Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Anglers who want a quick, reliable Heli setup. The leaders arrive assembled, so you can get a rig clipped on and fishing without tying every component from scratch.
- Carp anglers who like changing leads or fishing different spots. The Heli-Clip keeps lead changes quick and the 75 cm leader gives a useful all-round arrangement.
Maybe skip if
- Tinkerers who build every leader from individual components. A ready-made rig won’t offer the same freedom to choose every bead, swivel, sleeve and leader length.
- Anglers needing a very specific leader length. The supplied leader is 75 cm, so you’ll want a different option if your presentation relies on a bespoke length.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Edges Submerge Heli-Clip Rigs
There’s a lot to be said for having a few ready-made rigs tucked away when the rods are off and bite-time is doing its thing. The Fox Edges Submerge Heli-Clip Rigs are made for exactly that sort of fishing. They take a commonly used Heli arrangement and supply it ready to connect, so you’re not sat there tying leaders while the fish are on the munch.
Each rig is built around a 75 cm Submerge leader. That gives you a decent all-round length for casting, fishing over a range of lakebeds and keeping the lead system away from the hooklink. It’s not a tiny little leader, nor is it a massive snake of material. For general carp work, it’s a sensible middle ground.
The Submerge material is lead-free, which will appeal if you want a neat alternative to traditional leadcore. It’s available in 30 lb and 40 lb breaking strains, giving you a choice between a lighter all-round option and a burlier version for weedier, snaggy or more demanding situations. As always, match the leader to the venue and the rest of your tackle.
At the business end, the system uses Fox Leader Beads and Heli Swivels, along with Fox’s patented Heli-Clip. The idea is nice and straightforward: the lead can sit independently of the hooklink, while the Heli-Clip makes swapping leads much less of a faff. Handy when you need to alter casting distance, change lead styles or respond to a soft bottom.
That Heli arrangement is one of the most versatile carp setups around. Fish it with a bottom bait, wafter or pop-up, depending on the spot and what the lake’s doing. Over choddy or slightly softer ground, having the hooklink able to move around the leader can help the hookbait settle without the lead dragging the whole presentation into a mess.
You also get three Micro Anti Tangle Sleeves in the pack. They’re small, but they do a useful job. Used correctly, they help keep the hooklink kicked away from the leader and reduce the chance of a horrible tangle on the cast. Nobody wants to clip up, bosh one out and find a little ball of nonsense on the end.
The spliced loop at the top of each leader keeps the connection simple. Attach the leader to your main line using a connection you’re confident in, then give everything a proper once-over before fishing. Check the loop, the clip and the leader for any damage, especially if you’ve been chucking into rough margins or dragging through weed.
Colour choice is pretty decent too. Edges Naturals gives you a more muted, subtle look, while Edges Camo is there when you want the leader to blend into the bottom. Neither choice magically catches fish, of course, but matching your end tackle to the lakebed can help you keep things looking tidy.
There are four versions across the range: Naturals in 30 lb or 40 lb, and Camo in 30 lb or 40 lb. The model codes are CRT001 for Naturals 30 lb, CRT002 for Naturals 40 lb, CRT006 for Camo 30 lb and CRT007 for Camo 40 lb. That’s useful if you’re ordering a specific version rather than grabbing whatever’s nearest on the shelf.
The big attraction is convenience. Three complete rigs per pack gives you spares for a session, and they’re easy to keep in a rig wallet or tackle box. They won’t suit the angler who loves building every leader from scratch, but if you want a consistent, tidy Heli setup without the usual faff, they’re a proper handy bit of kit.

Our take
The angle
This is all about removing the faff. You get a complete Heli-Clip leader ready to connect to your main line, plus three Micro Anti Tangle Sleeves. That means less time tying and more time getting a bait over the spot.
The Heli arrangement is a strong choice when you want the lead to sit independently of the hooklink. It’s especially useful over softer or uneven lakebeds, where a Heli rig can help the hookbait settle nicely while keeping the lead system compact and tidy.
Closer look
A ready-made Heli system with the fiddly bits sorted
The main item is a 75 cm lead-free Submerge leader, finished with Fox Leader Beads, Heli Swivels and the patented Fox Heli-Clip. A spliced loop is supplied for connecting the leader to your main line, while three Micro Anti Tangle Sleeves are included to help keep your hooklink kicked clear on the cast.
This is a compact, practical arrangement rather than a specialist one-trick pony. Pair it with the hooklink and hookbait that suit the spot. A wafter or pop-up gives you plenty of options, while a bottom bait can work nicely when the lakebed is clean and the fish are feeding confidently.
Worth knowing. The pack contains three complete rigs, but you still need to add your own hooklink, hook and lead. Think of these as ready-made leaders rather than complete end rigs from main line to hook.
Who it suits
Ideal for tidy, adaptable carp fishing
These are a strong fit for anglers who want to spend less time tying and more time fishing. They’re especially useful when you’re moving between swims, fishing short sessions or keeping a couple of spare leaders ready for a sudden crack-off or damaged setup.
The 30 lb versions make sense for general carp work where the weed and snags aren’t too severe. Step up to 40 lb when the venue is rougher or you simply want more margin for error. Keep your choice sensible, though: the strongest leader in the box isn’t automatically the best one for every lake.
If you’re a proper rig tinkerer, you may find the fixed 75 cm length and supplied component layout a bit limiting. For everyone else, the consistency is a bonus. Same basic presentation, same connection, less chance of tying one rig beautifully and the next one a bit wonky after midnight.
FAQs in full
The stuff you’ll want to know before clipping one on
Yes, the Heli format is commonly chosen for varied lakebeds because the lead and hooklink can work independently. You’ll still need to check how the rig settles and choose a suitable hooklink for the bottom. Don’t just launch it out blind and hope for the best.
Go Naturals or Camo based on what best matches the bottom and your preference. Naturals is the straightforward muted option, while Camo is useful when you want the leader to blend into a darker or more varied lakebed.
They’re primarily aimed at carp fishing, but the Heli principle can work wherever you need a lead system that keeps the hooklink separate and offers quick lead changes. Match the breaking strain and the whole setup to the fish, venue and rules.
