NASH Sliding Chod Bead Heli Rig Kit

Product Benefits

The NASH Sliding Chod Bead Heli Kit is a complete chod kit specially designed to optimise your carp fishing rigs. Thanks to its large-bore chod bead and sliding system, it allows the hooklink to move freely along the mainline or a suitable leader. This smooth movement improves the presentation of the rig, especially when carp feed over uneven bottoms covered in weed or debris. With this kit you have a reliable and consistent solution for creating effective chod and helicopter rigs without compromising stealth or fish safety.

Each component has been engineered to work in synergy: the sliding chod bead protects the hooklink, the profiled top bead releases the rig easily in the event of line breakage, and the buffer system maintains a constant distance between the weight and the hooklink. The result: cleaner, safer and more effective rigs, even in the most demanding fishing situations, whether you're targeting big carp in stillwaters, gravel pits or medium-current rivers.

Technical Specifications

• Chod bead with enlarged bore allowing free sliding on bare mainline, leadcore and suitable leaders.
• Removable, profiled top bead designed to pass easily over knot tops and to enhance fish safety in case of line failure.
• Buffer Boom exclusive system creating a controlled gap between the weight and the hooklink to limit leverage and absorb violent runs.
• Lead sleeve designed to promote an anti-tangle rig setup and significantly reduce the risk of tangles on the cast.
• Kit conceived for building modern chod and helicopter rigs, suitable for many carp fishing situations.
• Coordinated set of components allowing construction of several complete, consistent and repeatable rigs.

By bringing beads, buffer and sleeve together in a single pack, this chod & heli rig kit simplifies the setup of technically advanced rigs, even for carp anglers new to this style of presentation.

Benefits and Key Strengths

The main advantage of this kit lies in the freedom of movement it gives the hooklink. The rig can naturally position itself above obstacles or silt, which noticeably increases capture rates when carp are wary of overly rigid presentations. The sliding bead combined with the Buffer Boom improves bite detection while reducing the risk of losing the fish during the fight.

The kit's design also takes fish safety into account. In the event of breakage, the profiled top bead is engineered to slide beyond knots, allowing the weight and the rest of the rig to be released. This fish-friendly approach has become a standard on the most technical waters and helps you stay compliant with regulations and best practices of modern carp fishing.

Finally, the kit's completeness saves valuable time at the bank. Rather than hunting for compatible components, you get a coherent ready-to-assemble set, enabling you to focus on what matters: locating fish, refining your approach and adapting your baits.

How to Use

To get the most from the NASH Sliding Chod Bead Heli Kit, start by threading the large-bore chod bead onto your bare mainline or chosen leader, then add the Buffer Boom and the lead sleeve according to the desired configuration. Position your weight and the chod hooklink so that it can slide freely and settle on the most favourable part of the bottom.

Before each cast, check that the bead slides without obstruction and that the top bead can easily pass over knots. Take the time to test the rig in the margins to verify its presentation above debris and weed. Adapt the length of your hooklink and the weight of the lead according to depth, bottom composition and fish behaviour. Regular maintenance of the mainline and knots will ensure maximum safety and lasting efficiency of your chod & heli rig.

FAQ

Question 1 : Is this kit suitable for both naked rigs and leadcore rigs?

Answer: Yes, the large-bore chod bead is designed to slide freely on bare mainline, leadcores and suitable leaders to integrate with the majority of chod and helicopter configurations.

Question 2 : Is the system really safe for carp in case of line breakage?

Answer: The removable, profiled top bead is designed to pass over connection knots, allowing the weight and the rest of the rig to be released. Combined with the Buffer Boom which cushions runs, this kit offers a high-performance presentation respectful of fish safety.
