I'd like to build up a bunch of dropper rigs.  Instead of using split rings to attach the rig to the spoon and/or the hook to the rig, I'd like to use clips.  I've seen small clips on Hali droppers.  Any one know where to find these little clips?

Thanks,

If you get these in the SMALL size, they are pretty tiny.  I have used them to change up ice jigs and droppers in the past.  I wonder if you could figure out a way to attach them to the chain rig and then clip them to the spoon?

Northland has a pretied dropper set up,. looks to be mono instead of chain. I belive hali sells extra chain rigs also.

Northlands mono dropper setup is crappy IMO with those clips on it. Those clips that insearchofperch posted up will work good but I'd use a small pliers to unclip them as they can be a little tough to remove without messing them up.

I disagree, I use both northlands single hook and trebel hook droppers and really like them. I always have extras on hand. I lile the shorter version over the longer one.

do they break off, yeah on occassion, but for me they get the job done and are easy to clip off and on while on the ice

If your using them for perch, I dont like a mono dropper.  In my opinion, its the flash and also the ultra multi direction that the chain just swings back and forth that attracts the perch.  Each time you move it, the chain swings and bends different directions.  Mono just tends to swing out and thats it.

Northland uses sleeves instead of knots and they stick out like a sore thumb. There junk and I cut mine up for parts. Buy the clips, hooks and mono and tie your own, your much better off.

I've never seen the northland rigs up close, I only noticed them during my online shopping. I to would personally make my own that way I know what I have, but instead of mono I'd use flourocarbon. That way if I broke off I could only blame myself. I also tie all my worm harnesses for walleye trolling. I have much more confidence in my workmanship than Tan Wangs' and I can customize my setups as conditions call for.
