WHERE TO USE THE SQUARE PEAR LEAD
Without any doubt, when fishing on a hard gravel bottom inline leads hook the carp quicker than swivel type leads. The reason for this is that the fish always pick up the lead from the heavy end first, because the hooklink is always attached to the heavy end of the lead. In the case of Korda inlines the swivel is actually semi-fixed inside the lead, exaggerating the 'instant bolt' effect. Designed to be the most condensed shape of lead possible, so a fish would have to move the minimum distance before it felt the full weight of the lead.
As an inline there is no lead out there that the fish will feel the full weight of more instantly. Even as a swivel lead the fish will still feel more of the weight sooner because it's so short and one end of the lead is almost the same as the other. Only the movement of the swivel will affect a difference. So in short, you have the most condensed inline lead and swivel lead there can be, with flat sides.
