Recently bought a Mystere 5.0xl, and i'm not sure exactly how to set up the trap lines. The line adjusters are clam cleats and have the stainless dogbones. How/ where do i attach the shock cord to this setup so that it maintains that constant upward pull on the dogbone and returns it to the tramp when unhooked? I see the grommets in the tramp for the rear line shockcord and the front line shockcord passes thru the crossbeam. Can't seem to find any photos/drawings for clamcleat lines showing shockcord attachment

Interesting, but not quite what i have. I only have the one handle, clamcleat w/line and no pulley. Unless there's something missing here?

the second link only has one handle. The second handle is actually a high end dogbone. Put your stainless dogbone there. You will need to have a pulley because you are basically pulling your weight up when you adjust the length when out on the wire.

Thanks Pete, i guess the seller must have forgotten to give me those little pullies, and that would explain the four short pieces of mystery line!

Up here in Canada it's so mountainous even the lakes flow downhill! :p
Seriously though, the picture is right side up on my phone, so i don't know why that happened... 😆
