joely Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Hi everyone hope this is in the right section, Ok can you trust quick clips when ataching your hairs ? how do you cover them up etc ??? Wana give them a go can anyone explain for me !!! Quote
zander1 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 I use the korda ones- perfection. I use the xtra small multipurpose korda klip, but i also use the actual small hooklink klip (korda do everything with a K ) They make life so easy. Cover them with silicon or a section of antitangle/helicopter sleeve or what ever If you damage one or its doesnt seem the right shape anymore- just change it for peace of mind Quote
dave_askew Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 erm the quick link attaches to either a loop in your hooklink and then i use a silicone sleeve to cover the quick link up if u dont like loops use the link loop im goin again in the morning ill take a picture of my whole thing for you Quote
zander1 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Yeh, like dave says, if you have any probs ill pm you a pic mate I like the extra hinge's that you can create with them Perfect rig presentation everytime (use fig of 8 knots) The link loops are ok, bit pointless tbf but good if you dont trust loop knots Quote
dave_askew Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 yeah must admit i use the palomar on the link loop of a figure of 8 loops only recently found the quick change system its brilliant saves alot of hassle Quote
bluebirdjones Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 I use the korda Quick change links and have never had one break. I don't bother trying to disguise them, I think a small piece of black metal is better disguised on a lakebed than a chunky piece of rubber. Quote
zander1 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 I dont use sillicon to hide them, its to stop the chance of the hooklink coming off the clip, by using a segment of some rubber sleeve etc it stops the loop in the hooklink trveling back pat the lip of the hooklink clip. I cant explain so ill photograph it later Quote
sharpy86 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 yeah must admit i use the palomar on the link loop of a figure of 8 loops only recently found the quick change system its brilliant saves alot of hassleSomeone has been watching the Korda DVD's!! I use the Fox kwik change swivels and sleeves, as find they are more 'tidy' than using a korda one. Quote
dave_askew Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 yeah they dvd's where decent i do want a korda krusha but cant find them anywhere Quote
sharpy86 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 yeah they dvd's where decent i do want a korda krusha but cant find them anywhereIs it basically a vegetable chopper, with the Korda logo stamped onto it, and then the price raised? Quote
speersy26 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 I just use a pair of scissors and tie a new rig on Quote
sharpy86 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 I just use a pair of scissors and tie a new rig on What about threading a PVA bag onto the rig? Stick mix etc...This is where they come in handy Quote
speersy26 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 yes that is one flaw in the way I fish Quote
zander1 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 ^ the xtra small klip with a section of a brown esp anti-tangle sleeve. ^hooklink clip with the brown korda silicone you can put pva mesh etc on the hook- twist and hook- cap with pva foam for improved presentation Quote
joely Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Posted March 17, 2009 ok so for in line leads that great thanks very much just tie an over hand knot and slide into link. will this still be ok for running leads ???? sorry if it sounds dumb i just wana get my head sorted !!!!!! TIGHT LINES AND SCREAMING REELS Quote
dave_askew Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 thats my effort also as a by product i take the swivel out the lead clip and can be used running Quote
dave_askew Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 i was having silly amounts of problems with tangleing hence that rig really Quote
dave_askew Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 yeah on that one it is i started useing the esp coated strip teaze and found it pretty damn good Quote
zander1 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Coated braid is great, ive gone back to the good old fox coretex for my bottom bait rigs Quote
josh_reynolds Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I use the Gardner Q-rings, quality bits of kit, easy to use and turn a normal swivel into a ring-swivel, also due to the shape of the clip you don't have to use a peice of rubber to keep the rig on. Quote

They are like the E-S-P ones. Your hooklink can come off them due to their shape, check them constantly as they work like a key ring but with a "leg" the leg makes them easier to let a hooklink come off i never lost a fish on them, but when i have caught on them in the past, during the fight the hooklink has worked its way around the clip- almost coming off each to there own, if im fishing and i dont want a hinge/pivot, i will use them and cover it with silicon completely but i tend not to use them atall now Quote
joely Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Posted March 18, 2009 cheers everyone im gonna have an experiment with what ive seen Quote
