pulley Rig Tangles?

#1 Post by validoc »

hi, just wondering if anyone experiences constant tanging of pulley rigs on the retrieve, almost every time the snood is wrapped around the weighted section.

is there any way of preventing this? Im assuming rig tubing should sort this out but what length of tubing and on which section would it work best?

no it wont :lol: the design of the rig naturally spins a bit on the retreave more so after your bait has been mangled and isnt streamline ,i take it you use a light snood?go 30 lb snood and it wont tangle as much ,larger swivels will help too i use quite big barrel swivels and 10 mil beads ,i,ve tried 15 lb amnesia and its a disaster on long pully rigs 20 lb is ok on short ones ,still a cracking rig 8)

Hi I find that pulley beads work very well & the snood should be 30lb. Don't use any link clips as the snood gets tangled in them.

make sure it's not too long of a trace as long ones tend to get tangled
