The tip in the link below is where I mentioned the correct way to use a spro swivel.
Trolling Weight Bridle Setup (Version 1)
Its in bold just under the parts required section.
Glad I could help![]()
However, I learned it from Captain Brian months ago...so once again I don't take credit for it. I was just passing it along to everyone else.
We all learn something new every day.
So the Box man isn't a machine he is in fact human!!!![]()
Thanks, Box (and Beast and O-Sea-D). That is interesting. First I had heard of this.
It is the attention to small details that makes the BIG difference. I wonder how many of the fish lost to Spro's hanging up over the years is due to them being backwards???????
Thanks Again
O-SEA-D's post is here;
Trolling Weight Bridle Setup (Version 1)
So the big question - Have you ever lost a fish because the SPRO failed?
TO MY RECALLECTION.....DO YOU LIKE THAT WORD?I HAVE NEVER HAD AN INLINE SPRO FAIL ME........
HOWEVER....MAYBE I HAVE BEEN PURE LUCKY![]()
I HAVE HAD GUYS TELL ME THAT THEY HAD FAILURES WITH THE INLINE AND I JUST SCRATCH MY HEAD CONFUSED AND HAVING NO ANSWER
I ALSO WANT TO HIGHLITE ONE MORE THOUGHT HERE: ON THE SNIPER ABYSS OLD SALTY WEAPONRY......I CHANGE MY BRIDLE OUT EVERY TRIP AND I AM PREPARED TO CHANGE IT OUT DURING A TRIP IF NECESSARY....
I ALSO AM PREPARED TO CHANGE OUT THE 130FT LEADER ...ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE CAUGHT A FEW SLOBS THAT DAY.....REMEMBER WITH ALL THAT DRAG ON THE TIAGRA, THE LEADER WILL STRETCH ON IMPACT AND IT GETS THIN MIGHTY QUICK
I WANT TO THANK JOHN AND THE BEAST ONCE AGAIN FOR ROCKIN ON THIS ONE!
I WILL REUSE A SPRO INLINE 2-3 DAYS IN A ROW BUT ONCE THE SPRO SITS OUT ANY ACTION.....I CONSIDER IT'S SHELF LIFE TO BE DIMINISHED
I had one fail this summer. You may have answered the mystery...
