Has anyone used them? Any thoughts good or bad?

I won one at Minktoberfest and was curious what others' thoughts on them are.

Thanks.

They definitely have a place on my line. Don't need a wide body often but when you do they are handy.

I agree with warrior. I have a few that I keep around for the occasional wide run. They work for me.

I slotted out some plastic pipes at both ends and had a lot of catches with that set up. They can be a chore to unravel to set them at times.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Welcome to the rbg spring chasing club. I have 2 of the 1022s and didn’t have the greatest luck with them-alot of spring empty traps.Did the mod in the picture and did a lot better.The springs seem like they aren’t wound tight enough and having them stop a little sooner seemed to do the trick plus no more chasing.
