Drop off in-line lead set-up

Lots of anglers now use drop off in-lines but this set up is a bit different as the hooklength is NOT attached to the leadcore making it a safer rig ! Once the lead has dropped off the set-up it turns into a helicoptor set-up to which the bead can ride up and of the leadcore if any problem arise.




Step 1
Attach size 8 swivels to leadcore, push a 8mm oval rubber bead down onto the swivel this is a very tight fit.


Step 2
Place your hooklength on followed by a small 3mm oval bead. Then finally place a rig sleeve down.


Step 3
Take the insert from lead and cut in half placing the end piece back into the lead.


Step 4
Push the swivel and bead into the front of the lead.


Step 5
Push the 3mm bead and hooklength down on top of the 8mm bead and pull the leadcore over the top of the lead placing the rig sleeve onto the back insert.


Step 6
Rig completed, now the lead can drop as the beads pulls out the front first and then the rig sleeves will fall from the insert.

Extra Tips



1
With rig sleeve cut the pointed top off so the sleeve can pass of the top of leadcore with ease. Also cut a small square out the front so leadcore sits better at back of insert.







2.
When you have cut insert in half squash the end so when you put it back inside the lead it grips really well and will not fall out.
