A helicopter rig is a carp fishing setup where the hook length is connected above a running lead via a special sliding component. The tungsten bead in this kit helps weight and stabilize that connection point, allowing the rig to rotate freely during the retrieve and reduce tangles.
Yes. These components are designed for Fox tubing but work with other tubing of similar diameter. Check your tubing dimensions before purchase to ensure compatibility — the sleeve must fit snugly but thread on smoothly.
The slotted design is a safety feature. If your main line breaks during casting or retrieval, the bead slides off cleanly rather than staying trapped on the broken line. This reduces the risk of losing the entire rig in the water.
The molded rubber sleeve has two different height bumps inside it. Depending on how you position the bead against these bumps, you get a tighter or looser grip on the tungsten bead. Tighter tension keeps the bead more stationary on the rig, while looser tension allows slightly more movement.
Strongly recommended. The threader makes sliding the sleeve onto tubing quick and precise, preventing damage to the sleeve or tubing. You can attempt installation without one, but you risk misaligning or tearing the rubber material.

This kit provides the precision components needed to set up reliable helicopter rigs (heli-rigs) with customizable tension settings. The tungsten bead adds weight and stability to your setup, while the special rubber sleeve offers two different fixation heights to find your ideal tension.
The molded rubber sleeve features two distinct bump profiles, letting you choose between tighter and looser retention of the tungsten bead. This means you can adapt your rig tension to match different water depths, substrate types, or seasonal conditions. More experienced anglers will appreciate the ability to fine-tune this critical component without swapping gear.
The bead is slotted rather than drilled, which means it releases cleanly if your main line breaks. This improves safety during the retrieve and prevents you from losing the entire rig assembly. The design reflects Fox's focus on practical, field-tested solutions rather than theoretical perfection.
The sleeve is designed to slide onto Fox tubing using a Fox Tubing Threader — a simple, repeatable process that takes seconds. It also works with other similarly-sized diameter tubing, giving you flexibility across different rig styles. Whether you prefer helicopter rigs, inline systems, or other running-rig setups, these components integrate smoothly.
