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.
