Few guys have been messaging asking what materials we have been using to make the rigger lanyards. Here's a link to amazon for the line
Starting from right to left on pics:
Pic 1 - shows the loop created by using a crimp - this is where I join the braid to the lanyard - loop creates an auto stop
Pic 2 - shows cannon ball attachment, and up 6 inches from that is a crimp with swivel attached on the lanyard to act as a connection point for the Scotty clip
Pic 3 - shows cannon ball to loop stop point - ball will stop just below waterline to prevent swinging into boat hull in rough seas - note the scotty clip length set to allow bringing clip to side of boat to hook up fishing line to rigger
Pic 4 - shows using a quick release swivel to be able to quickly change out Scotty Clips that become too weak to hold the line (happens a lot - seems the new clips aren't as strong as the old ones).
Hope this is useful for those considering switching from tuna cord to mono.
