Loving my center rigger

I installed Bly's removable center rigger back in March and I love it. It allows me to fish the wwb line at 150-165 yards and run another down the center at about 100-125 yards. This is all done with reels in the leaning post. It has been a very effective setup, this year. Also with all the grass we have had last three trips the wwb will trip if grass is on it. Just thought I would share it.

I got to use my CR really for the first time last weekend (not Blys). My rods are in a cockpit rocket launcher and I experienced a lot of creep back on the rigger (blacks clip). Did you have this same problem?

I love the center rigger on my boat too. As you mentioned it allows you to run a wwb line and also run a second line down the middle of you want. Some folks claim the center rigger is in the way...but I disagree.

Love mine as well, now the shotgun doesn't have to be off the hard-top where it was hard to reach and harder to get out with a fish on, we were going to lose a rod/reel sooner or later, makes the center rigger look cheap!

You have a pulley on the long end of the rigger? Just the mono, a clip a ball at the end and either a glass eye or pulley at the bottom of the rigger. My rigger line is spyder-line and its pretty snug. You do have a bungee of some sort also, right?

Yes, a pulley on the long end of the rigger (bought the boat with it that way). You're suggesting I should remove the pulley?
No ball either, I put a crimp in the middle of the blacks clip so it essentially serves as the stop (same as my outriggers). I do have a bungee connecting it to the tower leg.
Think I'll re-rig this with some para cord I have and bypass the pulley to see how that works next trip.
Thanks for the help!
