Heya folks trying to get together a few rigs everything has to be 15lb or under.I never gave it to much though shore fishing crimping 40lb rig body,s but this seems like a art in itself!
is there any particular line which one would reccomend 15lb for the rig body,i can forsee a few broken traces if i dont get this right cheers.also with putting on the crimps is there a correct way to do this that would cause as little damage to the line as possible!
cheers

Re: 15lb Line Rig advice!
I use Silicon Tubing or Clear Powergum for light line rigs instead of crimps. You can stick 3 or more on it to allow for a sturdier hold if needed. The beauty is the versatility because you can adjust the length of the rig body to suit changing conditions during fishing.
2 Way Clear Beads instead of swivels for your snoods make your rigs even lighter.

Hi ferg,
I've become a big fan of amnesia for both the rig body and snoods . Easy to knot in the higher breaking strains and kinks just pull out and the lighter strain is less prone to tangles as its stiffer than a similar strain mono.

because if it is, only your mainline needs to be 15lb your rigs can be whatever you like.
UP THE DEISE!!!!!!!
