huge price tag!!! And then you go too a lake where you need to dump the lead ( lake rules ), I mean you could buy 3-4 leads for the price of that non-toxic one. Good thinking, but a really high price too pay.

Are you living in a dream world. Why don’t you get yourself some moulds and all the other stuff you’ll need ( you’ll work it out as you go) and see if you can sell them for 50p each. Complete dreamer !!

[@goplanit]

As much as I think these are overpriced you clearly have no idea of what it's cost to research new technology. have new equipment manufactured to produce a new product. Surprisingly they would like to get their money back and make a profit. Probably down the line somewhere someone will copy their product and bring it to the market for half the price.

[@ianglamb]

£2.10 per weight is daylight robbery, I pay less than a third of that for a 4oz lead so it's a no from me.
