Ive checked a few suppliers and no one seems to sell traditional inline Zipp leads still ?
Anyone know lead boys who sell these old skool leads ?

I'd like to know aswell.. but I think your going to struggle. Just not fashionable anymore. The closest I could get were simular to the distance lead Korda made but an inline version. Not as streamlined as the Zipp. But close. Bought them for fishing in heavy weed. I remember Jim Gibbinson saying them online Zipps were the best for that type of fishing as the weed didn't tend to glog up around the lead to much compared to a swivel lead. Let us know if you find somewhere.

theyre a great shape for fishing in weed, allowing less weed build up or snagging due to the tapered shape. Slightly weight forward, helping casting and hooking.
Ive checked several lead producers web sites without any success. Which surprised me.
Same for larger 5oz+ pear leads. They use to be popular but cant find any of those either

Have a look at g-leads on FB.
Belgian based, but does inline distance leads up to 130 gram (comes close to zipps) and swivel pear leads up to 265gram.

I'd like to get hold of some round, pear inlines (without sides) but never found one so far.

i've still got a couple of the OG roger and kerry inline leads, lots of garden shed lead makers now sell roger & kerry style leads, might be worth asking them
