Carpaholic Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hi Terry - The leads arrived and I am quite pleased. The sand color coating is very natural looking. I can't wait to try em out. One thing I already like is the thinner guage of wire on the 3 oz flat pears. Local sinker makers use such thick wire it is difficult to use Korda or Fox lead clips. These will do nicely. I'll let you know how I get on with them. All the best, Brian "Carpaholic" Nordberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I came to do the coating three of the leads I was not happy with, unfortunately I had run out of clips so could not re do them, and two of the coated leads had runs in the coat. So I put some extra styles in to partly make up, however I still owe you the 5 leads and will send them as soon as I catch up with my other orders.

jbrown Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 I went out on a very windy day to fish a lake Michigan WWD that I have fished since the late 60's. I has a very strong current and tons of sharp rocks to eat up whatever you thow in there. Over the years I've used just about every rig I could think of to fish it effectively. I had pretty much resigned myself to losing alot of gear and getting a few fish. Well I gave Terry's leads a try, I was ledgering for carp. I can't say I was successfull with the fish. No one else caught anything that day. I used 2 identical setups, rods, line, baits, etc. On one I used Terry's leads the other, another well known brand. The score was 3 lost leads on the well known brand and none on Terry's leads. As promised they would plane up when reeled in and avoid the hang ups. They held the bottom well as there were no extra chirps on my bite alarms. It's nice to find a fishing product that works this well. The finish is almost too pretty to fish and the different collors should get you a few more fish as the wieght will blend in with the bottom better. No paint chips in a long day of fishing. Terry, I'll be seening you at the Junior Carp Tournament and wish to purchase some more then, before hand as you know I'll be fishing the Larry for 2 weeks. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
