The right Fishing Weights for every fishing technique
Fishing Weights are just as important to many anglers as the bait itself. They ensure that your rig sinks properly, you can cast further, and your bait reaches exactly the desired depth. Only when surface fishing is lead unnecessary. In almost all other fisheries, it is an essential part of your equipment – whether you are fishing with the feeder, fishing statically for carp, or aiming for perch from the beach.
A type of lead for every fishing style
The range of Fishing Weights is enormously varied. For float fishing with the fixed rod, you usually use a few grams of squeeze lead. But if you go wreck fishing or fishing at long distances, leads of 100 to 300 grams are not uncommon. Swivel Leads, inline leads, dropshot leads, anchor leads, and method feeders – each type has its own function and advantages. For example, when carp fishing, you often choose inline leads to let the fish hook itself, while for surfcasting you need an anchor lead to maintain grip on the sandy bottom.
Our webshop makes choosing easy. We have divided the Fishing Weights into clear categories so you can quickly find the right type. For frequently used types of lead, we also offer value packs – ideal for the frequent angler who likes to save a bit.
Responsible fishing with lead alternatives
More and more sport anglers are consciously choosing lead-free alternatives. Lead is harmful to the environment when it remains in the water. Fortunately, there are excellent alternatives made of stone, iron, copper, or tungsten. Tungsten is especially popular for finesse techniques such as dropshotting. Due to its high specific gravity, you can use smaller, more compact weights that are also extra sensitive – you feel every tap and every bottom structure perfectly.
Stone weights are a sustainable choice for carp fishing. Slightly larger, but completely environmentally friendly and well compatible with modern rigs. This way you fish effectively and responsibly.
Tips for choosing the right lead
When selecting Fishing Weights, it is important to pay attention to:
-
The distance you want to cast
-
The total weight of your rig
-
The bottom structure and current of your spot
-
The fishing technique you apply
Whether you fish with a paternoster on lugworm from the coast, aim for bream with a method feeder, or hunt Predator Fish with a dropshot rig: the right lead makes the difference. It provides stability, better bait presentation, and increases your chance of success.
