Won't be Loosing Anymore Scotty Rigger Clips

[casper5280]

I just run this setup off the ball minus the swivel now, and a Scotty Stacking clip up top. Never lose anything now plus don't need a stopper at the ball.

and what are doing if your stacking???

you could make longer ones, I’ve used some 15-20’ tuna cord specifically for sockeye sessions.
Generally I don’t stack, or ill add a stopper bead and stack with regular clips.

Yes, I read through this all and thought the same… it is always the stacked clip that I lose, when I get lazy and don’t add a stop thinking oh sure I’ll remember lol! I need an engineering fix to compensate for my brain!

The pics are great Casper but do yourself a favour and get rid of those plastic Scotty clips (the one to the snubber)…I lost 2 balls this year due to them failing (not breaking but stretching and opening)

It wouldn't matter if the clip failed as it's only used on the ball retriever
if I'm seeing this correctly

He’s got a black plastic clip from gangion to the snubber as well

Those plastic clips will also allow crab trap ropes to get inside the clip preventing you from being able to simply back up and get off the trap line. If you fish around commercial traps its only a matter of time before those clips mess you up.

Mine is a different way. It works very well and no issues.

No messy.

If you're stacking, add a short piece of mono to the clip, tie a coast-lock to the mono and clip that around the cable. That way if you knock the clip off, the mono/coast-lock will keep it attached to the cable (it will just slip down towards the bottom of the cable).

sure enough lost a clip yesterday. Just wondering what you are doing instead of a swivel at the top?

Been using this for the last 4 or 5 year after my "crew" kept trying to suck the clip through the pulley. Works for me.

I don't run the swivel anymore though, just tie all 3 lines together.

i tried this a few years back and sometimes the clip wouldn’t pay out with the cannon. how did you fix that?

Geeze, wish I knew about these a few years ago. Can't count how many I've lost.

I carry replacement pads as I wear my quick release pads out before losing them

Very simple - just clip it to the eye where the rubber snubber connects to the downrigger line. Since I have done that years ago I have never lost a clip.
