KORDA CLASSIC PEAR SWIVEL FISHING LEAD
In 1.1oz (31g), 2oz (57g) or 3oz (85g)
(COLOURS MAY VARY)

The classic pear lead will cast a very long way, almost as far as the distance casting and it is less affected by cross winds because the shape is very condensed.
This means that the Pear lead is suited to most carp fishing situations when fishing anything up to the very limit of your casting ability.
The dumpy shape can be used to your advantage in silt.
Try using a very light Pear lead eg: 1.5oz or 2oz and actually let the lead plug into the silt, this will dramatically increase the resistance to a moving carp so what feels like a light lead in your hand is transformed into a heavy lead in the fishing situation.
The Pear lead is also ideal in a solid PVA bag because it can be pushed down into one of the corners, this makes the bag nose heavier and so more accurate.
