The Mini Heli-Safe is a scaled down, compact version of the original and retains all of the features that helped to make it such a huge success plus a few more.
It still works in exactly the same way, which was revolutionary when the Heli-Safe first hit the market. We were able to arm anglers with a way to fish any helicopter style presentation, but with the ability to drop the lead as soon as a fish was hooked. This was a massive advantage in weedy or snaggy situations, or when using set-ups such as chod rigs.
The Heli-Safe also allowed anglers to fish in this way quickly and effectively, simply by attaching a lead to the system, and the product did the rest, releasing the lead as soon as your hook link swivel pulled against the top of the bead. Technology has moved on since then, and we have managed to make the system much smaller, which not only makes it less obtrusive on the lake bed but also reduces drag through the air and will improve your distance when fishing at extreme range as well as making it less likely to get caught in weed or snags during the fight, once the lead has been jettisoned.
Aside from being more compact, the biggest difference to the original is that it now has three different ways that it can be set it comes fitted with the normal tensioning spring that you will be familiar with from the original and which allows the lead to be dropped as soon as there is any pressure on the top of the Heli-Safe but is also now supplied with a red spring which requires significantly more pressure to be applied before it ejects the lead, and is perfect in situations where you only need to get rid of the lead on the odd occasion and the lake is fairly clear of weed and snags it also still comes with a collar, like the original, that prevents the lead from being ejected at all.
The Mini Heli-Safe comes supplied with a size 11 half barrel swivel and can either be fished naked or with leadcore. Despite its smaller size, it is still incredibly strong and can withstand the force of using any of the leads in our range, even when casting extreme distances.
NOTE Mini Heli-Safe is not compatible with Dark Matter leaders or the Heli-Safe Tubing Kit.
