NASH Tungsten Weed Lead Clip (Safety Lead Clip)

Product benefits

The NASH Tungsten Weed Lead Clip is a safety lead clip specially designed for carp fishing in obstructed environments. Its design allows the controlled ejection of the lead when it becomes trapped in weed, snags or debris on the lakebed. By releasing the weight quickly, the rig limits the risk of being stuck, reduces breakages and helps protect the fish during the fight.

Thanks to its tungsten-weighted body, this clip helps to keep the terminal section of the rig pinned to the bottom, greatly improving concealment. Tungsten has a higher density than many common materials, allowing a more compact profile for the same weight. This behaviour is especially appreciated by carp anglers seeking very discreet rigs for wary, educated fish.

This carp lead clip system is based on a simple safety principle: the lead is held until the hookset and the start of the fight, then can detach if the pressure becomes too great or if the rig remains snagged in weed. The fish therefore does not have to carry a stuck lead, which preserves its integrity and increases the chances of landing the carp in good condition.

• Safety-oriented design to limit the risk of permanent lead snags.
• Tungsten body helps keep the rig on the bottom.
• Reliable, repeatable system suitable for modern carp rigs.
• Ideal for waters rich in weed, snags and debris.

Technical specifications

• Safety lead clip for carp rigs, designed to release the lead in case of heavy snagging.
• Weighted body made of high-density tungsten compound for better bottom hold and discreet presentation.
• Internal architecture engineered to favour a progressive ejection of the lead when tension exceeds a set threshold.
• Reception area sized for a standard carp swivel, allowing smooth rotation of the rig.
• Shape optimized to fit many carp fishing rigs (bottom rigs, combi-rigs, adapted helicopter rigs, etc.).
• Discrete appearance designed to blend into dark bottoms, weed and debris-laden substrates.

Advantages and strengths

The main advantage of this clip is its ability to combine mechanical efficiency and fish safety. By promoting the ejection of the lead when it becomes stuck, the rig frees itself more easily from obstacles. The fish can then be brought in without dragging a heavy weight, significantly reducing pressure on the mouth and the leader.

The integrated tungsten in the clip body helps pin the whole rig close to the bottom. This characteristic is ideal in areas frequented by very wary carp that quickly detect poorly placed or too-visible lines. By reducing the visibility of the rig, the NASH Tungsten Weed Lead Clip helps increase bites on heavily fished spots.

Its versatile design makes it compatible with a wide range of carp fishing rigs. Whether fishing short or medium range, on moderately or heavily snagged bottoms, this safety lead clip can be easily integrated into your kit. It is aimed at both experienced anglers seeking technical solutions and anglers wanting to increase the safety of their rigs.

• Safer rig for the fish thanks to lead release in case of snag.
• Enhanced discretion thanks to the tungsten body that keeps the rig pinned to the bottom.
• Versatile use across different types of snag-prone waters.
• Easy integration into most current carp rigs.

Usage advice

To get the most out of this safety lead clip, it is recommended to carefully set up each step of the rig. Start by attaching a good-quality carp swivel to your leader, then engage it into the clip body designed for this purpose. Ensure the assembly remains free enough to allow hook and leader rotation, while providing reliable hold of the lead until the hookset.

• Set the holding firmness so the lead releases only under strong tension or a pronounced snag.
• Regularly check the clip, leader and swivel after each fish or snag.
• Adapt the weight and shape of the lead to fishing conditions (current, depth, weed density) to optimize rig behavior.
• Pair the clip with a suitable leader and a strong mainline to fully benefit from the safety rig concept.

In heavily snagged areas, it is advisable to test the rig near the bank before casting: apply progressive traction to check how the lead releases and adjust the holding firmness if necessary. This simple step ensures that the lead ejection occurs at the right moment, neither too early nor too late.

Testimonials

"Since I started using this tungsten clip on my safety rigs I lose far fewer fish in the weed. The lead detaches when it should, and I land my carp in much better condition."

"On a very pressured water, the concealment provided by the tungsten clearly made the difference. My rig stays pinned to the bottom, and bites have multiplied on spots that were heavily fished."

FAQ

Question 1: Is this safety lead clip only suitable for very weedy bottoms?

Answer: It was developed to excel in obstructed, weed-rich environments, but it is perfectly suitable for other situations. Its ability to pin the rig to the bottom and to release the lead in case of snagging makes it an asset on many waters whenever fish safety and rig security are a priority.
