NASH Tournament Swivel Lead

Product highlights

The NASH Tournament Swivel Lead carp fishing weight is engineered to deliver extremely accurate, consistent casts even at very long distances. Its CAD-designed shape, featuring a hexagonal profile and a tapered nose, minimizes in-flight oscillation and significantly improves aerodynamics. This long-distance carp lead cuts through the air better, gaining a few extra meters compared to a standard lead and arriving on the fishing spot with a stable, controlled trajectory.

On the water, this model also stands out for its high level of discretion. Its smooth surface and camouflage finish reduce impact noise and help the rig blend into the surroundings, which is especially useful on heavily fished waters where carp are wary. The lead with integrated swivel further simplifies alignment of the leader and helps present the bait optimally.

Benefits and key strengths

This carp lead is designed for demanding anglers seeking maximum casting performance without sacrificing rig discretion. The combination of aerodynamic design and an optimized center of gravity reduces the risk of tangles and allows effective fishing at the edge of your comfort zone, where the biggest fish are often holding.

The swivel with a large eyelet improves the performance of helicopter rigs, sliding rigs or rigs set on a lead clip by providing great freedom of movement for the mainline. This design contributes to better bait presentation and a more effective self-hooking action when a carp takes the bait. Weight markings engraved directly on the lead make it easy to choose the right model for the current conditions, avoiding confusion in your tackle box.

When used with a discreet carp rig, the NASH Tournament Swivel Lead offers an excellent balance of distance, accuracy and holding power on the bottom. Whether fishing over cluttered margins, distant shelves or offshore plateaus, this lead integrates easily with many rigs and fishing styles.

Usage tips

To fully exploit this carp casting lead, pair it with a sufficiently powerful rod and a line in good condition, always respecting your gear’s power range. Adjust the lead weight to the distances targeted, the depth and the strength of the current—favor lighter models for delicate presentations and heavier models for extreme casts or windy conditions.

Position the lead clip or sliding system correctly on the leadcore or mainline to keep a balanced rig that’s safe for the fish. Regularly check the condition of the coating, swivel and eyelet, especially after heavy casts or repeated fights with large carp. Store your carp leads separately from hooks and sharp accessories to preserve the finish.
