Lead clips, tail rubbers
Clips, cones
A lead clip is a plastic component designed to release the lead if it becomes snagged or jammed during the fight. With the help of this device, the lead can detach easily from the rig, allowing the fish to be landed more safely and without unnecessary difficulty. A new lead can then be fitted quickly, making it easy to restore the rig. A lead clip setup also helps protect the fish in the event of a line break during the fight, since the release of the lead reduces the risk of the fish being forced to drag it continuously. Clip connectors are complementary components specifically designed to be used together with clips, and in some cases with anti-tangle tubing, to create a setup that reduces the risk of tangles while also allowing the lead to discharge properly.
Protective tubes and anti-tangle tubes in this category serve a dual purpose. On the one hand, they protect the line from abrasion caused by the lead or weight. On the other hand, they help reduce the risk of tangling during the cast or while retrieving the rig. In a similar way, rubber sleeves also contribute to a more efficient rig setup, improve aerodynamics, and help minimise the risk of tangles.
Protective sleeves can be used in a variety of situations, such as smoothing the transition between the lead and the leader, or camouflaging different elements of the rig, including loops, swivels, or other metal components.
