Safezone Kamo Leaders
If your whole presentation is tangled as it hits the bottom of the lake bed you are not going to get a take on it, no matter how attractive the hook bait. This is why we pay so much attention to what goes behind the lead and how smooth the taper is between the two.
As always you will not find numerous sizes of any of our anti-tangle systems - one size fits all is our motto. We are all for making it simpler and more cost effective, and in reality a slightly thinner or thicker anti-tangle system will not catch you any more carp.
However, having exactly the right colour anti-tangle system will, that is why we sell three colours of rig tube. Matching this part of the rig to the lake bed will make more of a difference to the camouflage of your rig than any other aspect; bearing in mind this is the largest part of the whole rig.
Next time you go angling drop your rig in the edge, how camouflaged is it? Can you see it from several feet above? Imagine a carp several inches above it. From our underwater filming there can be no doubt, if the carp can see the set-up they will be much harder to catch.
No other company produces such a wide range of colours because no other company has seen how much difference it can make. We shall continue to strive for more and better ways of stopping tangles and fooling those most cautious carp.
Safezone Spares
To compliment our fantastic Kamo Leaders, we have many spares to fit all. Each Rubber Bead, Heli Sleeve, Run Rig Rubber and Heli Bead is designed to slide and fit over each leader with ease.
The carefully constructed rubber is safe and will detach itself from the leader should a fish become snagged or buried in a weedbed.
The Run Rig Rubber offers a completely different arrangement in the form of a free-running rig -- a presentation that has to be one of the most sensitive forms of bite indication. As a carp sucks in the hook bait and moves away, it will immediately register on the bobbin, due to the way that the line runs freely through the lead. Basically, your swivel lead will be mounted onto the rubber but it can be pulled off with ease forming the running rig.
The other items in the Safezone range compliment the popular helicopter/chod leaders. Items such as the Heli Bead not only hold your hooklength in place on a helicopter rig, but they also create one of Danny Fairbrass' favourite lead setups -- known as the Shokka.
Once again the Shokka's emphasis is placed on a free-running presentation. During the Underwater Films, we identified that carp will often use the weight of the lead to eject and spit out the rig. By a savage shake of the head, the carp will literally sling the rig across the lake bed without getting hooked at all. As a result, Danny concocted the Shokka. When a fish picks up the bait, the leader will move through the lead creating virtually no resistance, causing the fish to move off with the bait confidently. Then, as it gathers pace the lead will hit the backstop and BANG -- the hook will drive home. Job done! For more info on how to tie such presentations check out the features section.
