Product Information
Full details
The Fox Edges Camo Running Safety Clip Kit is designed for carp anglers fishing on heavily pressured venues who need a rig that hooks fish effectively while preventing them from using the lead weight to shed the hook. This system combines the benefits of a bolt rig for immediate hook-setting power with a running rig setup after the initial hook-up, ensuring the lead does not act as a lever. While it offers superior security, the modular nature of the components requires careful assembly to ensure the release mechanism functions correctly during a fight.

FAQs
Does this kit come with everything needed to build the rig?
Yes, it includes 5 sets of safety clips, tail rubbers, plugs, T-pegs, and Kwik Change swivels.
Is this a true running rig?
It functions as a hybrid; it hooks like a bolt rig, but the clip releases from the plug to allow the line to run freely through the clip once the fish is hooked.
Can I use this with any lead weight?
It is designed to work with standard carp leads that are compatible with Fox safety clip systems.
How do I ensure the lead doesn't fall off too easily?
You can adjust the depth to which the tail rubber is pushed onto the clip to fine-tune the retention force.
Is the Edges Camo color effective for all lakebeds?
The camo pattern is designed to break up the outline of the terminal tackle, making it effective on gravel, silt, and weed-covered bottoms.
Troubleshooting
The clip does not release the weight during a fight.
Check if the tail rubber is pushed on too tightly; adjust it slightly to decrease the grip pressure.
The plug is difficult to pull inside the safety clip.
Ensure no debris or silt is trapped inside the clip and that the T-peg is seated flush with the plug.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents carp from using the lead to shake the hook
- Reduces the number of lost leads during landing
- Perfect for fish that have become wary of standard fixed rigs
- Components integrate perfectly for smooth operation
- High-quality, camo-patterned material for stealth
Cons
- Requires more assembly steps than a standard lead clip
- Not intended for extreme distance casting where lead ejection is required for safety
- Careful setup is needed to ensure the clip discharges from the plug
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble the rig, thread your mainline through the safety clip and attach your leader or swivel. Connect the Kwik Change swivel to your rig, lock it into the rubberized plug using the provided T-peg, and pull the plug into the safety clip body. Adjust the tail rubber to control the force required to discharge the weight. Always inspect the tail rubber for wear after landing a fish to ensure it still provides the correct grip tension. Clean the components with fresh water after fishing, especially if used in silty or sandy conditions, to ensure the plug moves freely within the clip.
