with about a 5 foot leader

Most tournaments specify a max length of 6ft which is what I made most of mine to meet.

[Nailer]

6' is pretty much the standard.

[Fishwhisperer]

I run 6 footers and use a rubber band.

[Paulywood]

I only run free sliders but I usually go from about hand to hand with my arms outstretched. I'm pretty short so it works for me.

[DIRTY DOG]

i go from 6 to 8 ft and use the rubber band method

[GLF]

I run 6' sliders. I use a piece of surgical tubing with a slit cut in it, a barrel swivel and a bead for making the fixed.

[Satisfaxion_Gauranteed]

If I'm using fixed sliders, I run ~6'(give or take) in length and use the cheap, spring loaded, stacker releases to clip to the cable.

[Adam Bomb]

I usually run mine 6' in length and hold them in place by half hitching a rubber band.

Anyone ever try those free and fixed slider clips from Legendary Tackle in Frankfort? Ive had some for years, but theyve never made the water.....I always have the rubber bands out, so i just grab one and half hitch it on when i want a fixed.

Never heard that before, but Im on Lake O. I run a 10' cheater all the time on every rigger rod.

Not sure if I am doing something wrong??? I've tried Elberta Clippers, but it seems that they end up damaging my line over time. I've switched to the old rubber band technique the last few trips and it seems to work okay. I'm always hesitant to reel the rubber band through the guides, but so far I have had no problems with it costing me a smooth drag if the fish peels out line. Never seems to be enough time to remove the band in the middle of the action! But, I guess thats a good thing...
