Anyone had any problems with Korda's tungsten weighted clear/greeny leader's?
For as long i can rememberI have alway's mademy own leadcore leader's when i need them,they last for age's and have served me well.Like many other angler's i sometime's but something I dont need but feel like trying when i browse the tackle shop's'
The Korda leader's caught my eye,I was low onleadcore and thought i'd give the Kordas a try.
I could see no specific instruction on the best method of attaching the leader to my mainline(15lb Big Game,a thick line),the picture looked like a grinner and as that's whatI usually use for my leadcore I used it to connect the Korda leader.I was using 4oz's and not casting more than 50-70yard's,I only made 4 cast's in total on the leader and had 2 carp neither of which were monsters.
I often check hook's knot's etc and to my horror noticed that my mainline had almost cut through the loop on the leader,This could of meant a crack off or lost fish,both with a baited rig left in the lake.I checked the other leader and it was starting to look dodgy too.
I threw the leaders in the bin where they belong and have emailed Korda expressing my concerns.Iwas not asking for a refund/freebie's etc and I have yet to recieve a reply from them.
Anyone else???????????????????????????/forum/smilies/confused_smiley.gif
I am either a ham fisted oaf or the leader's were bad,I did tie the knot's carefully
