I was initially looking at ordered the Beneath the Surface Loc-Line that has a steel leader going through the inside in case your loc-line decided to seperate on you under the water. Nobody wants to loose there expensive video lights . After looking at what it was going to cost me to purchase the Beneath the Surface Loc-Line, I decided to make my own. It was simple and didn't take very long. I used a 1/16" drill bit to drill 2 small holes both in the Y/S Top Adapter and also the Loc-Line base adapter. I then purchased Berkley Fishing Steel Nylon Coated wire (45lb line strength) which I know is overkill. I ran that Wire through the top holes of the Y/S Top Adapter and crimped them there and did the same through the base. It is a simple way to have some security in case the Loc-Line separates. It is also very easy to change if down the road you want to make your Loc-Line longer or shorter.
I will be taking more pictures tonight of the finished product once I get it all put together and will be posting them tomorrow. I also want to say thanks to SB member 8obatus on sharing his GoPro setup which I used as a reference.
Thanks,
