what a thread, what a rig! manys a night spent banging them out on the likes of Cushendun beach with a flyer on the shockleader, even clipped it down just to help! lol.
must get a few knocked together for old times sake! and compare results to the loop rig for the craic!
for us the mustad 34042NPBLN were a must in 1/0!
oh.... and black and red amnesia snoods the must have 'incase' it ever tangled up on you!!

as for looking at those dowcra uniparts, think i still have packs of the pink aerobeads kicking around, must hoke out some 'dodgers' and get building some fine rigs! lol

Well, what can i say, i have dug out a few odds and ends and sat down to it!
Photos will follow soon as i figure out how to use this new camera etc, But...... The North Antrim Flying Bomber lives again!!!!
Boy, that was a nostalgic 15minutes! lol, just a pity I had no Gantel, just had to build it on 60b clear rig body, and maybe cheated a bit by using gemini srt springs in it as they wouldnt have been available when i first used it i think... but still had the 3 colours of amnesia!!!

if you turn the top dropper into a pully it works very well and your baits stay in the bait clip aswell
