fishingdetective Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Guys if anyone could show me how the lead clip works then that would be very much appreciated.Also I have heard that when someone hooks into a fish the lead detaches itself, does this happen if you strike and dont hook into a fish. Thanks F.D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasha Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 you dont always loose the lead i though it fell off if you got into a snag. However my set-up is this__ I have some anti-tangle rig tubing, then slide on a tail rubber, then slide on the lead clip then tie the hair rig. The swivel of the hair plugs into the lead clip. Then the clip, tail rubber and tubing all plugs into each other. Simple. Nasha I'll try and find a diagram for you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilscatchin Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Leadcore is definately not the best material in inexperienced hands although I thought these leaders were near to idiotproof as you'll ever get. The swivel is already locked in the lead clip so all you have to do is pull off the sleeve add your lead and reapply the sleeve.Make sure the lead will discharge with a minimal amount of pressure,the sleeve should come off releasing the lead,try using saliva to lubricate the sleeve before reapplying it.You only want to release the lead should you get a fish take you into weed or thick pads not playing them in open water. The biggest mistake is that people jam the sleeve on too hard and the fish doesn't stand a hope in hell of discharging the lead,making it pointless using one. If you're still unsure or in any doubt go to your local tackle shop who will demonstrate how to use lead clips safely much better than I can instruct over PC screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
