sakuma rig body thumbs down

took out some rigs there made with sakuma rigbody and found they wont clip up. it's as if the rigbody has grown! will not be using it again it's happened a friend too. rigs where stored in plastic and unused. no problems with the sakuma shockleader or other rigbodies. shame on you sakuma anyone else had this happen?

me, found it goes stretch armstrong during a cast,, unusualble the next cast as i dont like adjustable crimps

seen that stuff but even by seeing it you can see it stretches , you should only use rig body material that you use for leader everyone knows that

yeah. I noticed this the first time i used it. Its possible to stretch it using your hands... its a diaster using it for pulley rigs as well

i am just glad i didnt tie all my rigs with it. i dont mind a bit of stretch due to casting but not growing like a tapeworm inside my rigwallet

What rig body would you recommend for clip-downs, Mark?

i know its expensive but i use flourocarbon for my rig bodies aswell. stren seems to be the best i found so far

suffix superior has to be my favourite rig body for clip downs at the minute, zero stretch

What rig body would you recommend for clip-downs, Mark?

That's a good question? And Mark is it just the rig body or do you find it happening with their shock leader? The reason I ask is because I use the shockleader for my traces and seen that you use it to when rooting in your tackle box in Ennereilly at the ECR comp

i use the mustad ayaka rig body, and my rigs are surviving my casting very well to be honest,
i wont use anything else to be honest

to be honest i use the sakuma shockleader mostly for rigs and never had it grow of their own accord like the rig body. it's quite limp and sits nicely in a polygrip bag. it has a lot of stretch but i seem to get away with it. the powerflex and suffix have little stretch but are quite wirey. i'd go with powerflex first. reckon it is a personal thing

i always used sakuma shock leader for rigs and never ever had any probs with over stretching or anything , no complaints i wouldnt change it i hav to say

you will see how stretchy it is on monday with a ray pulling back

Hehe i bloody hope so

Best rig body material I have ever used was penn tuff stuff.

Typical that you cant get it in clear anymore.

Very interesting thread. I've had serious problems with snoods unclipping mid flight and have tried various ways of building my rigs. I've nearly always used Sakuma. Looks like I'm off to find something else. I'll save the Sakuma for the shock leader. Thanks for the tips lads.

Kev

for my rough ground rigs i have used penn co polomer backing(boat) line in 80lb, seems to do the job fine.
most of my beach rigs have been penn tuff stuff and berkley trilene big game. seaguar flurocarbon in 55lb as well.
