At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!
took out some rigs there made with sakuma rigbody and found they wont clip up. it's as if the rigbody has grown! will not be using it again it's happened a friend too. rigs where stored in plastic and unused. no problems with the sakuma shockleader or other rigbodies. shame on you sakuma anyone else had this happen?
me, found it goes stretch armstrong during a cast,, unusualble the next cast as i dont like adjustable crimps

suffix superior has to be my favourite rig body for clip downs at the minute, zero stretch

That's a good question? And Mark is it just the rig body or do you find it happening with their shock leader? The reason I ask is because I use the shockleader for my traces and seen that you use it to when rooting in your tackle box in Ennereilly at the ECR comp

to be honest i use the sakuma shockleader mostly for rigs and never had it grow of their own accord like the rig body. it's quite limp and sits nicely in a polygrip bag. it has a lot of stretch but i seem to get away with it. the powerflex and suffix have little stretch but are quite wirey. i'd go with powerflex first. reckon it is a personal thing
i always used sakuma shock leader for rigs and never ever had any probs with over stretching or anything , no complaints i wouldnt change it i hav to say

Very interesting thread. I've had serious problems with snoods unclipping mid flight and have tried various ways of building my rigs. I've nearly always used Sakuma. Looks like I'm off to find something else. I'll save the Sakuma for the shock leader. Thanks for the tips lads.
for my rough ground rigs i have used penn co polomer backing(boat) line in 80lb, seems to do the job fine. most of my beach rigs have been penn tuff stuff and berkley trilene big game. seaguar flurocarbon in 55lb as well.
