Changing from running rigs (6 posts / 1,189 views)

Evening All,

I've joined a new lake and running rigs are banned on there (this is all I've used for many years) so it's now a case of changing things up. The lake can get quite weedy in the summer so I assume this is the reason. But there are no snags at all. I think the rules also say leads should eject on the take (something I've always been against unless absolutely necessary).

So... back to the drawing board... any suggestions appreciated as I'm a bit out of touch with this sort of thing!

Thanks in advance

I'd use an MCF lead clip and a length of tubing.

I use drop off in lines, I find them superior to lead clips.
Less tangles and better hooking capabilities.

Evolve tackle do some good drop off lead clips, the tail rubbers differ to allow you to drop the lead on the take or use as a normal lead clip but come off a lot easier. 👍

I used to use these lead clips where the tail rubber had a gap so the lead would drop of easier they might have been from esp, also you can cut down the actual clip so the lead will again come off easier, iv since moved onto heli safe system if I need to drop the lead as just prefer helicopters

PB Products hit & run . . .the lead clip version is effectively a running rig combined with the ease of a lead clip . . .I've been using them this season on a moody little lake with lighter leads and they work really well . . .

If you need to drop the leads every time however - MCF Dumper clips / or Drop off inline (the Fox kits are great for this)
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
