What is a "Fair Lead"?

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Taken most literally, a "Fair Lead" would make the most sense to an English Sailor, a great connection to my background. However, the Fairness runs deeper. My leashes are Fair in many ways. I pride myself on a Fair price, and all materials are sourced in the US. The robustness and tangle-free design keep the line Fair. It is certainly Fair to let your salty dog express his nautical style, and after all, every dog deserves a Fair lead.

FAIR LEAD:
