dalthegooner Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 First question; why do you want the leads to drop off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianain Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Second question; why do you want the leads to drop off? Hi Altura, Are you having problems at the moment with something? The answer may not be dropping the lead. There are a few methods for dropping inline leads doing the rounds. picture of what they use Third question: who are "they" The more information you give, the more information you will get back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmcee Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 when i use inlines which is very rare, i use atomic tackles inline leads. they have a slot built into them so when you get a pick up the lead goes up your line and drops off everytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutch Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) like emmcee im not a big user of inline leads, but when I do its mainly for margin work, started using the avid safety inlines last year found then to be excellent the drop is controlled by how tight you fit the tail rubber. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XIFqq2Bz4U Edited January 10, 2015 by hutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I seem to recall Newmarket making the same sort of question, whether it was via PM or on here, that I can't remember. You don't need to get mega technical, buying leads specifically intended with cut slots, slits or whatever, as you can do it with an ordinary inline lead (even with tubing), the supplied lead insert, a tail rubber and a double ring swivel. Thread your line through the tail rubber, and tie to one of the two rings on end of the swivel. The line is then going round the outside of the lead, the tail rubber holds it to the lead, and the unrung end is pushed into lead insert. As I said, can also be fished with tubing under the tail rubber, but at the swivel end, slit is slightly, so if required the tubing will split away from end to end if it does need to come off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalthegooner Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Nick , dont spose you could post stage by stage pics of that process at some point could you ? Tim, look at the video I've posted. It's a carbon copy of how I do it, and is exactly the same as Nick describes other than it doesn't use a double ring swivel.

newmarket Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yes Dal i just looked at it funnily enough Will it work ok without a leader/tubing or is it a bit risky ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalthegooner Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I use without either, works fine (Sorry, should have mentioned that it's not an exact carbon copy ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmarket Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 My dinosaur brain cant remember if i've asked this before at some point but : Is there an inline running lead version of this ?

newmarket Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Its ok ive sussed it out . Not inline but effective drop off system netherless . Dunno why i didnt think of this earlier , i have some in my tackle box too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalthegooner Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I do that with a standard Fox lead clip. No need for the plastic bit at the bottom, just leave out the clip. There's a little bit of resistance when carp first feels the hook and then the swivel comes out of the lead clip and runs free. If you want to make sure that the lead comes off when it hits the putty though, don't use a tail rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmarket Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Tbh im not 100% happy about using any kind of lead clip in weed or dropping the lead but i can see how it might help. If you dont use a tail rubber Dal , how can you be certain that the lead wont eject on the cast ? Or is it a case that it just wont end of ? Apologies to OP for digressing off inlines Edited January 11, 2015 by newmarket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalthegooner Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) To be honest, I fish it so rarely like this that I've just never lost the lead. But if I were worried I'd just tie the clip up with a bit of PVA string, Tim. I don't like dumping the lead at all if I can help it.

Dunno why i didnt think of this earlier , i have some in my tackle box too What an awful rig! Sure when a fish bolts suddenly, it will wack that putty and lose the lead, but what if it pulls away slowly and steadily, untill it hits the stop which would push the tail rubber on further? If you want to lose the lead on a running rig, tie the lead on with a very light piece if mono. you can secure it on with PVA for the cast. Or even better, use the enterprise safe run rings, they dump the lead when it gets snagged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep the enterprise snag safe rings are very good , i used one on my weedy lake last time out . Are YOU aware of an inline drop off running system at all ?
