Why We Recommend It
The Deluxe sits between the Super Six and the Double Stop in the Bisley slip lead range — a step up in finish from the Super Six, with the nickel slip ring adding a quality detail that makes the lead feel more substantial in the hand. The 1.2m length is the practical sweet spot: long enough to handle comfortably, short enough to coil neatly in a jacket pocket. The rubber stop is reliable and easy to operate with one hand, which matters when you're managing a dog and need to adjust the lead quickly. Four colour options mean you can colour-code leads across different dogs or jackets.
Key Benefits
- 6mm rope — comfortable grip, practical weight for everyday use
- 1.2m length — the practical everyday length for field and training
- Rubber stop — secure, easy one-hand adjustment
- Nickel slip ring — quality finish, smooth and corrosion-resistant
- 4 colours — Green, Natural, Red, Blue for easy identification
- Pocket-sized — coils neatly, always ready
My friends, the nickel slip ring is a detail I notice. It moves smoothly, it doesn't catch, and it gives the lead a quality feel that cheaper rings simply don't have. Craig has this one in Natural, which I think suits him. The rubber stop holds correctly and the 1.2m length is sensible — not so long that it drags, not so short that it's awkward. A well-considered lead. I approve. 🐾

How To Use
- Form a loop and slip over your dog's head, positioning high on the neck behind the ears.
- Slide the rubber stop up to snug the loop comfortably — secure but not tight.
- Hold with a relaxed grip — the stop maintains the loop position without hand tension.
- To remove, slide the stop down to loosen the loop and slip over your dog's head.
- Coil and pocket when not in use — the 6mm rope coils neatly at 1.2m.
Care Guide
- Rinse with clean water after muddy or wet use.
- Allow to dry naturally before storing.
- Check the rubber stop periodically — replace the lead if the stop no longer holds securely.
- Store loosely coiled in a dry pocket or bag.
Professional Insight
The nickel slip ring is the detail that separates the Deluxe from a standard slip lead. The ring allows the loop to tighten and loosen smoothly without the friction that cheaper rings introduce — friction that makes the lead feel sticky and imprecise. Over hundreds of uses, a smooth ring makes a meaningful difference to how the lead handles. The rubber stop is reliable and easy to operate with cold hands in field conditions, which is when it matters most.
Training Academy Tip 💡
Use colour to your advantage — assign a specific colour to each dog if you work multiple dogs, so you always know which lead belongs to which dog without reading a label. Green for your primary dog, Red for your second. At £9.50 each, buying one per dog per jacket is the most practical £19 you'll spend on your training kit.
ProTrain Principle
The right lead is the one you always have with you. Keep one in every jacket.

FAQs
How does this differ from the Super Six Slip Lead?
Both are 6mm slip leads with a rubber stop. The Deluxe is 1.2m long and includes a nickel slip ring for a quality finish. The Super Six is 120cm (the same length) and is the standard everyday option. The Deluxe is worth choosing if you want the nickel ring detail and the four colour options including Natural.
Which colour should I choose?
Green and Natural blend with countryside surroundings and are popular for field use. Red and Blue are higher visibility and easier to spot if dropped. Natural is a distinctive choice that looks particularly good with traditional field sports clothing.
Is 1.2m long enough for all breeds?
Yes — 1.2m is the standard practical length for a slip lead used in field and training contexts. It gives enough length to handle comfortably without excess lead getting in the way.
