I use Korda xtra tough shockleader though when reqiured.
Leadcore leaders: Huh blooming carpy tactics have no place in barbel angling....
Where will all these intrusions into this noble sport take us........ Cue Neil Smart...
Korda's Arma Cord and Nash's Armour Braid are other usefull options that can withstand the bedrock gulleys you will be fishing Paul. I've used both in the 20lb version and if pushed would prefer the Nash version but both do the job.
I don't really understand why some people get so touchy about tackle innovations from the Carp world. I bet most of those who do have used hooks designed for carp! If a tactic/rig/product developed for carp fishing can offer you an advantage in your barbel fishing then why not use it?
Alternatively you could carry on impaling half a can of meat on a size 2 and moaning that there are no barbel in your rivers anymore. ( none that are daft enough to fall for that tactic anyway )

Paul - did you watch him put a fresh tea bag in the cup? That's all i can say for now . . . .
Ok you gave us the hair rig. I'll give you that.
So apart from the hair rig, the leadcore, the safety clip, braided line, wide-gape hooks, baitrunners, delkims, 2lb+ TC rods , boilies, bivvies, rod pods, baiting needles, stringers, pva mesh, hangers and isotopes, what have the carpers ever done for us!!!

Barbel girl, Leane James? was 6'3" and had hands like a bricky, she scared the **** out of me .
I seem to remember she had a few health issues. I have no idea where she went but I hope she's keeping well.
