Incase someone is too embarresed to ask

Fitting an Impact Shield

Note:

For illustration purposes I have used Sufix Red Ice, so it shows up on the photos, but in the real world, I use exactly the same technique with 80 lb Shock Leader and no problems.



Step 1 – The components



1 x Impact Shield
1 Length of Tubing
Shock Leader
Crimp (optional)
Bead (optional)

Step 2 - (Optional) , feed on crimp and bead



Step 3 – Feed on Impact Shield




Make sure the impact sheild is facing away from the lead.

Step 4 – Measure our the tubing and cut




Step 5 – Feed Rubber Tubing onto line



Step 6 – Push tubing onto Impact Sheild



Note: If you find it very hard getting the rubber to slide onto the plastic, roll it about between findger and thumb to warm it up




Step 7 – (Only if crimp and bead used)

Push the whole assembly up the line to required position, and crimp so the bead is just level with the top of the impact shield

sometimes i put a bead between the shield and the led clip so it tend to look neater and slips less.
