NASH Distance Swivel Lead Sinker

Product benefits

The NASH Distance Swivel Lead is a carp fishing sinker specially developed for demanding anglers seeking long casting distances, an effective rig presentation and uncompromising reliability. Its classic teardrop shape with a rounded nose, combined with a forward center of gravity, offers an excellent balance of aerodynamics, accuracy and bottom-holding. This distance swivel lead stands out for its ability to travel far while remaining perfectly stable in flight, reducing the risk of tangles and improving the consistency of your casts.

Designed for modern carp fishing, this long-distance carp lead helps optimise the performance of bolt rigs. The forward-weighted design increases the pivot effect when the fish takes the bait, promoting better hook holds. The Distance Swivel Lead integrates easily with most lead-clip systems and swivel rigs, making it a very versatile choice suitable for large lakes as well as gravel pits, canals or rivers with moderate current. Robust and reliable, it meets the needs of carp anglers who regularly fish at mid and long range.

Advantages and key features

The main asset of the NASH Distance Swivel Lead lies in its unique combination of casting distance and control. Thanks to its studied shape, the lead follows a tight, predictable trajectory, allowing you to target a margin, a shoal or a clear spot located with a fishfinder or marker rod. This precision is a decisive advantage when you need to place the bait on a small productive area or avoid submerged obstacles.

Its forward-weighted design reinforces the self-hooking effect of modern carp rigs. When the fish sucks in the bait and moves away, the lead acts as a true anchor point, increasing the rate of secure hook-ups. Paired with a well-balanced rig, this swivel lead helps convert more bites into landed fish. Its robust construction and NASH quality ensure long service life, even with intensive use on snaggy or long-distance spots.

Usage tips

To get the most from the Distance Swivel Lead, adapt the weight to your rod/reel setup and the distances you want to achieve. A heavier lead favours very long casts and good holding in current, while a lighter weight offers more discretion at short to mid range. Always check the condition of the swivel and lead clip before each session to ensure a safe and effective rig.

On snaggy swims or weedy spots, pair this lead with a rig designed to reduce hang-ups and facilitate the retrieval of the fish. Using a stripper or reinforced hooklink is recommended for powerful long-distance casts. Before fishing, make a few test casts to verify trajectory, accuracy and bottom-holding. Finally, always comply with local regulations regarding lead use and follow responsible environmental practices.
