helicopter rig

the lead goes on the end of leadcore and your hooklink is fixed to the swivel which slides along the leadcore inbetween two beads

 

the the loop end of leadcore is attached loop to loop to mainline.

 

 

the swivel should hit the bead on a take to give the bolt effect and if any snappage happens only the hooklink will trail

 

they are safe depending on how well the loop is made on the leadcore

 

 

 

 

hope all that makes sense

The helicopter rig and chod rig are almost the same. I wouldnt use it for snag fish or anything but open water, as you have a lot less control of the fish. This is because your pulling directly on the lead not the fish making it harder to turn the fish. However it is the only rig that will allow the fish to only carry the hooklink around, so it far safer then anything else.
