The safest top release bead for chod and helicopter rigs on Cling-On leadless leaders or Leadcore, allowing links to be secured for the longest casts but still slide free in event of line breakage to prevent a carp towing an end tackle, and without discarding components into the environment.

Thread over spliced loops using a gated needle for optimum grip. Under controlled pressure the bead slides from the tapered central stop to allow a hooklink to pass safely off the leader.

Tungsten impregnated, extra dense Leadcore Helicopter Beads also add weight to the leader for improved concealment especially when slack lining.

Leadcore Helicopter Top Beads can be re-used by threading on to Splicing Needles (T8805) and mounting again for a new end tackle.
