Helicopter rig

[Ginger9991]

Afternoon gents. As im now being destroyed by bream using solid bags i want to have a look at helicopter rigs, I had the korda heli safe kit in my bag, Now the only problem im having is the no trace bead keeps popping off the chod sleeve. Im using lead free leader, Can anyone suggest some good replacement beads that will fit snug? Im flying through the No trace beads, Im assuming flying off on the cast they dont keep tight enough at all.

I use the no trace beads with the Korda leadcore and haven’t had any problems, maybe switch the lead free leader to Korda leadcore (if allowed) as the helisafe beads kits fit snug onto it. I’m assuming the lead free leader is another brand? In my experience, the lead free leader material is a thinner diameter to leadcore. Or look at the nash helicopter bead kits, they may work, they fit snug and have a wide bore that will pass over a spliced loop in a leadfree leader.

Are you using the tapered bit ?
one of the cheaper brands like bank tackle or someone like that do a copy of the Korda bead now if needed

Try esp avid nash fox all four work fine although don't have a slit .yes you can get korda type with the slit for less than half the price.you could also try another sleeve and Pop the bead over that.

Fox taska and avid have good helli kits

Put a bit of putty over it i find that keeps them in place.

Gardner camflex lead free leader and Gardner covert tungsten chod beads seem to work OK
