Korda Grapple Lead

Korda Grapple Lead

Korda Grapple Lead is a specialist feature-finding lead designed to help carp anglers map the lakebed in greater detail. Rather than acting like a standard smooth lead, it uses four prongs to pick up and identify traces from the bottom, helping you understand what you’re fishing over before committing to a spot.

The four-prong design is the key feature. Before casting, the prongs are locked in the upright position, allowing the lead to be used in the normal way when feeling for a drop. As you pull the lead back, the prongs can gather weed, detritus or natural food sources such as bloodworm, giving a clearer idea of the lakebed conditions.

This makes the Grapple Lead particularly useful when searching for subtle changes that might be missed with a conventional lead. It can help reveal whether an area is clean, weedy, silty, choddy or holding natural food, making it a valuable tool for choosing where to place a rig.

The lead is also designed with retrieval in mind. If it locks up in excessive weed, rocks or mussel beds, steady pressure will unlock the prongs so the lead can be retrieved as normal. This makes it practical to use in more challenging swims where feature finding can otherwise be awkward.

Available in 2oz, 3oz and 4oz sizes, the Grapple Lead gives anglers options depending on distance, depth and conditions. The lighter sizes are useful for shorter-range work, while the heavier options offer more feedback and control when mapping at greater range. Each pack contains two leads.

Overall, the Korda Grapple Lead is a clever feature-finding tool for anglers who want to learn more about the spots they’re fishing. It’s best suited to carp anglers who take location seriously and want extra feedback from the lakebed before deciding where to present a bait.
