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 contains: 8 x Chod Sleeves; 8 x Barrel Beads; and 12 x No-Trace Beads. Spare No-Trace Beads are also sold separately.

Naked Chod Safety System

The naked chod rig, fished directly on your main line, is an incredibly effective set-up, especially when you dont want to disturb fish already in front of you, but cant be sure that it is clear on the bottom, as your hookbait will always be presented in a way that it can be taken by a carp, even if it lands on weed. It is less obtrusive than one involving a leader, and is also the perfect choice on waters where leaders are banned. The Naked Chod Safety System is the perfect not to mention very simple way to set this up quickly and efficiently and contains all of the components you need, apart from a Size 11 Ring Swivel or Size 11 QC Ring Swivel. The system comprises of a Rubber Barrel Bead, which goes closest to the lead, and then your Ring swivel is sandwiched between that and a Chod Sleeve – with both components being supplied on a wire retainer which makes it very easy to thread them onto your line, which they will then grip and remain in place at whatever distance you set them above your lead (depending on the type of debris you are fishing over). The Ring Swivel is prevented from sliding up the line beyond the Chod Sleeve once a hard plastic No Trace Bead is fitted to that. Should your main line break above the Chod Sleeve, then the No Trace Bead which has a slit in the side of it – easily pops off of it and falls off of your line, allowing the Ring Swivel to come free, and the fish is left with just the hook link.

Each includes: 3 x Chod Sleeves; 3 x Barrel Beads; and 12 x No Trace Beads.

Spare No Trace Beads are also available and are sold in packs of 25.
