SAFETY LEAD CLIP

Pictured is the Nash safety lead clip (others are available from Korda, Hutchie, etc) and is used for fishing the lead pendant style.

If the lead becomes snagged then the pressure applied should push the rubber sleeve away from the housing and the lead should safely eject itself.

If you snap off and a fish is unfortunate enough to pick up your bait, or if you actually break on a fish above the lead, then the lead should still be able to eject if it becomes snagged. You must ensure that the swivel is a very tight fit in the housing for this to work effectively.

About the Rigs Page

The Rigs Page is a library of features to illustrate all those rigs that will be useful to both beginners and experienced anglers.

The rigs can be extremely simple and well known, or very complicated and little known, it doesn’t matter providing they make some kind of sense and have a really practical application.

It could be a standard running leger rig that a beginner will appreciate seeing in pictures, or a very complicated anti-eject carp rig that the experienced carp angler would like to see.

If you wish to contribute a rig to this section please remember that the emphasis is on illustration rather than words. Good line drawings are fine in the absence of photographs. Please send to graham@fishingmagic.com
