jh92 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 I was watching the Korda lads the other day and they were crimping the swivel to have a running lead clip setup with the spinner rig, watching your video has now made me wonder if they’ve had any swivels break on them because of crimping 🤔🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't think that a running lead clip is a good idea at all. You negate it's use for dropping the lead if it is free running. Any lakebed rubbish is now free to jam the leadclip and stop it running anyway, and with a leadclip that is not fixed to the hook link swivel the lead can't eject. Far better to use a decent run ring that does run on leaders, mainline or tubing; Solar, Fox and Korum all make decent run rings. I have used the 'shocka' run-stop set up, a rubber bead on tubing, even a power gum stop knot on mainline with a running bead, but while it works, and very well, I come back to the safety aspect of the bead preventing the lead and run ring coming off should I get a break-off above it. I am not convinced that it can be totally safe, unless your bead can come past or push the stop knot over the broken end. jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I've found a fox inline with a fox long tadpole insert can make a good shocker type rig, the lead detaches from the tadpole quite often on pick up but only after its done its job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greekskii Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 fox edges drop off run rig system is nice and tidy, only drops the lead when you need it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelabel Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Korum do some nice simple run rigs too... most of my fishing is done on run rigs or inlines (set up running style) or even freelined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky123 Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 I've used this rig now for a whole season and found it very versatile. As Matthew states, the only way to be 100% safe with a lead clip is to lose the lead every time. This saves the lead, and does the same job, brilliant.
