Many use them? Good or bad reviews? Trying them out myself, no issues yet, but v early days. Tia.

I found exactly the same. Despite everyone these days telling you to drop the lead on every take 🙄 lake I fish there's no need

That's a worry, I'm not a 'lead dropper' unless absolutely necessary.
I will have to see how things go.

It's the little lug that the lead sits on, it's not solid enough. The leads drop but the tail rubber doesn't slide off the back of the clip, the little lug manages to pop out from under the tail rubber

Armaled Locjaw are kind of similar fixed lead clips. Maybe worth a try.

Same sh*t over here. And casting with a small stick on the hooklink also ejected the lead on impact with the water...

No more korda leadclips here.

I do actually use the standard ones and have no problems with those, it's just the hybrid ones
Are you sure?
