I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use a live lead or a dead lead.

Of course, it's a good idea to use a live pendant, whether it's a sea rod or a hand rod, the lead pendant should be live, especially when using a sea rod, the lead pendant is usually bigger and heavier, so it's even more important to use a live pendant. If the lead pendant is fixed, that is, the use of dead pendant, the fish swallowed the hook, you must first pull the lead pendant, the fish news may be transmitted to the line and rod, sometimes the fish in the food has not yet pulled the lead pendant, the tension has been to let the fish frightened and fled. The use of live pendant, the fish do not have to pull the lead pendant when eating, the fish's pull directly through the line will be transmitted to the angler, easy to lift the rod in a timely manner in the fish.
