NASH Tungsten Helicopter Sleeve

Product Benefits

The Nash Tungsten Helicopter Sleeve is a tungsten sleeve specially developed for helicopter and chod rigs used in carp fishing. Its design keeps the rig securely positioned on the mainline or leader while ensuring safe release of the hooklink in case of breakage or snagging. It therefore meets the demands of modern carp anglers for fish safety and discreet presentation.

Thanks to its tungsten impregnation, this sleeve is dense enough to help pin the line to the lakebed. This added stealth reduces the risk of spooking fish, particularly on heavily fished waters. Its carefully shaped profile facilitates controlled sliding on the mainline and allows precise adjustment of the helicopter or chod rig position, while maintaining an excellent level of safety.

Technical Features

Designed for heavy use, the Nash tungsten helicopter sleeve combines a flexible, durable material with high density. It is suitable for a wide variety of mainlines and leaders, whether nylon, fluorocarbon or coated braid, according to each angler’s preference. Its conical profile promotes a clean, neat rig while optimizing hooklink release when conditions require it.

• Tungsten-weighted sleeve for helicopter and chod rigs.
• Engineered to encourage release of the hooklink in case of breakage or snagging.
• Compatible with many mainlines and leaders used in carp fishing.
• Conical profile for discreet presentation and smooth transition between rig components.
• Flexible material for easy rigging and reliable grip around the chosen component.
• Suited to modern carp fishing that requires safe and effective rigs.

Advantages and Key Strengths

One of the main strengths of this tungsten sleeve for helicopter rigs lies in its contribution to safety. By helping the system to release correctly under high tension, it reduces the risk of leaving a fish with a lead stuck on the line. This aspect has become essential for carp anglers committed to responsible fishing practices.

Its weighting effect also contributes to improved presentation. By pinning the line to the bottom, the sleeve reduces protruding angles and elements likely to alarm the wariest fish. The combination of tungsten density and a discreet design makes it a key component for optimizing the effectiveness of your helicopter and chod rigs, whether on lakes, gravel pits or slow rivers.

Usage Tips

To get the best performance from the Nash Tungsten Helicopter Sleeve, integrate it into a properly balanced helicopter or chod rig. Slide the sleeve onto the mainline or leader before fitting the other rig components so you can set its final position precisely. Make sure to leave enough freedom on the hooklink so it can free itself in case of breakage or heavy tension.

Adjust the distance between the sleeve and the lead according to the nature of the bottom and the desired presentation. On uneven or snaggy bottoms, positioning the sleeve slightly higher can help present the hooklink more reliably. Check the sleeve regularly, especially after a fight or a snag, to ensure it retains its safety and holding properties.

FAQ

Question 1 : Is this sleeve suitable for all line types used in carp fishing?

Answer: The Nash Tungsten Helicopter Sleeve is designed to be compatible with the majority of mainlines and leaders used in carp fishing, whether nylon, fluorocarbon or coated braid. It is however recommended to check line diameter and test the sliding action before fishing to ensure the fit matches your setup.

Question 2 : Can this sleeve be used for different rigs or only for helicopter setups?

Answer: The sleeve was primarily developed for helicopter and chod rigs, where it plays a key role in presentation and system safety. It can also be used in other rigs that require a weighted, sliding sleeve, provided the principle of hooklink release and fish safety is respected. Always adapt its use to your fishing style and general safe rigging guidelines.
