As carp fishing continues to grow in popularity, actually catching carp
has become more difficult. One of the most effective ways of catching the
carp off guard and achieving an advantage over other anglers is with careful
line concealment. Down Rigger backloads are designed to keep the mainline
pinned down, close to the lakebed where it cannot be seen or picked up by
the carp. The weight attaches to the line by a clip and slides down to rest
on the lakebed. In the event of it becoming trapped in weed or snags, it
will pull free, putting the angler back in direct contact with the fish.
Featuring an ergonomically designed moulded clip that allows fast and easy
single handed attachment. This removes the problems associated with trying
to hold the rod, line and backlead all at once. The clip itself is moulded
from a highly friction free material which has unique properties allowing it
to slide easily down either braided or mono mainlines. This helps both with
positioning the backlead and when playing a hooked fish. Backleads are also
useful when fishing multiple rod set ups, as they help to prevent other
lines being picked up when playing lively fish.
