Good morning all, Two questions, (1)I surfcast with a Clip Down Pully Rig and am currently using Gemini Splash Down Solo Bait Clips (Orange) which I have found totally reliable however, I am wondering what others think of the Gemini Juno Bait Clips? (2) I attach my trace to the rig using Gemini Link Clips and on occasions on retrieval, I have found the complete trace is missing, I don't believe the Link Clip is detaching from the swivel (attached to the rig body) and am wondering if occasionally the Link Clip is breaking, most probably at the time of casting. Thankfully it doesn't happen very often but I hate to think of a trophy fish swimming around with my trace attached.

I have them but not yet used. I tend to use the Gemini splashdown in the three different weights or gemini spingies if in an estuary to counter current flow and I pour all my own leads. Ill give the Junos a go on my next Taranaki trip.

I had another trace dis-connect yesterday, I think I shall stop using Genie Link clips to attach my trace to the rig.
I am going to change the connection of my trace to the rig from Gemini fast link clips to Breakaway Fastlink Clips, that should solve the problem I have. The Breakaway clips also pick up less weed.
For drop down pulley rigs I have a 60lb Gemini swivel at the end of my shock leader and this clips into a breakaway pulley clip. Greta rig to use in an estuary current, positions the bait away from the grip lead and ensures its close to the bottom and the pulley effect on the retrieve. Here is an example;
The one thing I change (basically) is to replace the IMP in this clip with a Gemini swivellink to attach the lead so when the lead spins the swivel clip spins with it so the rig does not spin/twist up, this is clipped to a Gemini Splashdown or the blue gemini bait clip attached to the Gemini Springy lead system to counter strong currents.
