Should be able to. I'd put the bead onto the tubing threader first, then feed it onto the tubing to where you need it.

Ah okay. Strange considering they are using the c beads on the tubing! You'd think they'd put them on both!

The bead that comes on the Submerge ready tied leaders isn't a C bead

No you just unclip the bead from the sleeve, push the swivel up the tubing and put the C bead back on the sleeve. Then you add a top bead. I literally did this last night. No need to take everything off your default top bead becomes your bottom bead in the space of 5 seconds.

Of course I haven't attached to my mainline yet, if you have then yes you have to take it off/apart to add a bead.

I need to add a bottom bead, so it'll all have to come off.

The beads are c clips style so you only need to pop it off, move the swivel above and put it back then add a top bead.

I will add some bottom beads but once I've taken the beads of to put them on I may as well have just tied up leaders myself so probably do that in future

Carp Whisperer is the only one who understands how to make a decent heli/chod leader, i use it with a Korda boom/loop and the hooking is always 100% perfect, with the 20cm buffer system the carp also has much less chance of shaking the hook loose with the help of the lead. I really don't understand why other manufacturers don't use a buffer system and prefer to rely on that idiotic lead drop system.

Just a case of buying some beads and putting one on up the tubing. It's the length of the tubing which is more limiting tbh. I got some tubing anyway for other lead set ups so will swap bits around.
Don't plan on switching to tubing in general, it's just for a specific venue for a trip full of crays hence the fox stuff. Tubing seems more of a faff to set up than anything else.

None of the Fox ready tied heli leaders have a bottom bead annoyingly. Rubbish for chods.

Can you use it for sliding tubing into their rubber beads on the run rig kit

The tubing threader is great for getting sleeves on to rig tubing. The tubing goes right through the tool and out the back, so you can get your sleeves onto the tubing anywhere without wrecking the tubing.

Neither does the tuning version but I plan to add a top bead with the fancy tubing threader tool

I think the diameter of the collar is enought for the rig to rest on on the cast, if your dropping the lead you need the rig to be pulling down on that collar to open up...ive just set ine up on leadfree leader and they seem really good

I know on the Korda heli safes it stopped the lead from dropping most of the time.
