    Combi rig components

    Hi Chris and Chris! Thanks for the replys. I have also thought of using those Gemini booms, but was a bit concerned about the diameter of them, but like you I like all my rigs tied exactly the same so these would help achieve that, which is why I asked the question re crimps. Food for thought...

I would love a tackle manufacture to make an updated version
