cascade rig help

#1 Post by roger de dodger »

looking for lads cascade rig tricks,i got a bag of 100 tronix cascade swivels and have made two rigs so far and had no problems on one i used an srt spring on the top snood on the other i just left the crimps adjustable to adjust the rig as it stretched (i was using those black plastic breakaway clips for years)any help
thanks

Hey Roger I just fix mine down with an impact lead never bother with SRT springs. I also never use a clip down rig for more than one session I always rebuild them with new hooks. What are you using for snoods maybe its too stretchy?

using amnesia snoods but long ones ,with the srt spring i can lay the lead on the sand gently without the rig un clipping for an off the ground cast had no probs with the one with out srt so maybe i,ll drop it :wink: using an imp for the release without any problems .when i say the crimps are adjustable i leave them so they need a lot of effort to move them but it gives you the option if you need it to do a little tweek on the beach :wink:

have you ever tried the breakaway adjustable crimps? very good. sakuma do them also but didnt like them, the rubber insert kept coming out and they cost about 5 times as much as the breakaway ones.

On the 3 Hook Cascade rig I tend to use an SRT on the Top, Never bother with one on the second snood but aways leave a bit of room for a bit of give between the 2 crimps just so it clips in right... never have any bother...
