Avid Carp In Line Inserts

I have used the long versions when fishing with PVA bags, in conjunction with Avid’s excellent In-Line Groove leads and they work pretty well.


The longer stem gives something to work with when tying the bags off, but I have found them to be quite a loose fit. This is a problem if I have to push the lead down into the bag once filled because the insert simply pushes through the lead rather than taking the lead with it.
They also do not really suit many leads other than Avid’s, which is fine because I guess they’re not designed to. It is worth remembering, though.
That said, it’s rare that I need to actually do this so, apart from one or two having split after continued use, I’d say that these are a pretty decent bit of kit. If you fish with solid bags a lot then a packet or two are well worth having in your tackle bag.
