Gemini Genie rig bits and bobs.

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!

Gemini Genie rig bits and bobs.

#1 Post by aaronjunited »

Hi guys, just wondering has anyone used this nice little peice of kit, i'm debating on buying.
http://www.gemini-tackle.co.uk/rigjig.php

How do you get the best out of it really.

And also, what do we use the Silicone Rig Tubing for these days, never really seen a purpose of these.
Are the Gemini Genie® Crimps good or bad?

Any thoughts or experiences will be appeciated.

Cheers Aaron.

Make your own rig jig, easy. I used an Ian Golds 1 metre match rule, attached it to a board and drilled holes to take pins.

Silicon tubing has several uses, push is over a dropper swivel to make it stand off, use it as a stop for bait or in place of crimps on trace swivels.

lol good idea, never thought of that. may i ask what a dropper swivel is? Does it seriously work as a substitute for normal crimps. Couldnt imagine that working.
Cheers for advice dude.

Dropper swivel is the swivel on the trace body that carries the hook snood - http://www.planetseafishing.com/rigs/Th ... ok-Flapper

You normall have to use two or three bits of silicon (thread the line through each bit twice) to hold in place of a crimp. Does mean that it's adjustible though.
