Rubber Bands


Recommended Posts

Don I'm not sure that you want a 5 lb breaking strength for most of the usual setups  something about 3 -3 1/2 lbs is usually about right. Otherwise you can carry around small fish without realizing it. When I use rubber bands I use the very small ones that girls use on their hair that can be found in most department stores such as Joann Fabrics, Walmart, Big Lots and possibly even someplace like Dollar Tree. They usually have them in fluorescent colors as well as black and I mainly use the fluporescent ones as they are easy to see etc. You just half hitch loop one end on your line and place the other end in the release arm. With that said if the release tension is set right on the Blacks release the need for rubber bands is avioded. To check the release pressure get one of those inexpensive scales used for weighing luggage at Walmart etc.(less than $10)
