Leaded Polysteel is a sinking rope made from copolymer fibres with a lead insert for negative buoyancy. Strong, durable and abrasion-resistant, it’s designed for fishing and marine use where sinking lines are required.
Using the same tough copolymer fibres as regular Polysteel, Leaded Polysteel is enhanced with a lead core that ensures the rope sinks quickly and stays submerged. This makes it especially valuable for fishing gear, moorings and marine applications where floating rope is a hazard. It combines high strength-to-weight performance with excellent resistance to abrasion, UV and chemicals.
The rope is easy to handle, long-lasting and reliable in harsh conditions, giving crews confidence in every operation.
