This new superb flecked, ultra supple CamFlex Plummet leadcore offers excellent camouflage as the broken flecked pattern breaks up the visual solid line of the leadcore and helps each colour leader material blend more effectively into the natural aquatic environment.
CamFlex leadcore features a smooth finish, tightly braided outer which is easy to splice strongly. It has a super-dense (0.5mm) lead inner core that is the softest and most supple available, which helps to ensure that leaders, constructed with CamFlex, settle flush to the lake bed keeping them tucked away. This means they are less visible in the daytime and less likely to be touched by feeding fish nosing around the baited area.
It’s perfect for all uses – from long running chod rigs and helicopter rigs, to more conventional running rigs and even free lining in marginal spots. CamFlex offers increased abrasion as well which can be useful when fishing near bars, weed, rocks or other underwater hazards!
Here at Gardner we’re big leadcore fans – as know that a well constructed rig with a good leadcore not only adds stealth to the terminal tackle but also additional robustness. The higher diameter of a leadcore is kinder as it is less likely to lift scales as we play fish to the bank.
*Please ensure that your rigs allow for the separation of the hooklink form the leader – we recommend well constructed helicopter rigs for this purpose and using leadcore with a high quality strong mainline to effectively negate any possible risks associated with using a leader.

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.
