Safe Zone' has basically come about through filming the State of the Art Underwater Carp Fishing films. Watching a pattern emerge is quite simply priceless, each film has shown something new but one common theme runs through them all,
'THE FISH KNOW THEY ARE BEING FISHED FOR!'
Make no mistake the rig you are using at this very moment can be seen by the carp, and the brighter the sun and the clearer the water the more it stands out. Fortunately competitive feeding and being lucky enough for the rig to lay right every now and again does lead to captures but do not kid yourself, your rigs ability to blend into its background will affect your run rate, I have seen that the less they feel they are being fished for the more bites you will get.
This totally unique experience has shown me that if we can create a 'Safe Zone' around the hookbait then we will get more bites; this is why we are the only company selling several different colours of all our rig items so that you have the option of matching your rig to the lakebed it will be resting on. So how do we know the new safe zone leaders really do blend in? Because we actually took samples of the different types of lakebed and sent them to the manufacturers so they could colour match to some actual Silk Weed, Gravel, Silt and Clay. To you and I the colours may not look right but simply drop them in on the type of lakebed we say they are suited to and watch them disappear.
THERE ARE 3 TYPES:
One with a size 8 ring swivel on the end for use with our in line leads, lead clips, running rigs and method feeders, once wet all these types of lead system will easily slip over the tungsten collars and the welded loop at the end of the leader. When the leaders are dry products such as inline leads and method feeders will stick to the tungsten sections and you will think they are unsafe but when wet they slip over them with ease and lets face it when underwater they'll always be moist.
The second type has one of the new hybrid lead clips welded to the end, here all you have to do is tie it on, clip on your hooklink and lead and you're angling with probably the most advanced lead clip system available.
Lastly we have a helicopter/chod version, it can fished as standard helicopter rig with the hooklink semi fixed by the lead or with the hooklink right up the leader chod rig style, all the components have been specially designed to create the sexiest looking and efficiently working helicopter rig ever made.
All the leaders have two lengths of tungsten melted onto them 1/3 and 2/3 of the way down the length to ensure the whole leader sinks to the lakebed on a slack line. Compare them to anything else on the market and it is blatantly obvious a great deal of thought has gone into them. We have made them shorter than normal leaders on purpose, 2.5 feet on the lead clip and swivel versions and 3 feet on the chod.
There is no anti-tangle system in the world that is harder to see
than the line on your reel so we feel you should use the shortest
anti-tangle system possible, if you don't believe us check out
Part 2 of the Underwater films, our divers film the rigs out in
the lake and even a small bobbin could actually lift long lengths
of leadcore off the bottom! So my tip is, feel the lead hit the
bottom slacken the whole lot off and use the lightest bobbin you
can to keep that line as close to the lakebed as possible.
