Fishlander rigger part needed


times two

Recommended Posts

I have a Fishlander rigger that I need a new swivel for on the boom for the end

pulley. I know Big Jon parts work on these riggers, and in fact, got a Big Jon

swivel from Captains Cove when I was at the Oak 2 weeks ago.

Apparently, however, the Fishlander boom and swivel are fractionally bigger than

Big Jon's (which I verified with Big Jon today). Thus the Big Jon swivel does not

freely rotate on the boom. Pulley side is fine.

So, my choice is to find a Fishlander swivel, or modify the Big Jon swivel, by using

a rat tail file. Really would prefer the Fishlander part.

SO, somewhere out there, there must be someone that has parts left.

If anyone knows of any place that might have parts, I'd appreciate getting that

name.

Yeah, that's a possibility. Big Jon said to use a rat-tail file and try to make

the swivel bigger. May end of doing that, but since the original is still ok

for now, I'm still on the hunt for the Fishlander part.

Thanks for the reply, though.
