Product Information
Full details
The Thinking Anglers Heli Chod Runners are designed for dedicated carp anglers who utilize naked chod rigs and need a reliable, line-protecting terminal tackle solution. These runners excel by preventing line damage during intense fights in heavy weed, though users should note that they are specifically engineered for naked chod setups and require careful bead placement to function correctly.

FAQs
Can I use these on leadcore leaders?
These runners are specifically designed for naked chod rigs on the main line and are not intended for use with leadcore.
How many come in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 complete Heli Chod Runner units.
Are the beads replaceable?
The system is sold as a set, and it is recommended to use the provided beads as a matched unit.
Does this work with braided main lines?
They are optimized for mono or fluorocarbon; using braid may increase friction and potential wear on the plastic tube.
How do I ensure the rig stays in place?
The fixed 5mm bead acts as a buffer and stop; ensure your setup follows standard naked chod mounting procedures.
Troubleshooting
The swivel is catching on the runner.
Ensure the swivel eye is the correct size for the tube and that no debris is lodged inside the runner.
The push-on bead is falling off.
The bead has likely worn out from repeated use; replace it with a fresh unit from the pack to maintain a secure grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Protects main line from friction-induced cuts
- Smoother movement for effective rig positioning
- Ideal for fishing in heavy weed cover
- Simple two-part construction for easy assembly
Cons
- Limited primarily to naked chod rig applications
- Beads may require occasional inspection for wear
- Pack size of five may not be sufficient for a full season for heavy users
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, thread your main line through the central plastic tube of the runner. Secure your chod rig swivel onto the tube section situated between the beads. Ensure the push-on bead is firmly seated to prevent the swivel from sliding off during a cast. For care, rinse the runners with fresh water after fishing in silty or weedy environments to remove debris that could impede movement. Inspect the beads periodically for any signs of cracking or deformation, especially after catching large fish, and replace them if the push-on connection feels loose.
