Product Information

Full details

The Gardner Target Barbel Tungsten Back Leads are designed for dedicated river anglers who need to pin their main line to the riverbed to avoid spooking fish. These 6g non-toxic tungsten-polymer leads offer an excellent balance of weight and discretion, effectively concealing the last few feet of your line without constant tangles. While they provide superior stealth for barbel fishing, anglers should note that they are specifically optimized for river conditions and may behave differently in heavy weed or stagnant water scenarios.

FAQs

Are these leads safe for the environment?

Yes, these are constructed from non-toxic tungsten-polymer materials.

Can I use these with braided main lines?

Yes, the smooth bore is designed to work with both monofilament and braided lines without causing damage.

Do I need to retie my rig to use these?

No, the side-loading design allows you to attach or remove the leads at any point in your fishing session.

How many leads come in a pack?

Each pack contains 4 x 6g leads.

Will I lose my whole rig if the lead gets snagged?

No, the leads are designed to pull free from the line if they become wedged in a snag, ensuring you don't lose your entire terminal setup.

Troubleshooting

The lead falls off the line too easily during the cast

Ensure the line is fully seated within the central bore and verify that the line diameter is compatible; you may need to apply a slight tension on the line when sliding it in.

Line feels sluggish when moving through the lead

Check the internal bore for trapped silt or weed debris and rinse with water to ensure a smooth, debris-free path for your line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply hold the lead and guide your main line into the side channel. The tension of the design keeps the line in place while allowing it to slide during a strike. These leads are compatible with almost all standard monofilament and braided main lines.

Regarding care, ensure you periodically inspect the slit to ensure it is free of grit or sand that could potentially abrade your line. After a session in silty or sandy conditions, rinse the leads with fresh water and dry them before storage to maintain the matte finish and prevent premature wear of the polymer coating.
