Rig bodies

[AndyT46]

Just a quickie, is 60lb a safe strentgh as an all round rig body. I'm after a bulk spool from uk hooks but from what I've read people are using anything from 60+. I'm just unsure if I should go 70 or 80 instead.

I use 60lb Blue marlin. Great stuff, knots up brilliant. I also use a 10lb weak link to the lead (cheaper stuff though).

 

[flattie fanatic]

Varivas Shock/Rig Nylon or Sufix Zippy Shock Leader

I never go below 70lb and upto 100lb for pulley rigs

I just got some 60 lb Blue Marlin after watching Paul on his Sandmans tackle blog. It looks ideal-strong and supple. Made loads of rigs with it the other day.

I use the 70lb blue marlin .. It knots beautifully ..

I have a spool of the sakuma stuff from moonfleet and have to say I can't fault it. I just use 60 or 70lb line which pretty much matches my shock leader strength. Might have a look at a few of the other lines above that you other lads use as a change.....

 

[CHUKKA]

Ultima powerflex, low stretch, very very strong and reliable and doesn’t fray up like some others. Its a bit wiry and hard but soon straightens. Find Sakuma is too stretchy and clipped rigs can come undone.

Okuma ultra max for me. Cheap enough and tough as they come.

I use that suffix zippy in 130lb..
