Look back on the classified for Fixed Cheater Snaps sold by Troubles (Greg). These are easy to use and I have been very successful using them about 10-15 feet above my main line. Greg is great to deal with and has quality product. Come in Salmon size and Brown Trout size at a reasonable price. No need for a rubber band
Contact Greg, screen name "troubles" on the LOU site. You can order his fixed cheater locks for half the price. It's all I use and you won't be sorry. Just search "fixed cheater in the search bar. Sammygee
Quick cure..... Buy a good bottle of wine, not a box wine and save the cork. cut a slit down the middle, and place it on your rigger wire. It will stop the singing. You can also enjoy the wine.....Let us know how it works. Tight Lines !!!!!!!
Was in Sodus last weekend. There was a bass tournament Saturday morning and there was not one trailer in the public launch parking lot near Margarita Rd. All the boats launched from the Sodus Marina.
I live on a lake in NE Pa and had the perfect fishing boat, equipped just right, with two riggers and all the rod holders needed . Then my bride and daughter turned up their noses at my "FISHING" boat and wanted a plush skiing, tubing,zoom around the lake boat. I sold my boat and bought an 18 ft Monterrey. I have the luxury of having one of my closest friends being a machinist and he fabricated around 15" pedestals that we secured to the swim platform and mounted the riggers outside of the confines of the boat. Runabouts like mine have two back corner seats and this gave quick access to the riggers. I know that Cannon offers these pedestals at reasonable prices. I was able to mount flush mount Cannon rod holders on the gunnel and now I have a boat that satisfies everyone. My fishing equipment is not taking up any cruising space in the boat, and everyone is happy as long as I clean up the blood and guts following a fishing trip. Good Luck
