SAF Inline Horizont – Inline Lead Mold 60–150 g
Code: INL060Related products
Product detailed description
SAF Inline Horizont is an aluminum mold by SMART ARCTIC FOX for making inline casting leads for carp fishing. Its elongated body, tapered ends and hexagonal profile follow the Horizon-style casting-lead concept: casting is the main purpose, while the flat faces also help reduce rolling on sloping lakebeds.
Use it to make your own leads for casting carp rigs from the bank to a chosen spot, with the line passing through the lead. The elongated profile suits anglers looking for a casting shape; holding in strong current or on a steep slope also calls for consideration of other lead shapes and rig arrangements.
Match the weight to your rod and complete rig. The 60–150 g range in 10 g steps lets you choose a weight that casts comfortably with your tackle. A heavier lead does not automatically cast further: account for the hookbait and any PVA contents, hooklink drag, line, wind and casting technique. At extreme range, the choice between an inline, lead-clip and helicopter setup also matters.
A conventional inline rig is easier to present on gravel, sand, clay and firm ground. In deep soft silt, the lead can bury and affect the hooklink’s position, particularly with a stiff hooklink. Consider how the rig lands and settles as well as whether you can reach the spot.
The range comprises ten separate single-cavity variants. Your selected mold makes one lead of the specified nominal weight; it is neither an adjustable cavity nor a set of ten molds. The two halves form one cavity when closed. The photographs show the 100 g variant.
A removable metal guide pin is included. Seat it in the longitudinal groove before pouring to form the passage through the lead. Withdraw it after the metal solidifies and reuse it for the next casting. To make removal easier, apply a thin layer of release grease for steel mold guides before casting, following the product instructions. The metal guide pin does not remain in the finished lead; no attachment loop or hook is cast into this inline version.
From the SAF Inline Horizont mold to a finished lead
- Prepare a clean, completely dry mold, included guide pin, metal and tools. Check the marking of the selected weight.
- Seat the metal guide pin in its groove. Assemble both halves and check full closure and secure holding without force.
- Cast according to the instructions for the mold, metal and melting equipment. Keep plastic components away from molten metal.
- After the metal solidifies, open the mold safely, remove the casting and withdraw the metal guide pin. The mold and pin will still be hot.
- Once cool, trim the sprue, deburr both ends of the passage and check that it is smooth. Weigh the first casting.
- Fit the 7800/7803 tapered insert into the cooled lead, add the remaining inline rig components and test the complete assembly before making a larger batch.
Nominal weight refers to one casting. The alloy and finishing affect actual weight. The gram value does not describe the weight of the aluminum mold. Select any liner or tube according to the actual finished passage; components must seat without force and leave no sharp edges in the line path.
To finish the passage in a SAF Inline Horizont lead, use the 7800/7803 tapered inline lead insert. Fit it only after withdrawing the metal guide pin and allowing the casting to cool completely; do not place it in molten lead. The insert alone does not determine whether the complete rig is free-running, fixed or able to release the lead; the swivel and stops also matter.
Finish the cleaned surface with a rubber lead coating according to that coating’s instructions. Keep the passage clear. The offer includes the mold in the selected weight and its metal guide pin; lead, coatings, tubes and other rig components are sold separately.
Casting safety
- Never pour molten metal into a damp mold. Metal, guide pin and tools must also be completely dry.
- Wear safety glasses and suitable protective gloves; work on a stable, heat-resistant surface with effective ventilation.
- Follow the instructions for the mold, metal and melting equipment. Handle the hot mold and guide pin with appropriate tools.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke when working with lead. Keep casting equipment separate from kitchen utensils and wash your hands afterwards.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is Horizont mainly a casting lead or a holding lead?
It is primarily a casting shape for carp fishing. The elongated body follows an aerodynamic concept, and the flat faces also help reduce rolling. Holding at a particular spot depends on weight, slope and bottom conditions.
Does one mold include every weight from 60 to 150 g?
No. You select one particular weight variant. It has one cavity for one lead of that nominal weight; the other weights are separate molds.
Is the metal guide pin included?
Yes. The corresponding removable metal guide pin is supplied with the mold. It forms the passage during casting and is withdrawn after solidification for reuse.
Which insert fits the finished lead?
Use the 7800/7803 tapered inline lead insert, sold separately in packs of 20 or 200. Fit it only into a fully cooled, deburred casting after withdrawing the metal guide pin.
Does inline automatically mean a free-running rig?
No. Inline describes the line passing through the lead. The insert, swivel and stops determine how the complete rig works. Before fishing, check that a broken main line cannot leave the fish tethered to the lead; a connecting knot must not prevent the necessary release.
