FAQs

What type of fishing are these lead clips and tail rubbers best suited for?

They are primarily designed for coarse fishing, particularly carp and specialist angling, where secure yet releasable lead systems are beneficial.

Can I use these in saltwater environments?

While they can be used in saltwater, it is crucial to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after each session to prevent corrosion and material degradation.

How many of each component are in the mixed pack?

The exact quantities are not specified, but it is a mixed pack designed to provide a balanced assortment for general use.

Do I need any special tools to set these up?

No, these components are designed for easy setup by hand and do not require specialized tools.

Will the brown color work in all water types?

The brown color is generally effective for camouflage in most common fishing environments like silt, mud, and gravel. However, visibility can vary greatly depending on water clarity and substrate.

How do I ensure the lead releases correctly?

The lead is designed to release when significant pressure is applied, often when a fish moves off or encounters an obstacle. Ensure the tail rubber is not overly tight, which could prevent release.

Troubleshooting

Lead clip not holding lead securely

Ensure the swivel of your rig is fully inserted into the clip. Check that the tail rubber is correctly positioned over the clip to provide tension.

Line getting damaged near the clip

Verify that the tail rubber is adequately covering the connection point to protect the line from abrasion. Ensure no sharp edges are present on the lead or swivel.

Difficulty attaching components

Slightly moisten the components or your fingers if they feel stiff. Ensure you are using the correct size swivel for the lead clip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
