Fishing leashes

Fishing leashes are defined sections of dense fishing line, at one end of which there is a small carabiner for fixing lures, and at the other end there is a swivel. One of the main purposes of such a leash is to protect the line from possible biting, as well as from twisting the baits used. In addition, it helps to protect the tackle from sudden jerks during long-term fishing of an aggressive predator.

Manufacturers offer a large selection of all kinds of leashes made of fluorocarbon material and nylon line. Also, anglers can work with steel, titanium or nickel ropes.

Choosing leashes for fishing: size and length

When choosing suitable fishing leashes , it is important to pay special attention to two main criteria - the diameter and the maximum permissible length. Further comfort in the process of fishing "hunting" will depend on the correct choice of such characteristics:

• The diameter of the leader in relation to the main line. In this case, the already well-proven rule works: the thinner the line, the more often fish attacks on the proposed baits. Therefore, the diameter of the leash should correspond to the diameter of the main line: deviations can be minus 0.02 mm - no more.
• The length depends on the activity of underwater inhabitants in the reservoir and the number of frequent bites. Additional criteria are a specific type of fish and the presence / absence of an undercurrent in a specific water body. In such a situation, the rule works: the more activity the fish is, the shorter the leash should be. Although long options are considered to be more elastic and durable, bite signals will be transmitted to the angler with some delay, which can cost a good catch.

Fishing leashes , the price of which is particularly democratic, are presented from different manufacturing companies. The most popular are products from such well-known brands as Fanatik and Select.
