Product Details and Uses

Use with or without the tapered top bead for helicopter or sliding chods. Sits neatly over Link Clips or lead swivels, protects knots and reduces tangle points. Compatible with anti-tangle tubing, leadcore, leadless leaders and naked end tackles.

The Helicopter Sleeve is a multi-purpose component that serves as the anchor for your helicopter system. Its primary job is to shroud the connection between your leader and your lead, preventing the hooklink from catching on the clip or swivel during the cast. Because of its tapered, rounded design, it minimizes drag in the air and prevents weed or debris from snagging on the end tackle during the retrieve. Whether you are using a dedicated leader or fishing naked on your mainline, these sleeves are essential for creating a safe, anti-tangle setup.

Gerrys Pro Tip

The Safe Sliding Chod: If you are fishing naked (directly on your mainline) with a sliding Chod rig, place one of these sleeves over your lead clip and use a Nash Bore Bead above it. This ensures that if your mainline breaks, the rig can easily slide over the sleeve and off the line, making your setup 100% fish-safe while still maintaining that perfect sliding distance.

Examples of Where to Use

• Standard Helicopter Rigs: The go-to component for covering the lead connection and providing a base for your hooklink to rotate around.

• Naked Chod Rigs: Perfect for protecting your mainline knot when fishing a Chod rig directly on the mono.

• Leadcore Leaders: Fits snugly over spliced loops and lead clips to create a smooth, snag-free finish.

• Long-Distance Casting: The tapered profile reduces wind resistance and prevents the hooklink from wrapping around the lead in mid-air.

FAQs

Q: Can I use these sleeves with other brands of lead clips?A: Yes, the internal bore is designed to be flexible enough to sit neatly over most standard-sized Link Clips and lead swivels on the market.

Q: Do I need the top bead for every setup?A: Not necessarily. If you want a fixed helicopter rig, the sleeve alone is often enough to protect the joint. However, for sliding Chods or for added safety on leaders, using the tapered top bead is highly recommended.

Q: Are these sleeves safe for the fish?A: Absolutely.
