Types and characteristics of lead sheets
2022-07-14

Lead itself has a silvery white metallic luster. The lead skins that we often come into contact with in fishing activities can be roughly divided into two types, one is the lead skin that maintains the original color of the lead metal, and the other is the lead skin that adds a colored coating to the surface. Lead skin with high lead content is soft in texture and weak in ductility, but has strong extensibility, and the surface in contact with the air is prone to oxidation reaction and lose its original luster. The coated lead sheet is mainly to reduce the chance of people coming into contact with the lead element, and at the same time, it can reduce the negative effects caused by the oxidation of the lead sheet surface; the manufacturer claims that the colored lead sheet can reduce the vigilance of fish, The author has not experienced this in fishing, so I don't make a rash assertion.

In the process of fishing, lead sheets are an important accessory that fishermen cannot do without, but everyone has more or less found that some lead sheets are "easy to use", and some lead sheets are not "easy to use". The main link that affects the experience of using the lead sheet is whether the material selected by the manufacturer passes the test when making the lead sheet. In order to save materials or other purposes, many manufacturers add other metals such as tin into the lead, which makes the lead sheet feel very stiff, and it is very difficult to roll even the lead sheet with a low thickness. Secondly, this kind of lead sheet mixed with too many other metals will have a lot of troubles during use. For example, the flexibility of the lead sheet is not good. Even if it is rolled on the lead sheet seat, it is very prone to breakage, damage, etc. , which will seriously affect the system balance of the entire rig and waste a lot of precious fishing time.

When purchasing lead sheets, we will find that there are many types of lead sheets, the first is thickness, the second is width, and the length of the entire lead sheet. The thickness will directly affect the amount of lead we roll. When we use a float fishing with a large lead load, using a lead sheet with a higher thickness will directly reduce the cross-sectional area on the lead sheet seat, thereby effectively reducing water resistance. . And when we use the trumpet float to catch small fish, the low-thickness lead sheet is very soft, which is very convenient for our fishing operation. During the drifting process, the thin lead sheet will greatly reduce the error of the fisherman cutting off too much lead sheet. The width of the lead sheet is introduced in the chapter of the lead sheet seat. This width mainly controls the parameters of whether the lead sheet can match the lead sheet seat. Original article by Fishing House.

We will introduce some common lead sheets. One is the lead sheet with different thickness but the same width; the other is the lead sheet size that has been cut by the manufacturer according to the lead sheet seat; and the other is the lead sheet that needs to be cut by the fisherman according to his own lead sheet seat.
