NASH Leadcore Splicing Needle

Product benefits

The NASH leadcore splicing needle is an essential accessory for all carp anglers who want to make their own leadcore leaders that are clean, strong and precisely made. Specifically designed to work with braided leadcore sleeves, it allows neat splices while preserving the integrity of the material, producing long-lasting, reliable rigs.

Thanks to its reduced diameter and locking system, this leadcore splicing needle facilitates inserting the core line into the sleeve without fraying or damaging it. The hook securely holds the leadcore during the operation, limiting slippage and mistakes, even when working with very dense materials or tight sleeves.

The ergonomic handle with soft coating provides an excellent grip, even with wet or cold fingers. This carp fishing accessory is therefore suitable both for beginners who want to gain confidence and for experienced anglers seeking quick and consistent finishing of their leadcore rigs.

Advantages and strengths

By choosing this NASH splicing needle, you gain consistency and reliability when making your leadcore leaders. The thin shaft reduces the risk of cutting or weakening the sleeve, which minimizes material loss and improves the durability of your rigs during powerful fights with carp.

Its retaining hook helps keep the leadcore well positioned during each step, which is particularly useful when working in a cluttered peg or on the bank. You thus obtain tight, discreet and aligned splices, contributing to more natural and effective presentations on the bottom.

The comfortable handle reduces hand fatigue when producing multiple leaders, whether preparing for a long session or quickly adapting your rigs to fishing conditions. This carp rigging tool fits perfectly in a small tools kit alongside scissors, awls and bait needles, and will quickly become a must-have in your kit.

Usage tips

To get the most from your leadcore splicing needle, it is recommended to prepare the desired length of leadcore in advance and smooth the sleeve before starting. Work on a stable surface, always keeping sufficient tension on the leadcore to control the progress of the needle.

• Gradually insert the needle into the leadcore sleeve to the distance needed for your splice loop.
• Hook the core of the leadcore firmly with the provided hook.
• Then gently bring the core back into the sleeve, maintaining steady tension.
• Smooth the spliced area between your fingers to evenly distribute the material and obtain a uniform finish.
• Always check the strength of the splice before attaching other components (swivel, lead clip, anti-tangle sleeve, etc.).

After each use, quickly rinse the needle with fresh water if you have fished in dirty or slightly brackish water, then dry it before storage. Store it in a pouch or small accessories case to protect the tip and prevent it from snagging other items of your gear.
