what is the difference between a fixed rig and a safe rig. im more interested in the fixed rig as im going to fish some lakes where they dont allow them.
a safe rig is where if your main line breaks the lead is left on the bottom or can be pulled off very easily if the fish snags the lead.
a fixed rig or death rig as its known around here is a rig where the lead is fixed permently and if the fish snags the lead the fish would be also tethered to the snag
for complete safety for the fish a safe rig is best..(lead clip) i have had the problem of weed jamming an inline lead in the past as Frothey mentioned
