Product Information
Full details
The Korum Smokescreen Lead Clip Kit is designed for anglers seeking advanced camouflage terminal tackle for quick and safe setups with feeders and leads. Its primary benefit is the discreet design and safety features that prevent snagging. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for feeders due to its thinner arm, which might not accommodate all lead types. This kit offers a scaled-down safety clip system for efficient rigging, featuring a smaller profile and a secure peg for the swivel, ensuring components remain in place during transit and casting. Each kit contains 4 Safety Clips, 4 Tail Rubbers, and 4 Snag Free QC Swivels.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Smokescreen camouflage?
The Smokescreen pattern is designed to blend in with various underwater environments, making your rig less visible to fish and potentially increasing your chances of a bite, especially with wary species.
Can I use this lead clip with any type of lead?
While it is designed for versatility, the thinner arm is optimized for feeders and smaller bore swivels. Very large or unusually shaped leads might not fit securely or allow for proper lead release.
How does the safety feature work?
The lead is designed to detach from the clip if it becomes snagged on underwater obstacles. This helps prevent your line from breaking and allows you to potentially retrieve your rig and land the fish.
What does 'QC Swivel' mean?
QC stands for Quick Change. These swivels allow you to quickly and easily change your hooklink without having to re-tie knots, which is useful for rapid rig adjustments.
What is included in each kit?
Each kit contains 4 x Smokescreen Safety Clips, 4 x Tail Rubbers, and 4 x Snag Free QC Swivels.
Is this product suitable for saltwater fishing?
While the camouflage is effective, the components should be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water after saltwater use to prevent corrosion and maintain functionality.
How do I ensure the lead ejects safely?
Ensure the lead is attached directly to the clip's loop and that no debris is obstructing the swivel or clip mechanism. The weight of the lead should also be appropriate for the clip's design.
Troubleshooting
Lead not releasing from the clip
Check that the lead weight is not too heavy for the clip or the conditions. Ensure the swivel is seated correctly and not obstructed. Clean the clip mechanism for any debris.
Swivel not securely held by the peg
Verify that you are using the provided Snag Free QC Swivels. Ensure the swivel is fully seated and the peg is engaging properly. Check the peg for damage.
Clip feels stiff or difficult to attach
Rinse the clip in clean water to remove any silt or salt. Ensure the mainline or leader is not too thick for the clip's internal channel. Inspect the clip for any manufacturing defects.
Components easily get lost
Use a small, compartmentalized tackle box or rig wallet to store the clips, tail rubbers, and swivels when not in use. Always check your rig components after packing away.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effective camouflage for discreet angling.
- Enhanced safety with lead release mechanism.
- Compact size suitable for feeder fishing.
- Prevents line snagging with specialized swivels.
- Easy and quick rig assembly.
Cons
- Thinner arm may not be compatible with all lead types.
- Primarily designed for feeder setups.
- Small components could be lost if handled carelessly.
- Camouflage pattern might be less relevant in certain very clear or open water conditions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Slide a tail rubber onto your mainline or leader.
- Thread the Smokescreen Safety Clip onto the mainline. Ensure the clip is oriented correctly.
- Attach your lead to the loop on the safety clip. For the safest setup, the lead should be able to eject freely.
- Secure the swivel of your hooklink into the clip.
- Slide the tail rubber over the clip and swivel to secure the lead and hooklink position. The small peg on the clip should engage with the QC swivel.
Compatibility:
- This lead clip is optimized for use with Korum feeders and leads, as well as other similar-sized terminal tackle.
- The thinner arm is best suited for smaller bore swivels commonly found on QC systems and feeder attachments.
- Ensure your lead weight is not so heavy that it excessively impedes the lead release mechanism.
Care:
- Rinse the components with fresh water after each session, especially if used in saltwater or silty conditions, to prevent build-up.
- Store the kit in a dry place, ideally in a tackle box, to avoid damage or loss of small parts.
- Periodically check the integrity of the clips and tail rubbers for any signs of wear or cracking.
