I only use them for stacking because I have the tuna chord deal for my low rod. One for the clip then two higher up for the stopper. Take them off when I'm not stacking. I considered doing a second 20' piece of braid with another tuna chord that I could clip on when stacking but have yet to try it.What Casper said.
Fewer and fewer are using those plastic clips. Especially with high speed riggers as they bend, slide and pop off and even putting one on steel cable tends to create a weak spot in the cable where it may tend to break a strand at a later date. If the stopper clips fall off and you do not notice it, you may loose your ball etc. when the terminal gear slams into the pulley. They are in my opinion, old technology and have been replaced by rigger terminal tackle systems that have a permanent tripping system built into them. There are now a number of commercial systems available at the tackle stores including one that is now marketed by Scotty. They are also very easy to make using various cords, crimps. snubers. tube covers and swivels etc.
Thank you so much for your answers, you guys are the best .
I do have stainless line so I'm guessing the knot thing will not work
Just noticed in the last picture another thing that's changed is I don't use the bumper, the ball hook, or the snubber. Just a loop that loops over the ball, Just less stuff to loose, break, or buy.

What kind of knot do you use now?As I said, I don't have the swivel anymore. Even when I did have it everything goes though the pulley fine.
We run stainless as well. Bought a pre-fab cord set up (Scotty). Cut and crimped it on. Easy. Absolutely perfect for stopping the ball at whatever length cor you have bought (we max'd out b/c I have run the boom fully out).Thank you so much for your answers, you guys are the best .

With an unfinned ball I'd assume you'd want a swivel in there somewhere.
Yes but others do a bit differentlySo how exactly hooked up now? You knot green line with rigger line?
