Description

This ingenious system revolutionised fishing with helicopter rigs, as it meant that leads could consistently be discharged as soon as you hooked a fish, whenever the situation meant that this was essential. As well as dropping the lead when you are fishing in very weedy or snaggy situations, it is also popular with anyone using a chod rig, where ejecting the lead increases your chances of landing a fish, especially at long range where a heavy lead is being used. There is also the option though to fit a small plastic collar (supplied) which fixes the lead in place, for use in situations where dropping it isn’t necessary, but you still want the versatility that the Heli-Safe System offers. It can be used in conjunction with leaders – such as any ring swivel leader in our Dark Matter or Kable Leadcore ranges, which can be adapted to fit the Heli-Safe bead – or with a naked set-up with your main line straight through to it. Heli-Safe System works perfectly in conjunction with our Leadcore Chod Safety or Naked Chod Safety systems. Each pack contains two Heli-Safe beads, in a choice of green or brown, along with all the bits you need to make it work – including instructions.

Field Notes

Use the Heli-Safe system to build a helicopter-style rig where the lead can be ejected as soon as you hook a fish. It’s especially useful in very weedy or snaggy spots, and for chod rig setups where dropping a heavy lead improves landing rates at range. The included collar option lets you fix the lead when you don’t need it to eject.

Pros

  • Allows consistent lead ejection on the hook
  • Helps prevent lost fish in weedy or snaggy areas
  • Works with chod rigs and long-range heavy leads
  • Collar option lets you lock the lead when ejection isn’t needed

Cons

  • Requires rig setup/compatibility with your leader system
  • Not a complete rig by itself (needs hooks/leader/lead setup)
