The only problem I see with some of those shapes is that they may have a tendency to snag up amongst the huge rocks that exist in the most barbelly stretches of the Trent.

I've not as yet lost any in the rocks on the Ribble. And boy is it rocky!
All leads on the Ribble get snaged up and I find that if it's rocks they are snaged on, a slack line and a move down the river 20 yds to give you a different directional pull usually free's the lead.
It's also noticable that more feeders are lost than leads.

Ron,
I was reading "Buller & Falkus's "Encyclopedia of Coarse Fishing" at the weekend & there is reference in the float fishing section to a "Ron" lead!Its a lead which winds on to the line when you want to lay on overdepth & avoids the need to pinch on shot.Should we honour you as the inventor?
PS are we seeing you in Hampshire at the season's end?

we used to use a piece of lead wire for that ---by winding a piece around your disgorger or similar like a spring
then you could add or remove as you wanted

hi phil, when i was talking to you the other night it somehow escaped me that it was your article we were discussing, i went to the waa section of river we talked about, i lost a few of them little feeders i showed you, i will get kitted out to make my own as i for one cannot afford the losses the ribble incurs.
