Very practical, useful info, Jansen, thanks. I fish clean - mixed ground but v strong tides and was not convinced the lead was holding enough. Taken on tips here especially the importance of fixing in the wires so they do not flick out. 👍
Great demo but couldn't help wonder that the wires wouldn't have so much load on them if they were fitted higher up nearer the top of the lead. That would make them grip the sea bed a lot better and not be pushed free by strong tides.
When fishing in snaggy spots i use fixed wire leads with the wires coming out of the nose, and bent into a U shape with no corners. Just as i would use when uptiding from a boat. Dont (it seems) roll in the tide, and wont get caught up in line snags having no corners to trap it. Definitely have been losing less leads and rigs using them.

Good video, I've just started using skm leads and I've noticed the little plastic bits fall off the wire. I'll bend the wires this way now 👍
