Gerry’s Rotten Bottom Clips (25 Per Packet)
Essential Lead Release System for Rough Ground Fishing
Gerry’s Rotten Bottom Clips are an essential piece of specialized terminal tackle designed to allow anglers to fish effectively over the snaggiest, roughest ground without fear of losing their entire rig. These clips are the core component of a rotten bottom rig, a system that is engineered to detach the sinker when it becomes snagged, saving the rest of your rig and your catch.
The system relies on attaching the sinker to the clip with a section of weak link monofilament. When the lead snags, applying tension to the line breaks the weak link, allowing the angler to reel in the entire rig (including the fish, if hooked) while ditching only the snagged lead.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Snagging Solution: Specifically designed for use over rough ground, kelp, and rock formations where standard leads would inevitably become irretrievably snagged.
- Effective Lead Ditching: Allows you to ditch the snagged lead by applying tension, ensuring your main rig, snoods, and any hooked fish are retrieved safely.
- Easy to Rig: The system is simple: tie some weak link mono to the clip and the lead.
- Casting Security: Features a D loop on the clip for secure attachment when casting, ensuring the rig is properly loaded and streamlined.
- Saves Tackle: By only losing the lead and not the entire rig, these clips save time and money, making rough ground fishing practical.
- Bulk Supply: Supplied in a packet of 25 clips, providing ample stock for multiple rig builds and inevitable lead losses over rough terrain.
