How do you stop the lead sliding back on the cast and the set up separating in flight? I could tie the lead and rig swivel together with pva but just wondering if anyone uses any quicker/easier methods?

Never found it to be an issue, just feather the cast or hit the clip.

Trying to work out how this could happen.
What have you got on the hook side? (pva, bait etc. )

3oz lead, 7-8” hook link and 18 mm boilie. Casting 60-70yds. Doesn't happen under 50 yds. Not sure why it happens but you can see the lead slide back during flight. Obviously, it slides back when you hit the clip but then it sort of jolts and looks very messy!
It's definitely not just me as ive spoken to a couple of others who get the same. They just tie it with PVA.

I just squeeze a pva nugget up against the lead but that's with a lighter lead

Try a bigger lead i have never experienced what you say with just a single bait but have experienced it casting small mesh pva bags and also pike fishing casting deadbaits

Korda run rig rubber and enterprise run ring sit and hold nicely on the cast.
You have to feather the line to allow for drag slowing some lead/rig set ups and try staying in ‘contact' with the lead

I'd start a smaller lead. No need for a lead that size for 70 yards.
I use running rigs, and always use the absolute minimum size lead i can get away with for the distance and i dont get that issue you mentioned.
At a guess i might think larger lead, at those distances is a slow lob, maybe it is being slowed down by wind resistance on its larger size, or something like that.

For that to happen, your bait, rig etc would have to be heavier and more streamlined than your lead and end up towing your lead behind, like what happens to a "flying backlead", so I cannot see any other way for it to happen. Even drag would have more effect on your bait than the lead which is far more dense.
A big heavy bag or stick mix, both far heavier than your lead could do it.
It used to happen to me in the 60's, when I used to cast a 'spud' out, but my lead was only about a quarter of an ounce, and my "spud" was far heavier, and my lead could land many yards behind my "spud" but it did not bother me and I would still catch.

Never found this an issue. I use the fox Angled run beads.

Look at your casting. Length of line of the tip. Trajectory height and flat or aerodynamic lead
