Rigging a Stage

[Spirit of Guernsey]

I have 3 stages, an AL40 and two AL7s, all rigged with off the shelf rigging kits. Now that I am on a CCR, they are suboptimal and the boltsnaps are too small, the jubilee clips have corroded too. Any ideas on the best way to rig them, I already have some larger boltsnaps.

I don’t understand what the CCR has to do with it, can you explain

I’ve been using off the shelf just with big ass custom divers bolt snaps

The standard boltsnaps are too small for the frame.

I make my own custom stage straps using the Large Xdeep boltsnaps both top and bottom and some 5mm cord.

Works nicely both in cold and warm water.

I am not sure exactly what your issues are but for me the only clips id use were the BIG loop Kent tooling ones. They were by far the most easy to handle and secure clips I ever owned and fantastic for blind work

Ha Ha Mark, just for personal use mate. Buy the clips yourself, a bit of cord and off you go

Buying the bits can be as expensive as the sum of their parts. Granted the clips on some of the premade stuff can be absolute shite.

I have always preferred to pay a little extra for the right gear....on saying that I had the cord already so it was really just the cost of the two Xdeep bolt snaps.£24

[Paulo]

£12 for a bolt snap? For that price it had better come with someone to clip it on and off for me!
