The 4Carpers Heli Leader System – Drop-Off Version is a custom-built, ready-made helicopter leader featuring a lead release mechanism, designed for situations where safety, clean presentation and control during the fight are critical.
The system is built on a fast-sinking, lead-free spliceable leader that follows the lakebed closely. The helicopter configuration allows the use of various hooklink setups while retaining the ability to eject the lead immediately once a fish is hooked or under heavy pressure.
The drop-off mechanism operates automatically — the lead is released when the hooklink swivel pulls against the upper sliding bead. This significantly reduces risk during the fight, especially when fishing in weed, snags or over difficult bottoms and when using chod-style presentations.
Compared to traditional helicopter systems, the drop-off setup is more compact, less obtrusive on the lakebed and creates less air resistance during the cast. Once the lead has been ejected, the reduced profile also lowers the chance of the system becoming snagged during the fight.
Drop-Off adjustment options:
The system includes multiple lead retention settings, allowing anglers to fine-tune when the lead is released:
-
Light (soft) spring – provides minimal resistance, allowing the lead to eject under very light pressure. Ideal for weedy, snaggy or challenging conditions.
-
Red (hard) spring – requires significantly more pressure before the lead is released. Best suited to cleaner waters where lead ejection is only occasionally required.
-
Plastic locking collar – completely disables the drop-off function, converting the system into a fixed helicopter setup with no lead release.
This versatility allows the same system to be used as either a true drop-off heli rig or a fixed helicopter leader.
System construction (functional principle):
-
Fast-sinking, lead-free spliceable leader
-
Drop-off lead release mechanism
-
Quick Change swivel with additional ring
-
Sliding helicopter configuration for hooklink control
