Product Information

Full details

The Fox Edges Naturals Copper-Core Leader is designed for dedicated carp anglers seeking a heavy, high-performance connection that conforms perfectly to the lakebed. By utilizing a supple linked copper core, this leader provides the sinking density required for technical fishing while maintaining a flexibility that far exceeds standard leadcore, though its increased weight means anglers should exercise care when casting to avoid tangles.

FAQs

What is the breaking strain of the Copper-Core leader?

The leader is rated at 50lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty carp fishing.

Is this leader safe to use on all venues?

Always check your local fishery rules, as some venues prohibit the use of lead or metallic-core leaders.

How long is the spool?

Each spool contains 7 meters of Copper-Core leader material.

Does the copper core affect the weight of the leader?

Yes, the copper core provides significant density, helping the leader sink rapidly and stay pinned to the lakebed.

Can I use standard leadcore splices with this?

Yes, the construction allows for standard splicing techniques used with traditional leadcore.

Is it stiff like traditional leadcore?

No, it is significantly more supple and flexible, designed to contour better to the lakebed.

Troubleshooting

Leader is kinking or twisting during the cast

Ensure you are using a slightly slower, smoother casting action to allow the heavier copper core to travel through the air without whipping.

Difficulty splicing the material

Ensure your splicing needle is the correct size for the braid thickness and that you have removed a small section of the copper core before inserting the needle into the hollow core.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional sinking density compared to lead-free alternatives
Highly flexible and supple for better presentation
High 50lbs breaking strain for demanding fishing situations
Easy to splice for tidy, reliable terminal tackle connections

Cons

Slightly heavier than standard lead-free alternatives requiring care during casting
Copper core may require extra attention during cutting to ensure a clean splice
Limited to a 7m spool length

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure that you use a standard splicing needle to create your loops. When cutting the material, use sharp, dedicated braid scissors to prevent fraying the woven outer sheath. Always check your leader after landing a large fish or dragging it through heavy weed, as the outer layer can sustain wear. To maintain the leader's integrity, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure that your lead connection is always balanced to the breaking strain of your main line for safety.
