Now there is no right or wrong time to use a distance casting shock leader, it all depends on how you feel about your casting. In terms of length, you need to make sure that when you’re ready to cast, there is enough shock leader to go through all of the rods eyes and 4-5 turns of the reel. Shock leaders are commonly made of braid or monofilament, something that is both thin (so you can still hit the distance), yet strong (to prevent crack-offs).Įssentially, the shock leader is tied directly between your mainline and your carp rig. To counteract this, we use a distance casting shock leader to absorb the power of the cast. This is where ‘crack-offs’ occur, when the mainline simply can’t take the brunt of a cast. Unfortunately, most mainlines that we use in carp fishing (around 12lb-15lb) are simply not up to the task of whacking a 4oz lead such distances. When we cast to the horizon, we put a huge amount of pressure through the rod and the mainline. Let’s take a look at what each of these carp fishing leader are for: Distance Casting Shock LeaderĪ distance casting shock leader is a piece of high strength line designed to take the brunt of a heavy distance cast.
