Thank you spindle. How long do you make your rigs?

The poles have line wraps on them which are very time consuming setting out and taking up, not to mention, losing a fish every once in a while trying to wrap the line. and get it to net. This week I will buy the clamps and rig everything so hopefully (fingers crossed) I can get on the water sometime next week and try and catch some much needed fish. Again I thank you for the info.

Get you some plastic wire ties. Put one one on each end of reel then wrap entire reel seat with electrical tape pulling it tight as you wrap. Never come off.

Stone Creek, go to B&M web site pull up their catalog and look for the Capps&Coleman Riggs. If I'm not mistake they list the lengths of each dropper based on sinker weight. Can use that as a starting point.

Stone Creek, go to a hardware store and get a roll of heat tape. You'll find it in the electrical section, it looks like adhesive tape, it doesn't get sticky like other tapes and is strong. I have a couple of reels taped on the rods for some 20 or more years.
You have a couple of off days here so come on over and I'll show you some rigs.
