| Re: pulley rigs Never had it happen to me but have heard of the 60lb line (rig body) where it folds over the swivel at an acute angle creates a weak spot and can snap across the thin wire of the swivel on casting - I use a fox pulley bead which prevents that problem by spreading the strain of the cast over a much wider area ... __________________ SUPPORT THE RNLI - click : www.rnli.org.uk ... every little helps !

| Re: pulley rigs Like this - the one on the left - ordinary swivel will be under a lot of strain and after repeated use will give - the one on the right is the Fox swivel - spreads the load !   __________________ SUPPORT THE RNLI - click : www.rnli.org.uk ... every little helps !
