In carp and bottom fishing, the weight determines not only the distance but also the behavior of the entire rig after it falls on the bottom. Shape matters in current, slope and uneven terrain, while the way you connect decides whether you need a swivel or inline stacking option. Soft aggravations serve to fine-tune the leader, not to basically cast.

Carp Weight (lead) AVID GRIPPER LEAD is directed to places with underwater current. The strongly pronounced relief supports the retention, and the channel through the middle allows the leader to lie lower in the water. This is a reasonable choice when a plain smooth shape is moved, but the selected weight must still be consistent with the stick and rig.

To set the end part Soft lead Kodex Super-Heavy Tungsten Putty gives another type of control. The high tungsten content makes it suitable for pressing a section of the line to the bottom. The color options are matte gray and herbaceous green. Tungsten aggravation Fox Edges Tungsten Sinkers performs a similar task as a ready-made item available in Standard and LARGE, ten pieces per pack.

The weight is chosen according to the strength of the current, the desired distance and the upper limit marked on the stick. Too light lead may not remain at the selected point, and excessive loads the cast without need. On a soft or grassy bottom, also consider how the shape will lie down, instead of deciding only by number on the label. On a hard stretch, it looks for stability, while on a silt it monitors the weight not to sink excessively.

When rigging with swivel, inspect the connection and freedom of movement of the connecting elements. In inline configuration, check that all parts are compatible in diameter and stacked according to the design of the rig. Before a power throw, take a short test off the coast: so you will see twisting, an irregularly lying down leader or unstable fastening in time.

After harvesting, clean the stuck silt from the relief and inspect the swivel for deformation. Store the soft tungsten mass in a closed container to stay clean and comfortable to shape; only the required amount. Keep minor aggravations in a separate compartment, because the loss of one size often forces you to change an already balanced water body leader.
