How To Set Up The MCF Dumper Lead Clip
Sunday, December 13th, 2009The MCF Dumper Lead Clip is a very clever and innovative lead clip that is guaranteed to drop the lead in the event of a fish snagging or weeding you up. The tapered sleeves incorporated in this lead clip system help to minimise tangles. This Carp Catchers Blog will show you step by step how to set it up.

These can be set-up with any form of leader or tubing but for the purpose of this demonstration I used a ready spliced leadcore leader.
Step 1.
Using a bait needle thread the small rubber sleeve onto your leader or tubing.

Step 2.
Now you need to pass your spliced leader loop through the metal loop on the lead clip. Or tie on your mainline with your rig tubing already threaded on (Miss steps 3 and 4).

Step 3.
Then pass the lead clip through the loop in the end of your leader.

Step 4.
Pull the leader to secure the loop around the metal loop.

Step 5.
Push the small rubber sleeve over the metal loop.

Step 6.
Now push a baiting needle through the longer sleeve from next to the metal hook out of the tapered end and latch the baiting needle onto your choosen rig.

Step 7.
Once you’ve pulled your hooklink through loop it over the metal hook.

Step 8.
To finish the setup pull the hooklink tight and clip on a lead.

The lead should not eject on a normal force cast, however if a distance cast is required I would suggest securing the lead in place with PVA tape.
If you are using rig tubing then adapt the instructions accordingly.
