The Bisley Super Six is a practical, lightweight slip lead for everyday field and training use. 6mm braid, 120cm long, rubber stopper for one-hand adjustment. Available in Olive Green, Red, Blue, and Yellow. Compact enough for any jacket pocket. No packaging, no fuss — just a well-made slip lead at an honest price.
Why We Recommend It
The Super Six is the slip lead you keep in your pocket as a spare — or the one you reach for every single day because it's light, reliable, and never gets in the way. The 6mm braid is the right diameter: thick enough to grip comfortably, thin enough to slip through a pocket without bulk. The rubber stopper is the detail that matters — it holds the loop securely without slipping loose, which is exactly what you need when you're putting a lead on a dog that's keen to get going. At £6.90, it's the most practical £6.90 you'll spend on your training kit.

My friends, a slip lead is a slip lead until it isn't. Craig has had leads that slip loose at the wrong moment. This is not one of those leads. The rubber stopper holds, the braid is comfortable, and the whole thing fits in his pocket so it's always there when he needs it. He has one in every jacket. I consider this sensible. I am always on a lead when required and I appreciate a lead that works properly. 🐾

How To Use
- Form a loop at one end of the lead and slip it over your dog's head, positioning it high on the neck behind the ears.
- Slide the rubber stopper up to snug the loop comfortably — not tight, just secure.
- Hold the lead with a relaxed grip — the stopper will maintain the loop position without you needing to hold tension.
- To remove, slide the stopper down to loosen the loop and slip it over your dog's head.
- Coil and pocket when not in use — the 6mm braid coils neatly and stays compact.
Care Guide
- Rinse with clean water after use in muddy or wet conditions.
- Allow to dry thoroughly before storing to prevent mildew in the braid.
- Check the rubber stopper regularly for wear — replace the lead if the stopper no longer holds securely.
- Store loosely coiled in a dry pocket or bag.
Professional Insight
The 6mm diameter is the professional's choice for a slip lead used in field contexts — it's the sweet spot between strength and packability. Thinner braids can cut into the hand during a strong pull; thicker braids become bulky in the pocket. The rubber stopper is a more reliable mechanism than the cord or toggle stoppers found on cheaper leads — it maintains its position under tension without creeping, which is the single most important functional requirement of a slip lead stopper. At £6.90 with no packaging overhead, the Super Six represents genuine value without compromise.
Training Academy Tip 💡
Keep one Super Six in every jacket you use for training or shooting. At £6.90 it's the cheapest insurance against the moment you reach into your pocket and find nothing. The rubber stopper is the key feature — position it so the loop sits snugly behind your dog's ears, not loose around the neck. A slip lead worn correctly is a safe and effective handling tool; worn too loose it can slip off at the wrong moment. Fit it right every time.
ProTrain Principle

FAQs
What is a slip lead and how does it work?
A slip lead combines a lead and collar in one — a loop slips over the dog's head and is held in position by a stopper. It tightens slightly when the dog pulls and loosens when they walk calmly, making it an effective training and handling tool. The rubber stopper on the Super Six holds the loop at the correct size without requiring constant hand tension.
Is 120cm long enough for all breeds?
Yes — 120cm 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. For very large breeds or handlers who prefer a longer lead for heel work, see our extended length options.
Which colour should I choose?
All four colours perform identically. Olive Green is the most popular for field use as it blends with countryside surroundings. Red, Blue, and Yellow are higher visibility and easier to spot if dropped. Many handlers buy one in each colour to keep spares in different jackets and bags.
How is this different from the Bisley Deluxe 6mm Slip Lead?
The Super Six and the Deluxe 6mm are both 6mm braid slip leads. The Deluxe 6mm is 1.2m long and includes a rubber stop — very similar specification. The Super Six is the standard everyday option; the Deluxe is worth considering if you want a slightly longer lead or prefer the Deluxe finish.
