What sort of leads do you use 
Most of my fishin is short range so i use 2oz pears or the square pears  Alot of people on my water use 3 to 4oz distance lead  Iits a small water of about 3 to 4acres with the longest cast of about 110yrds now i can hit the far bank with a 2.5oz lead  |

bit of a mixture kev!
been using some 3oz in-lines for a while which i've coated myself.
had a look in the margins to see whats there and matched it .
came out quite wel
3oz because i think it gives a bit of resistance once the baits been
picked up, also using slightly longer rigs to give the fish a bit more
confidence around the lead (if they see it  )

mixture of various korda ones, been looking at franks leads though, looking for cheaper price with quality as i find korda is ok but not the beginning and the end , but also i think they are a bit pricey, and i reckon if you buy 5 or more at a time they should be cheaper. i'm tight!

franks leads are "QUALITY"
he'll also make what you want.
i asked for some 3oz long distance in gravel and they were great!!
and they're cheap!
cheaper than korda

I use a load of different ones but it would be the dung square pear or the gravel version range from 2oz 4oz 5oz if i am lowering from a boat.
I tend to buy bulk when I can rather than mail order.

There you are
There are swiivels fitted into the top of the leads not just the brass loops sticking out or the swivels can be put on the loop like on the square pears. At the moment i can only put the swivels on the loops on the pears and square pears  All the swivels are tested to a breakin strain of 184lbs |
