During many angling sessions on various waters, team member Marcel and his angling buddy have experienced that in many situations the fishing lines do not lie properly on the bottom. That’s why they started experimenting with two back leads. When you are angling in slightly flowing water, or angling over a deep channel, the line may start to float above the deepest point of the bottom. Even if you have a sinking line, it will never lie completely taut on the bottom. If you want to be sure that your fishing line lies well and gradually on the bottom, you can choose to fish with two back leads. Use a 10-gram back lead for this, which you attach over your line. The second back lead is one with a line clip and cord, which you attach to your rod pod.
How exactly do you proceed?
Place the hook bait in its place and attach the 10-gram back lead to your main line. Now hold your rod tip as high as possible in the air and let the back lead slide as far as possible over the line and sink towards the deepest point of the water, so that the line is pressed well onto the bottom. Then place the 2nd back lead with line clip on the line and let it sink. When you get a bite, the 2nd back lead with line clip will shoot off your line, so you always play only with 1 back lead. If you fish in this way, you will never suffer from boats that can drag the lines and your fishing line will not float in a curve in flowing water. An additional advantage: ”When you are playing the fish, if it seeks the depths, it cannot pick up other lines so quickly”.
You can apply this trick to different types of water & in different situations, good luck!
I have been fishing all my life, but the carp bug started around when I was sixteen, in the western part of the country where I was born. I was less active in fishing for a few years, but the passion runs where it cannot be suppressed. Fishing truly brings me peace, being out in nature, and feeling the adrenaline rush when the bite alarm goes off. Besides carp fishing, I enjoy experimenting with everything related to carp fishing.
Are the carp no longer baiting?
