Non Stretch Snood Material

Just wondering does anyone use a good non stretch snood material, I find on some lines that once you catch a decent fish the rigs wont clip down anymore because of the stretch.

Just don't want to go through so many rigs really.

been using stren for years now never let me down, and i still catch a few fish

use the smae stuff as denis alby, grand stuff

Hi alby i use Amnesia and Fluorocarbon and i have never had a problem with stretch

when you tie up your rigs are you pulling them tight enough

if you use adjustable rig clips then this wont be a problem

did this happen more than once this year them whiting and flounder can put your rigs under astronomical pressure not to mention those bloody dabs if you shortened your snoods to under 6 foot it might not be as bad

i use memor-x - does the job for me.

ive some spools of that memor x stuff alby you can have for free,, or you can have a wee bit of stren to try,

i dont like the memorex, i find it doesnt knot well, pigs tails everywhere

maxima greenline is the stuff i like alby , amnesia is the worst for stretching

horrible stuff... and i like pigs!

maxima chameleon is good but once it gets a knock or two it parts like cotton. depends what you're using it for. haven't tried stren. keep an eye on the diameter as it's pretty thick for it's breaking strain, just like me...

What about srt springs held in place with a stop knot you can adjust the snood if it streched a bit

Cheers Al, I was trying to keep things as simple as poss, I guess there's no real way around it.

Thought about using braid but that could slice throught the rig body in no time. Ah well!!!

Well i suppose you dont really need the srt springs at all..i actually dont bother using them any more myself, but the stop knots might help
or just try the line Denis and Eric use that seems to be working for them

I have started using power gum stop knots instead of crimps. I find them handy as you can adjust the snoods if the rig gets streatched or you need to change hooks on clipped down rigs. Working very well so far.

Hi,

Instead of powergum stop knots why not just have the crimps adjustable? i.e. don't tighten them fully. I set mine so I can just about move them under pressure - just make sure the edge of the crimp doesn't chaff the rig body when moving it.

I find after the first power cast or two even with amnesia all the stretch is taken out of the snood. I re-adjust my crimps at that stage and the rig fishes perfectly until I scrap it and throw it in the bin. Using crimps this way also makes changing snoods a doddle - does the same as a powergum stop knot will do but less fuss and hassle. If you're concerned about damage to the rig body up it to 75lb.

NB breakaway came out with this adjustable crimp with rubber in the middle but I've never had a problem using bog standard ones as described above so the breakaway ones seem like an expensive waste of money to me

IF its any use to you for my snoods I use Stren and wait for it .. . . . . . . . . P-Line Now thats going to get a few lads thinking and searching on the web!!!
