Product Information
Full details
The Nytro Stopitz Helicopter Kit is designed for coarse and feeder anglers who need a rapid, reliable solution for creating helicopter-style feeder rigs on the bank. Its primary benefit is the significant time saved during setup, allowing for quick hooklength changes and secure rig positioning. However, users should note that the kit requires the main line to be threaded through the loop, which may be challenging in low-light conditions or with very fine diameter lines.

FAQs
How many sets come in a pack?
Each pack contains five complete Stopitz Helicopter Kit sets.
Can I use this for braided main lines?
Yes, but ensure the rubber stoppers provide enough grip; you may need to check the tightness more frequently than with monofilament.
Is the swivel reusable?
Yes, the Connex quick-change swivel is designed to be durable and can be reused as long as it remains free of corrosion.
Does this kit include feeders?
No, the kit contains the rig components (stoppers and swivels) only; the feeders must be purchased separately.
What is the primary benefit of a helicopter rig?
The helicopter rig allows the hooklength to rotate around the main line, which prevents tangles and provides a superior presentation for feeder fishing.
Troubleshooting
The stop-system slides on the line during a cast.
Ensure the Stopitz rubbers are fully seated and not obstructed by any line debris. If the line is very thin, add a small overhand knot behind the stopper as a backup.
Difficulty threading the main line through the loop.
Use a fine baiting needle to pull the line through the loop if your main line is thick or slightly kinked.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly faster rig assembly than manual tying
- Quick-change swivel allows for rapid hooklength adjustments
- Secure stop system prevents rig slippage
- Minimalist design reduces the risk of tangles during casting
Cons
- Requires threading the main line through the loop during initial setup
- Fixed component size may not be suitable for extremely heavy shock leaders
- Limited to helicopter-style rig configurations
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rig, pass your main line through the loop of the stop-system and slide the Stopitz rubber components into your desired position on the line. Once positioned, attach your feeder to the swivel and secure your hooklength to the quick-change end.
Compatibility: This kit is best suited for standard monofilament or fluorocarbon main lines. For care, ensure the rubber stoppers are kept free of grit and debris to maintain their grip on the line. If the rubber feels stiff in extremely cold weather, warm it slightly between your fingers before adjusting to avoid damaging your main line.
