If lead free, lead core and fused leaders are banned (Farlows) what are my best alternative options? PVA bags and naked chods ? Anything I'm missing? I normally fish a heli rig - thanks

Use tapered mainline and fish a naked heli or any other lead set up you fancy.

The obvious alternative is tubing

You can still fish a heli using tubing

Look for the new Korda tubing heli setup it will sort out exactly what you need

I use both heli set on naked line and also use tubing I use the bank tackle tungsten beads and large sinkers when fishing it straight on the line and when using tubing with heli set up I use the Gardner safety tapered beads that grip on the tubing for the top bead but will slide of should you snap of allowing the hook link to come free

You can tie your own fluorocarbon leaders.... just cant use fused ones

Do you know what the logic is behind this?

I haven't used a leader for years. Most of the time fish naked...with bags, chods and mostly lead clip set ups.
