Here is a way to build adjustable drowner cables ... for this example I used eight feet of 3/32 cable, one cam lock, one universal swivel as a drowner lock, 3 double ferrules and two stops A ferrule swager/crimper is easily replaced with a hammer ... on the deep water end the double ferrule can be substituted with a 3/8" or 5/16" nut ... just pass cable through it making a loop and secure a stop or annealed nut to end of cable for adjustable end These adjustable drowner cables can really come in handy ... only thing i should add is ... make sure your line stays tight or your adjustable length may extend ... i sometimes coil the excess cable and secure it with a zip tie ... then pushing it into the mud ... keeps it out of the way Study the pictures, it should make it quite easy for you Hope this helps ;D

possumskinner,
great instuction!!!!
this would almost eliminate broken wire from hard fighting critters. Especially those setups that have marginal amount of water.
do you find a specific length to make these that tends to be standard?
