Drop Off Inline Leads
Friday, May 1st, 2009A lot of anglers prefer to use inline leads for most of their fishing but certain fishing situations dictate that it isn’t possible to use them due to excess weed growth which means a setup which releases the lead on the take is needed, well here’s how to set up an inline lead that will drop off on the take. The rig components used in this demonstration were a Korda flat pear inline lead, a Korda Safe Zone Kamo Leader and Korda Safe Zone Tail Rubbers .
Step 1.
Using a good set of pliers remove the eye of the swivel furthest from the leader.
Leaving just the swivel barrel and the eye attached to the Korda Safe Zone leader loop, I know in past demonstrations of this setup by others the whole swivel have been left but Ive found it takes a lot less to discharge the lead this way especially with slower takes.
Step 2.
Now slide a tail rubber up the leader.
Step 3.
Using the pliers again trim a small length of the plastic insert from the inline lead, making it even easier to drop the lead.
Step 3.
Now attach a Korda Stick Clip to the eye of the swivel.
Step 4.
Then push the swivel into the bottom of the lead, making sure it goes in barrel first. It will just about sit comfortably in the insert.
Step 5.
Now slide the tail rubber onto the trimmed down plastic insert and pull it tight making sure it holds the swivel in place.
The finished setup should look like this and should discharge the lead on the take making it easier and safer when fishing for big carp in weedy waters.
