AVID CARP - Retro Leads with Ian Russell

The Retro Lead range from Avid Carp features some of the most popular shapes from yesteryear.

With a super tough and durable coating, this range of leads will stand up to even the most extreme fishing conditions and will last much longer than some leads with a more modern paint finish.

The Retro lead range features a modern twist in the form of a new swivel mounting system.

The double barrel flexi ring swivel has been moulded directly into the top of the lead instead of being mounted on a conventional brass loop.

This helps to increase the bolt effect of the lead whilst also decreasing line twist and tangles during casting.

The retro leads are finished in our unique Outline Camo, which blends in perfectly on anything it lands on and matches the Outline Terminal Tackle range perfectly.

Distance Pear.
This retro shape is the ultimate streamlined design for casting extreme distances.

Distance Bottle.
This retro classic was widely used by big fish anglers all across Europe in the 90’s & was considered as one of the best shapes ever produced.

The Distance Bottle is the perfect general purpose shape for fishing a multitude of situations.

Flat Gripper.
The Flat Gripper is a favoured classic by river anglers all across Europe.
The raised tooth design helps to grip the bottom in flowing water and ensures that your lead arrangement and rigs remain exactly where you want them.

The Flat Gripper is also the perfect design for fishing steep marginal shelves where it’s imperative that your rigs remain in place.

Drop Off In-Line.
The perfectly centred weight distribution makes this classic shape the ideal choice for PVA bags. The lead features a subtle grove on one side for fishing drop off style and the rigid insert will accept a swivel or an Avid Quick Change Drop Off Stem.
This Drop off In-Line also features an In-line tail rubber, finished in our Outline camo.

Retro Leads are available from 1.5oz up to 4oz, in half ounce increment’s.
