Korda Distance Casting Swivel Lead

This is the shape to reach for when the spot is a long way out. The weight sits forward in the nose, which keeps the lead pointing where it was aimed rather than wandering, and Korda credit that same stability for its hooking efficiency.

It is Danny Fairbrass's own preference for open-water fishing at range – three rods on a baited area only feet apart – on the basis that it goes exactly where you put it.

Which weight?

• 3oz – the everyday distance weight, and where to start if you are unsure.
• 3.5oz – more punch into a headwind or across a tow.
• 4oz – the heaviest of the three we stock, for the longest casts and heavier gear.

Specification

• Nose-heavy shape for long-range casting
• Very stable in flight, with good hooking efficiency
• Korda make it from 1.5oz to 5oz
