I have. The other broke too on the walk to the swim.

Century steel had them 10 yrs got new ebay £40 for 3 free delivery.

I have some of this. I've yet to try it out, but looks to be a good idea in places where they are a nuisance. Has anyone got any experience with it?

I bought a pair of the NGT too, my first run on the snags saw one of the 'ears' tear from from the base, nearly lost the rod and by all accounts the fish should have been snagged (luckily I managed to extract it). They are rubbish, a liability and not fit for the purpose of actual snag fishing. Bin them mate, a fishes life could depend on it.

For absolute distance casting the helicopter set-up is probably best. Fairly tangle free, and the lead tows everything tidily behind it. I am another one who does not like to lose the lead, as said with a helicopter, the lead helps the rig slide free in the event of a break off. If you do want a pendant lead, then I actually prefer a run ring, far better than a lead clip in my personal view. It can be fished semi-fixed with a tight line, and with the run ring able to slide off in the event of a break, there is no weight holding the hook in place.
