Lead core's virtues have given it a considerable following. It does sink to the bottom, is abrasion resistant, helps prevent tangles and it does not have the "cheese cutter" action on the fish's flanks. But it also has some real shortcomings. It is stiff and does not hug the bottom contours. The inner lead wire usually breaks after a few uses and pokes through the woven coating. And, of course, it contains lead which has the potential to cause problems if not handled and disposed of properly. Wacker B&T is very pleased to offer an exciting alternative to lead core. Our new "ANVIL" products have the virtues of lead core without the failings. It is a new, very dense material that sinks nearly as fast as lead core but it is very flexible. It will hug the bottom contours to avoid detection by the carp. It can be knotted but is also easy to splice. It does not have an inner wire to break - lasts much longer than lead core. We offer ANVIL in 10m spools for those who prefer to make their own leaders and in ready-to-use 1m leaders with a spliced loop at each end. Both are available in 40lb (0.75mm) and 80lb (0.9mm) break strengths. See the products here. Once you try them, you will never go back to lead core.
