500, My osprey re rigging theory...... Posted by , Sun Jan-20-02 06:28 PM
heres what i may do to prevent pulling the guts out:
1-replace the treble with a gamakatsu im thinkin 2/0.
2-get some 40 lb flourocarbon and tie a polamar knot to the barrel swivel thing thats above the hook.
3-tie the other end 2-3"es back onto a split ring with the same hook, same knot.
4-get a wire of some kind, a light paperclip perhaps.
5-thread the wire, in this case straightened paperclip, thru the split ring.
6-wrap wire around split ring once.
7-cut paperclip 1-2"es long.
8-insert paperclip ends into osprey on oppisite sides of splitring.
this will happen if a fish catches the back treble: the wire will come un-inserted from the rubber, and wont rip, and if it does, it will be very little.
what are your thoughts on this?? patrick
