Spinning bar without shackle

Postby Petro9 » Mon Aug 11, 2003 8:55 am

Does anyone know of a bar that can be used for spins without a direct swivel shackle connected to one's spreader bar?
The only one that I am aware of is the STAGE 2 bar, anything else??

Thanks!!! :)

The stage 2 bar has a shacke and use its swivel to spin around.

The storm2 bar is "leashless" so its spinnable. Naish will came with a spinnable leash and a all new bar system this season.

I THINK the ProLimit trimloop/adjuster has a built-in swivel.

I only know of the KPS Bar but it uses shackle. I strongly recommend it.

Airush chick loop w/leash attachment

I just bought some of the new airush chicken loops that have an attachment on them for your leash... It allows the leash to spin with the bar and you don't have to have a shackle...
Cheap too!!

aloha for now

Thanks for the info!
I checked the pro-limit and the chicken loop will not spin.
I was also interested in the Airush so I'll probably pursue that product!

Are you sure? Last time I checked there was a swivel just above the blue trim loop, covered with black neoprene.
