What Rig body for clipped down rigs?

#1 Post by JOHN LYNCH »

Just starting to make a few trace for the first time in a few years and would like to know what peoples prefrences for rig body on clipped down rigs are?

I like the Sakuma rig body for flappers, nice and supple with plenty of stretch but not sure it has the best characteristics for clipped down rigs. I have some Penn International premium shockleader which seems a lot stiffer with much less stretch than the Sakuma rig body ..... possible more suitable for clipped down rigs. Any other brands I should look at?

Your thoughts and opinions greatly appreciated.

Seems hard to get even online, 50lb is all I can find and that is with them having to order it in.
