Leadcore Chod System

Description

This 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/leader safety system when fishing chod rigs or helicopter-style setups with leadcore (or similar diameter fused leader materials). If your main line breaks above the leader knot, the hook link is designed to release from the leader so the fish is left with only the trace rather than towing leadcore/leader.

Pros

  • Designed to reduce fish towing if the main line breaks above the leader knot
  • No-Trace beads drop off to help the hook link clear knots/splices and reduce weed/debris buildup issues
  • Works with both chod rigs and conventional helicopter setups

Cons

  • Requires compatible ring swivel (size 11 mentioned) and correct rig assembly
  • Not a complete rig by itself (only the safety components are included)
