Here is a few words from Gary the Designer

Outcast leads & bait clips are the result of four years development and a
significant financial investment. The leads and clips have been developed purely for fishing and not the casting court.



The unique shape of the lead has been dictated by wind tunnel analysis and testing, the final shape is a balance between casting performance, bait protection and grip, all in one lead...... the unique bait clip allows the caster to place the rig on the ground without the risk of the hook falling off the bait clip, suiting in particular casters who use "off the ground" or "innertia" styles of casting.



The tension that is applied to the rig at the beginning of the cast releases the hook from the spring and onto the bait clip that is directly above it.
Originally developed for use with pulley rigs the system works equally well with paternosters, up & over rigs etc.



Outcast leads will be available in the following configurations.

Grip lead with outcast clip
Grip lead without clip
Plain lead with outcast clip
Plain lead without clip.

Cheers.

Gaz.

Some pics for you...

This is the outcast grip lead and clip, the leads look a lot smaller than a normal six ounce weight, the design gives protection to your bait during the cast and impact with the water. The top of the lead is rounded off and not like a flat back weight. Made from marine grade steel the clip won't rust away.



How to use...

In the picture below, on the left side of the clip is a small piece of steel that's under tension, you simply push this in like a button and it will grip your hook on the right hand side of the clip just as in the picture. You are now free to lay your terminal tackle on the ground, shake it about a bit and the hook will stay clipped to the bait holder.



On casting the hook will jump from it's before cast spring holder at the bottom of the clip immediately into the hook holder above in cast then releasing on impact with the water.

The hook position during flight immediately after the cast begins below.

You can use rotten bottoms on the splash downs, most of mine are.

Yer, all you need is a rotten bottom link, on any sinker. Still wouldn't be using leads like that in rough ground like, not at £2 a pop
