If you are talking about helicopter system drop off lead systems. Then none of them.

Should be banned.

Where appropriate ie near snags or heavy weed a lightly pushed on tail rubber (to nearest rib/only just pushed on) for lead clips or if using inline fox inline system or Korda inline system both work well but note both systems are designed to be used with the manufacturers own leads.
I have no expierence of helicoptor systems so cannot offere an opinion.

If your talking about the Korda helisafe for helicopter rigs, then yes it does exactly what its designed to do,
however don't expect too many endorsements for that type of system on here, as many think they are unsafe, and those that don't probably won't want to get embroiled in another huge debate.
But as I said if you want a system to drop the lead on hooking a fish then the Korda one does exactly that.
By inserting a small collar you can also prevent the lead being dropped but still have a device which allows you to quickly change lead sizes should you need that.

Just dont try to give it a big chuck as they don't hold.. the lead comes flying off travelling at the speed of light straight at the guy opposite! Far bank was 400 yards away and I was worried 😟

It's only the nod's who think they are safe.

According to some geezer I emailed at Korda not so; replied to my first polite email and not to my second.
Korda say they're safe (Helisafe) I say not. I'll never use the Helisafe system ever again, highly dangerous to fish.

Wow, that's a sweeping statement without giving a detailed explanation as to why you have come to this conclusion. Maybe it's just the opinion of a nod

been discussed 100 times already... for hooklink to move bead and get of broken line you need anchor (lead)... without that all you have is fish trailing line...

Do you guys all fish stones instead of lead when you're dropoing the weight?
Dropping lead isn't that healthy for environment and your lake.

Yes and from what I see via vid blogs the heli safe can be set to retain the lead or set to drop if a fish is hooked and pulls the link against the heli safe while the angler has the line under tension. Should a crackoffs occur on the cast the lead is still attached allowing any fish picking up the hook bait to swim off.the only issue I can see will be if a fish is hooked and the lead discharged and the line then parts during the fight. Is this a fault of the product or has the angler misread the situation he or she is fishing in?

Neither is being there purely to fish for your own enjoyment.

There's a great little video on YouTube that explains it brilliantly
