Meat keep coming off?.Try a loop of pole elastic tied on a hair.Barrel shaped piece of meat sits well in the loop.Saw this in an old barbel fisher article by Steve Stayner i believe.
Used it in 10lb,does tend to break easily.Luckily on snags not fish.Gone back to GR60 as i dont trust it in this strength.Maybe ok in 15lb but cannot afford it just for a try out.
Just tried the Avid lead on an old Thamesley and the door opens ok.Works even better on a tin dropper i have got(unknown make)as it has a longer wire stem.Lead is also reusable for its original purpose after.
