Capps & Coleman rig Question

What size cross line swivel do I need to order for making rigs? I went back and read alot of old post but could not find this info! I am about to order stuff to make up some to start spider rigging...so any specifics would be appreciated....Thanks in Advance:D

I used their system for a couple of years and it is a winner, I just didn't.
It takes a lot of patience and practice.
You gotta work your way up to 8 poles, I never could.
A good partner is part of the recipe.
I only got to where we can handle 6 at a time and one of those I keep in hand.
I made a modified system that works better for me.
the post is a couple of pages down now where I show all.

I sell the C&C rigs and have bulk # 8 crossline swivels available for $9.95/100 pk.

Capps & Coleman rigs use black crossline swivels, #7, 12.95 for a gross at Grizzly Swivels

their rig is sold already put together at capellas. cheaper to make your own

If you refer to their book "Winning Secrets" i believe they indicate a #8 or #6. Too small and your lines will get tangled more often. Two big and they will casue more drag on your lines as you move forward.

Wish they made them with lighter line. I think the 3/8 oz one is on 10 lb test. So would have to run 12-14 main line. I tie mine all winter long and wrap on pipe insulation. I tie mine differant with the weight on bottom to detect the bottom easier when fishing shallow. But also tie mine with 6 lb test and use 10 on main line. The it will break off below the swivel on my main line. Put another one the swivel slap on two minnows and back in the water real fast that way and no having to retye on the water.

I like the light line also. I fish a clear lake and use 6lb ultragreen maxima. I tie that to 10lb high vis.

what size line do you use on your reels?

I used to use different size line....4 lb for single pole jigging....6 lb for spider rigging...10 lb for pulling crankbaits. Now i use 10 lb for everything. I use hi vis yellow mono.

I use 20 lb braid on my reels it is the size of 6 lb test All my hook leads are 10 lb test flouracarbon Because it is tough and a little stiff. I have no problem with needing a stealth line I fish muddy water most of the time The 10 lb leaders straighten hooks when I get hung. This helps a lot in rigging time
