NASH Tungsten Weed Lead Clip Tail Rubber Sleeve

Product benefits

The NASH Tungsten Lead Clip Tail Rubber is a finishing sleeve specially designed for rigs using a lead clip. Thanks to its high-density tungsten content, this carp fishing accessory effectively holds the terminal section of your line on the bottom, improving rig stealth and reducing the risk of detection by the most wary fish.

By covering the base of the lead clip and the swivel, this tungsten lead clip sleeve provides a smooth transition between the mainline, the clip and the hooklink. It reduces visible break points, protects sensitive knots and contributes to the overall reliability of your rigs, whether you fish short or long range.

Designed by NASH, a recognised name in the carp fishing world, this tail rubber stands out for its refined finish and ease of use. It is suitable for beginner anglers who want to secure their rigs as well as specialists seeking an ultra-discreet rig presentation.

This tail rubber has been developed to optimise the performance of modern lead-clip rigs while remaining quick and easy to fit at the water’s edge.

• Tapered shape designed to neatly cover the lead clip and swivel.
• Mechanical protection for knots around the swivel and clip.
• Matte, low-reflective finish to minimise glare and enhance stealth.
• Designed to fit most standard market lead clips.
• Quick to fit and remove, even with cold or wet fingers.
• Ideal for carp rigs using an ejectable lead clip system.

Benefits and key points

The main advantage of the NASH Tungsten Lead Clip Tail Rubber is its ability to combine stealth, safety and simplicity. By weighting the terminal section of the line, it helps the hooklink settle naturally on the bottom, reducing the chance of visual or tactile detection by cautious fish. This is a major asset for any approach where a natural presentation is essential.

The sleeve also protects knots from abrasion, impacts and small bottom irregularities. It reduces the risk of premature rig failure and therefore contributes to overall reliability, especially during fights with large fish. In the event of snagging, a correctly set lead-clip system paired with the tail rubber allows the lead to free, improving fish safety and reducing lost rigs on the bottom.

Versatile, this tail rubber for carp rigs performs well in many situations: margin fishing, long casts, snaggy areas, hard or uneven bottoms. Its design makes it a discreet but decisive accessory to optimise the function of your lead-clip rigs.

Usage instructions

To get the best from the NASH Tungsten Lead Clip Tail Rubber, start by sliding the sleeve onto your mainline or rig tubing before fitting the lead clip. Assemble your system by attaching the clip to the swivel and the hooklink. Once the lead is in place, slide the tail rubber over the lead clip to neatly cover the assembly.

The depth at which the sleeve is pushed over the clip allows you to adjust the force required for the lead to release. The deeper you insert the tail rubber, the firmer the hold; conversely, leaving it slightly exposed makes the lead easier to detach in a snag. It is recommended to test the release strength before casting to match the setting to the type of bottom and obstacle level.

After each session, inspect your tungsten lead clip sleeve for cracks, tears or significant deformation. Simple maintenance — rinsing with freshwater and storing away from excessive heat — will extend its life and preserve performance.

FAQ

Question 1 : Is this tail rubber reserved for carp fishing?

Answer: It was primarily designed for carp rigs using a lead clip, but it can also be used for other species when a discreet, secure lead-clip system is desired.

Question 2 : Is it compatible with other brands of lead clips?

Answer: The product is intended to fit the majority of standard-size lead clips on the market. However, it is advisable to check the fit with your own gear and test lead release before real use.

Question 3 : How do I adjust the lead release force?

Answer: To increase hold, push the tail rubber further over the lead clip. To make the lead release more easily in a snag, leave the sleeve slightly less inserted. A simple test at the water’s edge helps find the ideal balance between fish safety and secure hold when casting.
