Troubleshooting

Leader is not laying flat on the bottom

Check for debris or silt buildup on the tungsten collars and ensure the leader is not being held up by excessive tension on the main line.

QC Swivel feels stiff during changes

Ensure there is no grit or silt inside the swivel eye; rinse with clean water and clear any obstructions.

Difficulty connecting to the main line

Ensure your main line loop is small enough to pass through the fused loop, then use the loop-to-loop method securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent concealment due to the clear finish and tungsten weighting
  • Safety-first design ensures hook link release upon line breakage
  • Highly durable 30lb breaking strain
  • Quick and easy attachment using the integrated QC swivel
  • Stays pinned to the bottom for superior presentation

Cons

  • Fixed 50cm length may not be suitable for extreme distance fishing
  • Requires adherence to local venue leader regulations
  • Limited to helicopter-style presentations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To attach the leader to your main line, pass your main line through the fused loop using a loop-to-loop connection. Ensure that your swivel is correctly seated within the Heli-Safe housing before casting. After each session, inspect the leader for any signs of fraying, especially if you have been fishing over gravel or rocky bottoms. Clean the tungsten sections by wiping them with a damp cloth to remove any silt or debris that could impede their sinking performance. Store the leader in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the material.
