The Tronixpro Ledger Boom (Medium) is a specialized piece of terminal tackle, primarily used to construct a running ledger rig, particularly in boat fishing.
Here are the key features and purpose of this component:
Key Features and Specifications
| Feature | Detail |
| Function | To act as a running boom for the main line, allowing the fish to take the bait without feeling the resistance of the lead weight. |
| Design/Shape | Traditional style boom with a triangular shape. This specific design is intended to help the boom sit correctly in the tide or current, leading to improved bait presentation and bite detection. |
| Movement | The main line runs freely through the central part of the boom, achieving the running aspect of the rig. |
| Tangle Reduction | The booms structure helps to space the lead weight away from the trace (hook length), significantly reducing tangles, especially with longer trace setups. |
| Swivel | It typically comes fitted with a Tronixpro Interlock Snap Swivel on the end for quick attachment of the lead weight (ledger). This snap swivel can be easily replaced if preferred. |
| Size | The Medium size indicates its physical length, which is a good, versatile size for general boat angling situations. |
| Target Angler | It is described as a must-have item in any boat anglers box, though it can be used for shore fishing as well, particularly for pier fishing where a flowing trace is desired. |
How It Is Used
The Tronixpro Ledger Boom is a crucial component in a standard running ledger rig:
- Mainline: The mainline (or shock leader) is threaded through the central hole of the boom.
- Boom Attachment: A small bead and a strong swivel are tied to the end of the mainline. The bead prevents the boom from sliding down over the knot.
- Trace: The hook trace (snood) is tied to the free end of the swivel.
- Lead Weight: The lead weight is attached to the snap swivel on the end of the boom.
When a fish bites, the line slides freely through the boom and the fish pulls directly against the rod tip, not the weight, providing excellent bite indication.
