When using a helicopter rig, can i fish it with a mesh bag hooked onto the hooklink or will that move the top bead on the cast? Many thanks

I do but I only use it on soft or semi stiff hooklinks,always worried me about putting bags out on stiff hooklinks but that might be just me 🤣l

Will be using tungsten loaded semi stiff. Im always worried that the hooklink is going to tangle even on a heli rig and don't like a really stiff hooklink

Just grabbed some of that hooklink myself today (great stuff) I'll be using it with that next week no problems on the heli with that set up mate,I always double over hand loop my hooklinks then add some shrink tube over the knot a long piece steamed just enough to lewve the loop to clip onto the Quick change this helps massively with anti tangle & reset etc

Really good hooklink. I do the same apart from big overhand loop with shrink tube I use an anti tangle sleeve.

Yeah i used to use the sleeves I just like the subtleness the shrink steamed gives
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
