I had the same issue with my last 2 orders. He offered to recoat for me if I took them back, 4 hours each way or a hefty postage cost so I never did. I still havent fished this year so got plenty but when I start back and need a top up I will be looking st some of the options mentioned here. Shame as before that they were great

"Steves leads" are excellent quality and value. Check him out on facebook. He is in Hampshire too.

I've been using Johnson Ross' own brand leads. £7.50 for 5. Not the cheapest, but much cheaper than the major brands. Only been using them for a few months so can't comment long term but so far so good.

I use mp lead shed normally. But got my last lot from omc. They had an offer on with free postage so didnt cost me anymore than getting them from mp leadshed, and i didn't have to pick them up. Im not an omc or ali hamidi fan fyi, far from it, was purely a price and convenience thing, but they seem pretty decent so far. Not sure if the offers are regular but worth keeping an eye on. Otherwise, MP Leadshed is my go to. Never had any issues with them.

Do not bother with Westcountry leads,after recommendations on here I bought some.Utter junk,all the coating cracked and fell off,his answer was he would contact his guy that does the coating and put me some freebies in next order.Like im going order any leads again from there 🤣

Hi guys,

As above. I've been out of the lead game for a while because I used to buy in bulk. The last outfit I used was Liverpool Leads and I think that was before Lockdown 1.0 They've gone now, unfortunately; excellent leads, service etc. mind.

So who's good now? I'm sure someone must have picked up their slack 😀

I wasn't happy spending £2.80 per (Korda) lead in my local tackle shop recently, hence the post.

I'm happy for Facebook/Insta recommendations.

Thanks.
