anybody have a problem with the line not releasing from the clip when a fish hits?
They come with a eyelet in the back, I screw my anchor thru that !
Are you rigging those with any type of rod or just soft tip type deadstick rods ?
Just picked up a few riggers to test out this year. Looks like a great tool to add to the to the arsenal!! I plan on running them with spinning rod combos. 38 in. med/hvy rods. I will set the drag to the line weight and leave the bail open when setting...
It doesn't matter what rod you use. I was useing my 24" medium action St. Croix Legend. The ice rigger is far less of a PITA to use than the "Slammer" I have.Mine releases the line well. The collar that retains the plastic shaft is something that needs upgrading IMO. It can move back and forth a little and the piece of plastic thats supposed to keep it in place doesn't cut the mustard.
