Rigged my gun today. The Omer mono and crimps came loose but I found the line was thicker and stiffer than my usual mono. The pic shows the green Omer line and BIG crimp, alongside my usual clear mono and small crimp. Not too clear in the pic but my mono is 160lb test and the Omer one looks a bit bigger maybe 200lb. Don't know why the omer crimp is so big, my crimps have never let me down. Get my stuff from a fishing shop that sells commercial long line gear so it's good quality and strong.
On rigging I found that with the bridge in place I still had to use the cross over method to route the line correctly. This meant there was no need for the bridge piece. When I tried to run the line without crossing over the spear the line slipped back over the rubbers. So the closed muzzle option doesn't look so good if you can't fit the line properly. Doesn't really matter as I was probably going to use it open muzzle (no bridge piece) anyway. Still would have been nice if all the options worked. Pic shows the clear plastic bridge still fitted but the line crossed over.
Looking forward to trying it all out but guess what ... force 6 winds ... again. This has been one shit winter even though it's now officially summer time.
Maybe next week. I'm on holidy
