I think back leads are very under rated they play a big part in my fishing soon as I fish for quite spooky carp on a small venue and I think they definitely help you get more bites
I use backleads for 90% of my carping weed or no weed the main reason that if you have 3 rods fishing close together and you have a run the lead prevents the carp from going through your other lines and making a right mess that you will need to sort out. As I spend a lot of time on rivers you get a lot of rubbish flowing down stream which backleads help avoid and on canels it helps with boat traffic so long as there is a good depth of water. And don't forget Swans and Geese.
Is this what's know as back ledgering. I saw that mentioned in a book by John Wilson as a technique for perch fishing, but there was no other reference to it anywhere else in the book, so I'm in the dark. Ray.
Hi Raymond, I'd imagine John was describing a method used while river fishing. Back ledgering is quite simply casting up river while ledgering rather that down river. In this video we are back leading, back leads pin the line down between the rod tip and baited rig to avoid spooking fish.
Good advice Glenn, Phil does mention the back leads will drop off if they do get stuck in weed or debris. But as you have mentioned not a great idea to use them on really weedy waters.

Totally agree
Love back leads, I use the fox Captive ones now.
I ALWAYS use a flying back lead unless super weedy and usually use a traditional back lead as well. Never have a problem with bite indication

@@AnglingDirectTV Thank you for clearing that up for me. Very much appreciated. Ray.
Forgot to mention, don't use the standard back lead on weedy lakes. Most will know for sure but not everyone will?
Tight lines😉

Alot call me crazy for using back leads....haha, but i love em.
It can definitely be an edge sometimes.
@@AnglingDirectTV yes, it surely can.
