I bought a made up one from a stall yesterday, never used one before, it has quite a long hook trace bit with two hooks on it, a large one on the end and a smaller one half why down. The trace hook length is about 4/5 ft, is this likely to tangle on casting and are the pulley rigs superior than others?
I usually go for very simple rigs having tried them all in the past including my own inventions but found it all a bit so so and just tie a very simple rig now, loops in the mainline which are cut and hooks tied to the end, no beads, no swivels, no booms just a weight clip on the end. This year I was experimenting with just the hooks on the main line, threaded through twice through the eye, this was good for casting, very streamlined but not so good for putting the lug on and I think I missed more bites than usual. The loop in the lines was marginally better but a bit less streamlined. Is the pulley rig any good?
