These super small, C-shaped clips from Thinking Anglers is a necessary piece of kit in order to improve your casting experience. Enables tough skinned baits like mackerel/eel sections to be lightly hooked. By attaching the C-clip to your trace system allows a vigorous cast to be made without needing to bury hooks in the tough skin of the bait, thereby avoiding the risk of not being able to strike the hooks into the pike's jaw.

The little plastic 'C' clips designed to replace 'rotten bottom lead attachments for chod and helicopter rigs. These casting clips are most commonly used to keep dowel pins in place. They allow rotation but restrict the lateral movement of shafts and dowel pins. This will keep the lead from simply bouncing or falling out the clip during the cast or as the lead hits the surface of the water.

An important benefit of using the C-clips is that they enable you to release your lead when it gets snagged or weeded up during a fight with a fish. This makes a reliable lead discharge system for rigs by creating a system that would be more dependable than simply tying a few overhand knots in a piece of 3lb or 4lb monofilament which many find to be inconsistent and unreliable.

Two versions are available; one which releases at 3lb pressure, and the other which releases at 6lb pressure. The clips are also available in a pack of 20 so you get plenty to work with and all are attached to a strip of plastic that you can easily snap off when you are ready to use them.

So for a lot of benefits during the rig’s flight, consider adding a C-Clip to your tackle collection.
