BOLA (Bulldog OAR Lanyard Adjuster)

[Island Lescure]

Looks great! Any plans to add a similar weight bearing top attachment to the CBDB to switch between srt and drt?

A top teardrop on the Bulldog Bone does not work for DdRT, you have to terminate back to the bridge to make it work.

Hi the Gordon I'm not a million miles away from needing a new spine on my bone. What is this adjustable bone you speak of as I'm intrigued? Need to decide weather to have another bone or go for the akimbo.

Here it is pictured in the Bulldog Bone thread. It has a fixed bollard that can be adjusted with a captive set screw, which is part of the one piece top arm of the Bone. I make also just the adjustable top arm assembly which is interchangeable with any previous Bulldog Bone.

Cool. Just checking if that was in the pipeline.

That new bulldog lanyard adjuster looks awesome Gordon. Could it be made to work that well on 10mm rope rather than the 11mm km3? I tend to use the 10mm sirius reepschnur by teufelberger for a lanyard. Cheap as chips and easy to splice I cant imagine ever wearing out my bulldog bones with my featherweight status but if I do I will be sure to replace them. 2SRT on 2 bulldogs is heaven

The Lanyard adjuster (BOLA) does not grip on the reepschnur, however I have a prototype device that will on the 10mm line such as the reepschnur and beeline. which is pictured below on the left (Lynx)

Looks cool, but its quite long. Would it not be possible to get the bola to grab if it were made with smaller chain links?

I have made a BOLA from the next size smaller links, but so far with unsatisfactory result.
