Quick question, anyone know why they are called “Roger and Kerry” leads?

I believe it is because Roger Smith or Kerry Barringer either made, or had the lead mould made to their spec. Great design

Thanks for that. Tried googling it, but only got a generic “probably named after the inventor or designer” answer, didn't actually say who Roger and Kerry are lol.

Roger Smith and Kerry Barringer. An Inspiration to many,

Great story tellers.
Savay Regulars ( plus other non publicity CV Waters )
Foreign pioneering adventures, to France, River Lot, Cassein, Salagou
Kerry was also the innovator behind the bobbin on a string, whilst monkey climbers were still the main indicator of choice by many.

Roger smith was also the invented of the rod holdall that would take made up rods. Kevin nash sold the first commercially available ones. Roll up type.

I also think he got the idea for his all in one quilted suits. From something simular Roger had made out of an old sleeping bags.

You coming here asking about leads. And you get a history lesson..
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
