free siders

[jilou1ow]

Does anyone know how far above the rigger ball, a free sider is? Probably depends on lure size, speed, etc. Say you have a rigger at 55' and 70'. Thanks!

If you want to know how far down your cheaters are, fix them in place with a rubberband. It all depends on speed, depth of your ball, and tension on the rod.

Rule of thumb. The slider will only go down as far as the belly in your line. Assuming the line is tight the slider will be half way down your setting ( rigger is down 50', slider will be about 25"). Like Gambler said if you want it 10, 15 or 20' above you spoon you will need to tie a rubber band around rigger cable then attach the mono and rubber band together with the swival on you cheater at the disatnce you want it above your spoon.

I agree with Gambler and Shade about fixing the band. When the fleas are bad that creates another point of collection however. When they are non existent I'll pin. As far as an actual free slider the blades such as stingers and streaks will run higher than say a NK 28 or Pirate 55- Duane
