This is a sea angling forum for the debate of all angling related topics, including: shore fishing, boat and kayak fishing. Here you will find pictures of anglers going sea fishing and catching fish. You will find angling related debate. Sometimes anglers will retain fish for the table.

Soft Wire Grippers - Useful Or Useless ?
« on: November 15, 2007, 06:23:32 PM »
Quite a lot of the lads in our club like to use grip leads with very soft wires especially in kelp. What do people think of this idea ? Is it useful or useless. Personally I cant see any advantage over a normal gripper but my mind is open if people want to tell me why soft wire grips are best  :)

as long as the sea isn't too heavy glenn they are handy when fishing kelp/snaggy ground as the softer wires tend to pull out a bit easier.

 Plus the fact if you have long fixed wires on the lead  it stops the lead falling into cracks of scars and rocks etc , and the wire will just bend when you pull through the snags....
