Description

This leadcore chod system incorporates our No-Trace System and creates a completely safe set up for use on leadcore, and similar diameter leader materials such as the fused Dark Matter range. It is designed such that should your main line break above the leader knot, your hook link can easily come free from the leader and all the fish is left with is the trace, rather than towing around a leader, or worst still a lead as well. Even some of the safer leadcore helicopter set-ups have always suffered from the potential for weed or debris to build up on the knot and potentially prevent rubber beads from pulling over it and allowing the hook link to come free. But the No-Trace Beads solve that issue because as soon as they are pulled free from the retaining rubber Chod Sleeve, which holds them securely in place on the leader for casting and normal use, the slit in the side allows the bead to drop off of the leader altogether, leaving your size 11 Ring Swivel (not supplied as part of this system) to easily be pulled over any leadcore knot or splice. At the lead end a Barrel Bead acts as a buffer. The whole system is easily fitted onto your leader and can be used with both chod rigs and conventional helicopter set-ups, such as a Heli-Safe System.Each Leadcore Chod Safety System contains: 8 x Chod Sleeves; 8 x Barrel Beads; and 12 x No-Trace Beads. Spare No-Trace Beads are also sold separately.

Field Notes

Use this leadcore chod safety system when fishing with leadcore (or similar diameter fused leader materials) to reduce the chance of fish towing a full lead/leader if the main line breaks above the leader knot. It’s designed to let the hook link/traces separate cleanly while leaving only the trace behind, and it can be used with both chod rigs and conventional helicopter-style setups.

Pros

  • Designed for safer leadcore setups if the main line breaks
  • No-Trace beads drop off to prevent knot/weed buildup from stopping bead movement
  • Works with chod rigs and conventional helicopter setups

Cons

  • Requires compatible leader/rig components (e.g., ring swivel not supplied)
  • More setup steps than a basic leader-to-hooklink connection
