Product Details and Uses

Nytro Stopitz Helicopter Kit

The Nytro Stopitz Helicopter Kit is the ultimate shortcut to one of the most effective and tangle-free feeder rigs in modern angling. Let’s be honest: fumbling with tiny beads and swivels on the bank—especially when your hands are cold or the light is fading—is a headache nobody needs. This kit provides a “ready-to-slide” solution that puts a professional-grade helicopter setup on your mainline in seconds.

Built around the high-performance Connex quick-change swivel, this kit allows your hooklength to rotate 360° around the line, virtually eliminating tangles during the cast. With two Stopitz rubber stoppers on either side of the swivel, you have a rock-solid yet adjustable setup that can be moved up or down the line to suit the depth and feeding habits of the fish.

Key Features & Benefits

Instant Setup: The components come pre-threaded on a wire loop. Just pass your mainline through the loop and slide the stoppers and swivel onto your line—no complicated threading required.
Total Adjustability: Because the Stopitz stoppers are made of high-grip rubber, you can slide the entire rig up the line to fish “off the deck” or keep it close to the feeder for a traditional presentation.
Anti-Tangle Rotation: The helicopter design allows the hooklink to spin freely, which is essential for high-velocity distance casting where standard rigs often wrap around the feeder.
Connex Quick-Change Swivel: Swap your hooklengths in a heartbeat. The integrated quick-change system means you spend more time with a baited hook in the water and less time tying knots.
High-Grip Security: The Stopitz stoppers are designed to stay put during the cast but remain “fish-safe” by sliding under extreme pressure.

Where to Use the Nytro Stopitz Helicopter Kit

Fishing over Silt: The helicopter rig is king in the mud. By sliding the Stopitz stoppers 6–12 inches up the line, your feeder can plug into the silt while your hookbait settles gently on the surface.
Long Range Casting: If you are pushing for distance with bullet or window feeders, the helicopter rig is the most aerodynamic and tangle-resistant setup you can use.
Searching the Water Column: On days when the fish are sitting high, slide the rig further away from the feeder to catch fish “on the drop” or hovering above the bottom.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“The beauty of the Stopitz kit is the grip, but you’ve got to treat your line with respect! When you’re sliding these stoppers from the wire loop onto your mainline, always moisten the line first with a bit of water or saliva. This prevents friction heat from weakening your mono. If you’re fishing for big carp and want a ‘bolt’ effect, push the two top stoppers tight together. If you want a more natural, ‘free-running’ feel for skimmers, gap them out slightly so the swivel has a few inches of play!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this kit fish-safe?

A: Yes. While the Stopitz stoppers have excellent grip, they are designed to slide off the end of the mainline in the event of a breakage (provided you aren’t using a shock leader knot that is too large to pass through). This ensures the fish isn’t left towing a feeder.

Q: Can I use this with braided mainline?

A: Absolutely. The rubber Stopitz stoppers grip exceptionally well on braid, which can sometimes be “slick” for traditional beads.

Q: How many setups do I get in a pack?

A: Each pack contains five complete sets, making it great value for money and ensuring you have plenty of spares in your seatbox.

Q: Do I need a special tool to transfer them?

A: No tools required! They come on a wire loop. You simply thread your mainline through the end of the wire loop, fold it back, and slide the stoppers and swivel straight onto your line. It couldn’t be easier.
