So where is the main casting weight then? Is that not below the shot? Will it not be trapped by the swivel and the shotin the event of a crack off? If the lead and the hooklength cannot part on the event of a crack offthen it is not a safe rig. The lead clip is designed to eject the lead, a helicopter rig will not retain the hooklength if the line breaks as the beads that hold it in place should pull free.

This is a VERY bad idea as the shot will lock the lead onto the line, meaning the rig wouldn't be safe, so a fish could end up towing around a lead, which could end up in the death of a fish.

Usually there is a walk-through of how to construct it in the mag? By the way, it makes it a lot easier to read with punctuation ect,

Gripper lead, big enough to hold in the flow. Rig wise, simple knotless knot, using a 25lb b/s braid or coated braid, to cope with snags, bikes etc Usually use a helicopter rig myself.

Went fishing with my Grandad a few months back and he was using the preston hair rigs, every time he hooked a fish the link just snapped, he has never had a problem before, dodgy batch?
-
I dont have pictures of the rig but im sure I could wang one together tomorrow if you want.
-
I personally would not bother with hybrid or the super natural braid as they both snap way below the stated b/s, 20lb hybrid soft breaks at 16lb and 15lb super natural as little as 3lb. As you guess we have rang korda and all the hook lengths (exept the IQ) are going back to korda.

I tried this on a local lake, I had blanked for two nights then I tried this rig (every thing was exactly the same exept the hooklength) and I caught a seven pound tench, fair enough not the intended fish but its better than blanking

I never thought of thant

Nope, totaly clear.

The floats are clear and if you fill them underwater then there is no chance of airs getting into them.

I just found a bubble float in my tackle box and was wondering, if wether I filled it with water could it be used in place of a lead. as the lake I fish in winter is very pressured and I think I may of found my self a little edge. What do you think? Thanks
