How To Rig Outriggers

Devocean Sportfishing · 01-27-2009, 07:37 PM

I just bought 15' telescoping outriggers for my 23 sailfish. I have rigged outriggers many times before but i want to keep the outriggers in the "nontelescoped" position. i want them double rigged with hal-lock. i need to take in the slack line when we are not using them. i am trying to stay away from the line caddy but i will use it if i have to. Any input would be greatly appreaciated

i would find out how much line you are going to need and how far is stretched out when they are not out and telescoped..

add yourself a nice big snap swivel onto the bottomf of the hal-lock bungee section and you can add small little clips to anywhere in the boat and connect them..

run them to the front of the console of wherever it may be.. up inside a small cuddy hard top or anything!!!

try not to bent it around to much.. dont want to much memory in the mono lino if that is what you are using.. but you can also not worry about the memory to much as it will straighten once the rigger lines are tight and out!!
