Notes
- The aim is for the tow line to have a minimum stretch. Kevlar and stainless steel cores in braided polyester are ideal but cost considerably more.
- Non-floating trip lines can be used in place of Polypropylene floating line if used in conjunction with a line float placed 7-10 ft. from where the trip line is attached to the drogue.
NOTE: THE NON-USE OF A TRIP LINE IS RECOMMENDED UNLESS PROFICIENT WITH THIS METHOD. |
