The lindy rig worked well although I should have used a heavier lindy banana weight (that's what I call them). Maybe even a 1/2 oz or better bottom-bouncer would have done the job. Fish were stacked up in water columns running down to 30 ft or more (maybe some of those at 57ft were lakers ? It was a good test run though and I'll be deploying them again on this next trip, BWCA side.

You tube is very user friendly these days.  Then just post a link.  Wanna see me cliff jump?    (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

Still mucking around with BBC codes and images to see if this picture-thing can appear here

I'll get another photo up soon. I'm not sure I could pull off a youtube vid though

Terry, the only thing left to do is post a you tube video of you building one.  I can't wait to see the finished product.

Hopefully the photo turns out. It's most of parts to make the rigs. The "after" photo is on the way too.

Anticipation is the best emotion.

I finally started making my Lindy rigs this evening. I don't know what took me so long. Perhaps it was the lakes freeing up a bit in the Twin cities. I took a before picture of most of my supplies-- pretty boring stuff and I'll do the same once I get them all tied.

I'm making them all 36" in length. Two red, two hammered silver and two hammered gold #4 colorado blades. I'm probably making a lot of mistakes but it's part of the learning process.

Terry,

Good cold rainy day project. LOL

Lindy snap swivels finally arriving today. I've had my dining room table littered with lindy rig materials for the entire month, it's time to put these things together. Now, if the ice would only melt...

I'm waiting for the Lindy snap barrel swivel thingys to arrive. Then I will snap a picture of my raw materials. Sort of a "before" picture. Once I get these things together, I'll snap a second photo of them wrapped around my tackle buddy toy.
