Re: Pulley Dropper Bolt Rig
Posted: 01 Mar 2013, 10:25
Sorry to bring this one up after so long but new to the forum.....
I've just been turned on to the long n low (I prefer the pulley version to the normal) and I have tried to dropper but to be honest, I don't get it.
Can someone tell me, really, whats the difference between using a dropper rig, or even the long and low for that matter, over using a clipped up rig??
It will do the same thing if you're worried about rays etc finding the weight, it puts the snood below the weight and far away from it.
Just a question tis all....
Ps - just to cover more rig possibilities.... How about this- I make ALL my pulley rigs the same way.
At the top, (lead link) tie on an inverted clip instead of a swivel/link;
Also, use a clip link as the sliding link (main line);
You can use this rig as either a pulley or a clipped up running ledger rig...simply clip the lead on the sliding link and the main line to the tied link.
I'll put pics up a bit later in the relevant section.. Cheers, Phil
