Wow, since reading that im supposed to loose my lead on every take im strongly considering switching over to inline leads.
I understand that its about the fish and i don't want to hurt them or even kill them myself, i just really, really think its bizzare loosing a lead everytime we hook a fish. That you might not even land i might add.
Surely theres got to be another way of putting a lead on other than inline were you don't loose it per run but can still be enviromentally friendly to the fish?
(i'ld just like to add, using lead clips means the lead comes off everytime right? i use them myself at the moment but i think i push the tubing on too far creating a death rig, apologies up untill now i didn't realise that it did that. I thought that it would come off only when it was direly needed, not fix on permenantly.)
Maybe this set up is for me

could anyone explains how its put into play in a very newbie way of text.
You make it so the lead is secure then when it gets a take it comes loose but stays on the line? correct?
