FAQs
Can I use this with lead clips?
This leader is specifically designed for helicopter-style setups rather than standard lead clip systems.
What is the breaking strain of this leader?
The material features a robust 30lb breaking strain.
How do I attach my hook link?
The leader includes a QC (Quick Change) Ring Swivel, allowing you to attach your hook link by simply sliding the eye over the swivel and securing it.
Is this leader safe for fish?
Yes, the ChodSafe system ensures that the hook link can detach from the leader in the event of a main line breakage, preventing the fish from dragging the lead.
Can I use this in heavy weed?
Yes, the adjustable top bead allows you to tailor your presentation to ensure the hook link remains clear of deep weed or silt.
Troubleshooting
Leader feels light or rises off the bottom
Ensure you are using the correct length and that no debris is preventing the tungsten collars from settling.
Hook link becomes tangled during the cast
Check that your top bead is properly positioned and consider using an anti-tangle sleeve on your hook link connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Main Line Connection: Use the fused loop at the end of the leader to connect to your main line via a loop-to-loop connection or a specialized leadcore knot.
- Hook Link Attachment: Slide your chosen hook link swivel onto the QC Ring Swivel and secure it with a small piece of shrink tube or a dedicated sleeve.
- Bead Adjustment: Move the top bead to the desired position on the leader to control the hook link's travel during the cast and descent.
- Care: After each session, inspect the leader for signs of fraying caused by sharp snags. Rinse the leader with fresh water to remove any lingering silt or organic matter before storing it in a cool, dry place to maintain material integrity.
