Slider rigs

[quote="Wildkat Tim" post=19523]Don't forget about fixed sliders. We used them with great success when we fished contests. Most when going deep for Lakers. You set your bottom bait & run it down 10' to 20' which ever you feel best. Then take your slider hook it to the main line. Then half hitch a rubber band to the down rigger cable. Connect your slider snap to the rubber band. This gives you 2 baits running near the bottom. And yes it is great to get 2 at once.
Almost forgot to say. Don't forget to hook the snap to your main fishing line after connected to the cable. It's not the right way but makes for a very interesting time if you get 1 to bite on the bait hooked to the rigger cable only. LOL[/quote]
I actually accidentally bought two sliders from Chamberlain when I was buying my downrigger releases so I do have them to use also. I know it is not exactly the same and it does require an extra pole but same idea.
