Large retrieval ball?

[Brad_28]

Anyone know where i can get a slightly larger retrieval ball from? I made the mistake of buying a shackle thats a little to big for my soon to be home made ropeguide.

 

Cheers people

 

I relised after posting this that if the ball is to big it will not go through the pulley, so looks like il av to find another way around this lol...

I had a similar issue with mine. The small retrieval balls should fit through a pinto or a cocoon. You may just need a smaller shackle which then has more chance of running up the line on a fast descent and moving up to the sheave of the pulley..

Any decent chandlery should stock a range of sizes.
