    my suspension migration

    I made a video showing my different suspensions that I have used. Whoopie -> UCF -> Speed Hooks

    At least they are fun to watch again, but mostly I like to watch a good game. Lately it seems whenever I happen to have the time to watch a game it really stinks...oh well, that's the best time to tinker with my gear.
    Thanks for the compliment.

    I'm now at #2 (the UCR) in my suspension progression since I've taken up splicing my own line. I was not too happy with how touchy the hold on a UCR can be when weighted. I watched my friend almost dropped to the ground when his wife touched the prussic knot as he was trying out my new suspension system. I read about this happening in another thread and was amazed when I actually saw it happen. I have been reading about the speed hooks lately but have been leery about adding another piece of 'hardware' to my system and was unsure about the ease of adjustment but your video points out the benefits of this system. I appreciate having more working length on the suspension and adjustment is straight forward and simple. I just may give them a try.
