Been using Nash terminal tackle for years with no problem but the latest lead clips ive brought always drop the lead.I dont mind this but it gets expensive especially when im fishing a water when there is no need to drop the lead.So im looking for another companies lead clips that are more reliable if there is any recommendations will be gratefully accepted

Ever considered moving away from leadclips onto helicopter, in-line or running rig? Very rarely do I ever need or want to drop leads

Same here, sigh lead gone again. So i tried the heavy duty lead clips from nash and those don't have that problem. The ones i have are from last year, so in case they haven't been changed very recently they should be fine.

The old Nash clips had a mini notch to hold the lead without continually dropping it unintentionally and I really like the way you can tweak to suit exactly how you want it to behave.
Are there any other cheapo Chinese clips like this ???

really would suggest just fishing a heli or inline.
don't like dropping the lead at all.

I fish clips and also don't like dropping the lead, I'm from a generation before korda dvd''s taught spotty faced kids how to fish
But i can alter how it's set up to only drop the lead if the fish ploughs into heavy weed and it becomes necessary to safely land the fish.

personally id always just use a small inline inside a solid bag, never had an issue landing fish in deep weed myself with that set up, the lead is small enough not to pick up masses of the green stuff on a take.

but each to their own, personal preference.

Another vote for using an inline setup.

I found the korda safe zone ones drop everytime too but oddly their standard ones don't. So I use those, I never drop the lead unless it becomes snagged up.

I use the ESP ones mate, they come with the clips and tail rubbers in the same pkt, I think most other brands sell each part separately these days.

I mostly use them free running, unless I need to drop the lead, in that case you just insert one of the plastic pegs that come with them

I've used the Korda ones for years with the fused swivels, never lose a lead unless I get a pick up and never had any problems with them breaking. I use the same ones continuously on the rods and no issues at all.

That's what I meant about them, they drop the lead on a take whether you want them to or not. I found the tail rubber didn't actually move, just the little bit the lead clips on to manages to pop out from under the tail rubber and drop the lead, hence I stopped using them. Didn't lose a lead other than on a take

Try the ESP ones. I have tried a few in the past and find these spot on. They have ridges on the shaft where the tail rubbers sits on, you can kind of adjust the drop off pressure pending how far you push the rubber on

I have just bought a packet of PB hit and run clips
You could lock the lead in place with those quite easily.

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
