Continental URF Leads

The Continental URF Lead originated on the beaches of Portugal but has quickly gained popularity across Europe and the UK. Designed for use with a long-trace rig, these leads allow anglers to fish up to three hooks from a single swivel, offering excellent bait presentation and movement.

Ideal for targeting flatfish like flounder and plaice, but versatile enough to catch a wide variety of species depending on hook size and trace strength.

Key Features:

• Designed for use with URF-style long trace rigs
• Optimised for calm to moderate sea conditions
• Encourages natural bait movement across the seabed
• Effective for flatfish but capable of catching all species

Available Weights and Colours:

• 130g – Orange
• 150g – Yellow
• 170g – Red

To build the perfect URF trace, we recommend staggering your hook lengths using:

• Top hook – 25lb mono
• Middle hook – 15lb mono
• Bottom hook – 12lb mono

This setup helps avoid tangles and improves bait spread, though breaking strains can be adjusted based on target species. Avoid going too light, as finer hook lengths are more prone to tangling.

Continental style meets UK conditions — a must-have for serious flatfish anglers.
