Korda - Lead Clip

Our original Lead Clip was designed to allow your lead to release in situations where you needed it to, such as if you got snagged or a fish went through thick weed. But the lead won’t come off as easily as it will with our Quick Release Lead Clip, and so avoids unnecessarily dumping leads, unless you really need to for the safety of a fish. The plastic retaining arm is strong enough to take even the hardest cast with a heavy lead without fear of it breaking, and the back end of the main body of the Lead Clip has grooves which help the Tail Rubber to stay on and only come off when it needs to. You can alter the ease with which it releases the lead, dependent on how far you push the Tail Rubber onto the body. To achieve an easy release of the lead, you need to ensure that the Lead Clip can’t run freely on the line, and it is designed such that a size 8 Swivel will fit snugly into the nose of it and will remain in place. This is a very safe semi-fixed set-up, and if used correctly will ensure that the fish can always get rid of your lead, even if your main line breaks. The Lead Clip comes in a choice of colours – Clay; Weed; Silt; or Gravel – with ten in each pack.   

The Quick Release Lead Clip is designed to be used in situations where you need to drop the lead as soon as the fish is hooked, such as when fishing weedy or snaggy lakes and it is imperative to do so in order to give you the best chance of landing it. The retaining arm is totally smooth to aid ejection, and the back end of the body has specially engineered grooves moulded into it, which prevent the tail rubber from gripping too tightly and ensuring that it comes off with minimal pressure. The Quick Release Lead Clip is still designed in such a way though that heavy leads can be cast a long way, without danger of them coming off in flight. They come in a choice of colours, Weed/Silt or Gravel/Clay, with ten in a pack.

The Multi Lead Clip is a universal lead system which can either be set to eject the lead as per a conventional lead clip or fished running style to confuse those extremely wary carp. DF and the Korda boys who fish Gigantica every year have been using this ‘running style’ lead clip for many years and has proven to be one of the very best set-ups for hooking the extremely pressured carp on the Main Lake. The running method works by removing any pivot point which may help the carp eject the hook; the lead continues to slide up the main line as the fish pulls against it. To force the lead to eject when snagged, use the supplied pins to plug the swivel or Kwik Link into the clip. This will lock the lead clip in to place and allow the lead to be ejected. Compatible with all tail rubbers in the Korda range but ensure the clip is wet before pushing on and for fish safety, never push the tail rubber on fully. To fish running, do not plug the Swivel or Kwik Link, allowing the lead to slide up the main line. Available in Weed/Silt and Gravel/Clay.

Since its release, the Hybrid Lead Clip has established itself as the best clip on the market. It has one very simple purpose, and that's to help you ditch the lead if the fish you hook becomes snagged. The design features an integrally moulded Ring Swivel, ensuring that the swivel simply cannot pull free from its housing. This forces lead ejection in the event of it becoming jammed, meaning that carp can be landed easily in weedy, snaggy conditions. The streamlined, one-piece design means there are no fiddly locking pegs or hinges to worry about - just connect the leader to one end and the rig to the other! The uprated arm allows leads up to 5oz to be cast safely even at extreme range and the clip is available in all four of the key Safe Zone colours: weedy green, clay, gravel and silt. You get eight in a pack.

This is a quick change version of our original Hybrid Lead Clip, and allows you to quickly and easily change hook, simply by clipping on a new one, as long as it has a loop tied in the end of it. The Hybrid Lead Clip QC has been designed so that it will eject the lead if it gets stuck in weed or snags, and so that it can also be used in conjunction with leader materials such as leadcore, which form too bulky a knot to work with our normal Lead Clips. The clip features an integrally moulded QC Swivel, with a metal loop at the other end of it, which your main line or leader is tied to. Because the swivel can’t pull free from the housing, it works whenever the lead needs to be ejected. The streamlined, one-piece design means there are no fiddly locking pegs or hinges to worry about - just connect the leader to one end and the rig to the other! The uprated arm allows leads up to 5oz to be cast safely even at extreme range and the clip is available in Weed/Silt or Gravel/Clay, with eight in a packet.
