rig line

[Spinner64]

Ignore the loop Chris, i put the mainline through from the front as i prefer the way the hook sits.

had a look at the link, doesn't the twists unravel if the tension is released ?

Never really had a problem with it Chris i use it on various strengths of mono up to 150lb for conger traces. It's also very easy to undo if the snood gets damaged and needs replacing.

Depends on lots of things Chris , what rig your using , the tidal conditions , what your fishing for , its not set in stone , majority of the time local knowledge dictates the type and length of rigs used . Probably the pennel design and length we use on the rough here wouldn`t be ideal in other parts of the country ,on different ground .

Experimentation ,and local experiance will get you to the ideal rig length.

hi Chris

Mikes right i use that memorex...brilliant stuff.

I use 60lb and it is quite stiff but you won't get tangles with it. i use it for all my ray, smooth hound and congering using pulley rigs or up and overs with 3/0 or 4/0 pennels.

i note your tying 2/0's to it which, in that case i'm sure your targeting something without the teeth or rubbing plates that make mincemeet of hook lengths...if that is the case i'd drop down to 40lb amnesia...again a stiffish hooklength which you won't get tangles with.

i personally don't like stretchy leader/hooklength as it causes no end of problems with birdies for me...must be my dodgy casting style but ask mike i had a couple of sessions with casting rage when i swapped to that sakuma carp (typo)......

if you don't get on with the memorex....you know where to send it!!!
