I used 35 lbs. scale reading for my 1106 series with 15 lb. weights and it was great, but the 2106 Scotty's with 18 lb. weights needed a bit more tension though. Good point on the feed out when snagging bottom. Scotty recommends 35-40.^^^^^^^
What he said. Take it apart, clean pads, set your tensioner to…..30lbs I think. Use a fish scale to get a static weight that your rigger should to. This allows your rigger to feed cable out should you snag a ball.
Was it broken?Where would be the best place to get a new spring? I live in Vancouver.
I see the problem. You don’t have any brake pads!!I found the problem it wasn’t the spring. It was the handle catching on the housing. Looks like the handle had a ridge on it from when it was made. It was jamming up and not coming back. I filed it down and it’s working great now.
