Fox Sliders Backleads
October 9, 2007 – 2:16 pmSliders Backleads 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 backleads 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.
