Gemini link clips are fantastic! They allow you to instantly change rigs or weights without tying knots, which is useful when your hands are freezing! Keeping one permanently attached to my shock leader allows you to set up in a couple of minutes maximum. They fit through the tip rings of all my rods no problem. Genuine Gemini link clips have a wide enough gape to securely clip around the eye of a lead unlike some cheaper copies which can be found.

Breakaway impact shields are a must for fishing at distance. Not only do they hold the hook firmly against the body of the rig during casting and release every time, but they also protect the bait during the cast and, more importantly, during the impact with the water. Breakaway impact shields are not cheap but they are worth every penny.

Gemini SRT springs tension the snood on clipped down rigs, preventing the snood from stretching. If the snood stretches it can make it difficult to clip down on subsequent casts. The Gemini SRT spring is ideal for OTG (Off The Ground) casters as it stops the snood releasing while the rig is on the sand in the casting position.

Veals R.B.C. clips are a cheap and simple rotten bottom system which work. I I always open the loop of the R.B.C. clip out a little more with some pliers just to ensure that the lead does release. Veals

Bait clips are simply bent pieces of wire which are held onto the line with either silicone or neoprene tubing. They are a cheaper than the Breakaway impact shield, and unlike the impact shield they can be used anywhere on the rig body. There are occasions when you can be unlucky and the clip doesn't release. These tend to be few and far between though.

Neoprene tubing is used to attach bait clips to the rig body and pennel hooks to the snood. It is much easily to work with than silicone or PVC tubing.
