Camo Plummet is a brand new ‘Disruption’ camo style leadcore, ideal for constructing the ultimate low-viz leaders.
These new lead cores include a heavier gauge lead inner to make sure that leaders are pinned down tight to the lake or river bed, and incorporate Gardner’s unique Disruption colour sectioning to help the leader blend into their environment.
Two colour choices are available. The Camo-Green version has been developed to superbly blend in with weedy venues, and it works beautifully amongst pond weeds, where a high proportion of the lake bed is covered with filamentous silk weed, and where the lake bed is covered with Chod. For anglers fishing gravel, sand and clay pits, and those technical anglers that utilise a marker float whilst setting traps to be certain the spots are cleaned off, then the Camo brown is the perfect choice, and offers exceptional leader camouflage on all these types of lake bed.
In common with the other lead core leaders in the Gardner Plummet range, Camo Plummet features a tightly woven braided outer that ensures that it is both easy to splice and ultra reliable.
Supplied on handy 10m spools.
- Diameter: 0.95mm.
- Superb tight woven braided outer, knots and splices easily.
- Extra heavy 0.60mm lead inner ensures leader is pinned down tight to the lake bed.
- Colours: Camo Green or Brown
- 35Ib (15.9Kg) breaking strain.
How to Splice Leacore
- What you need…
- In this instance we are using the new CamFlex Leadcore.
- Step 1 – Strip out approx. 4 inches (10cm) of lead wire from the centre of the Plummet or CamFlex Leadcore leader material.
- Step 2 – With the braided material pulled back over the lead wire feel where the lead wire finishes (it should be 4 inches from the end!).
- Step 3 – Insert the hooked end of the Splicing Needle in where the lead wire finishes.
- Step 4 – Once in place carefully thread the end of the splicing needle down the hollow core of the leader.
- Step 5 – Push the end of the needle out through the side of the leadcore material half way up towards the end as shown.
- Step 6 – Pick up the very end of the leadcore using the gate latch on the splicing needle. If you keep the section short as shown it will be easier to pull back into the hollow section
- Step 7 – When you tease the leader material back through the hollow sheath be gentle and don’t twist the needle (or it may snap) and push from the base upwards as this opens up the braid.
- Step 8 – When you have successfully pulled the material through the side wall continue pulling it gently back down through the hollow braid as shown.
- Step 9 – Once the core has been threaded through the outer sheath (before you have pulled everything tight to create a strong friction join) your splice should look like this.
- Step 10 – Run your fingers down the splice (away from the loop) to smooth and lay out the outer sheath. This will normally hide the end of the inner section as the splice elongates.
- Step 11 – Using a baiting needle tension the splice, by pulling on it, to finally set the splice in position.
