Nick when fishing naked do you tend to just use a lead clip? Also do you find you have to use stiff rigs to avoid tangles?

Acts much much stiffer than lead core. it got changed from the decent stuff - I know people that were involved. new stuff is horrible in my opinion. that linkq stuff is meant to be decent though

Just got some Gardner lead free. Once you get the needle in it, absolute doddle to splice compared to the previous brand I tried

I don't use lead clips at all, always a run ring and running lead, either with slack line if there is no undertow or tight line if there is.

My hooklinks are usually braid or coated braid and I don't or rarely get tangles as I usually use a pva bag, stringer or mesh, and I nearly always hit the clip which pushes the hooklink away. The bottom of my syndicate doesn't lend itself very well to combi-rigs as the boom or stiff section would often be across weed.
The 'rarely' on tangles does happen when a blooming coot or tufty picks up the bait though.
