Description

The Delta Tackle Leader Saver is an essential piece of terminal tackle designed for effective and hassle-free bottom bouncing. Designed for Sockeye fishing, this leader saver is constructed from durable wire, rubber-coated and shrink-wrapped for maximum durability. The integrated swivels further ensure the rig's robustness and longevity. The innovative clevis design allows for the free movement of your bottom bouncer or weight, providing a seamless fishing experience. By keeping your weight away from the mainline and leader, the Delta Tackle Leader Saver significantly reduces twists and tangling, ensuring a smooth and efficient fishing adventure. Each package contains 2 Leader Savers TIPS: Once your rig is prepared, make a cast slightly upstream, aiming to position it directly in front of you. Casting too far upstream can lead to tangles & snags on the riverbed. After your weight hits the bottom, allow it to drift with the current, bouncing off the riverbed until it swings downstream, nearly parallel to your position. Selecting the right weight is essential. If the weight feels like it's dragging continuously or rolling along the bottom, it's too heavy and should be swapped for a lighter one. On the other hand, if the weight is too light, your rig will remain too high in the water column as it drifts, making it unlikely to catch any salmon.
