Kenbob Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Why is a chod rig meant to be safe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianain Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Rig safety is all about leaving as little for the fish to tow around should your main line break, this applies to all rigs regardless of the name since any rig can be made unsafe. In the case of the chod rig, should the main line break, the hook link should be able to slide off what is left leaving only that hook link in their mouth and the lead on the bottom of the lake (rather than the fish towing it around), problems can occur with this rig if beads, loops or any other sort of stopping / restricting device is used which prevents this such as a swivel eye being too small to pass over any knots or a bead being too small a diameter to slide off the end or over any knots. Welcome to the forum and it's is a very good question to start with Edited June 27, 2017 by ianain Cos I can also if I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekskii Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 exactly as above. I also use the atomic choppa droppa for my lead when using heli rigs. Means the lead comes off once you hook a fish so the hook isnt being bounced around in the fish's mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
