Gardner Covert Lead Safe System
We recommend adding a length of Covert Sinking Rig Tubing or Covert Tungsten Tubing pushed into the Tail Rubber to reduce the incidence of tangles, especially if you’re using a soft and supple hooklink material.
When using Covert Lead-Safe System clips with shock leaders (for extreme range fishing) it is worth doctoring the tail rubber (by trimming the narrow end) enlarging the central bore to ensure that it will pass easily over the leader knot allowing the lead to release from the leader.
- Each pack contains 5 x Lead Safe clips and 5 x dedicated tail rubbers.
- Available in 3 C-Thru camo colours (Green, Brown and Silt).
The new Covert Lead-Safe System allows carp and specialist anglers to construct simple, super safe, tangle free bolt rigs suitable for fishing on any venue or angling scenario, in which losing a lead would be unnecessary. Basically, if you’re fishing on a venue that has no significant weed or snags near your swim, ditching the lead is a waste of money and on many managed commercial venues it’s just not necessary.
The design of the Lead-Safe System is based on similar principles of a straight forward lead clip and tail rubber design. This most anglers understand as they have been available for many years, with the lead clip being retained by a standard size 8 swivel that clicks securely in place. Instead of mounting the lead on an external ‘arm’, as used on a conventional lead clip systems (that allows the lead to discharge), the lead swivel is retained on the back of the system clip itself with a tail rubber. This means that in the event of a lost rig the lead/tail rubber can pull off the clip and run down the line so it’s still safe.
