Depends if you are using Halyard locking pulleys like Hal-locks or teh Rupp equivalent. I found that 2.5mm black cord from Burnsco does the trick, an overhand knot into each end of the release clip makes it simple to rig. 

Again if you are using some kind of halyard pulley they are usually connected to boat via bungy, so that affects the crispness of release more than anything.

You are correct, however he isn’t talking about changing his riggers. A material with limited stretch will allow you to pre tension (load) your outrigger via your halyard tensioner much better. Long story short, something with no stretch is much better than something with stretch, especially if you have big outriggers ]]> Sat, 20 Nov 2021 08:12:31 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136201&PID=1819214&title=outrigger-setup#1819214 <![CDATA[Outrigger setup : It might vary slightly - depending...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136201&PID=1819204&title=outrigger-setup#1819204 Author: Alan L

It might vary slightly - depending what system you use. If you use the slider method and have the clip trailing behind the pole, maybe there is some stretch factor.
My clips sheet hard up to the end of the pole. Minimal cord to stretch.
I would tend to agree with FA. The pole would have to be the biggest factor. You would have a hard job stretching my cord any appreciable amount before the clip pings at a few kgs. Maybe a few mm at most.

The stiffness of the outrigger pole itself is a more critical factor to a crisp release imo.

It is also very stable and resistant to UV so you can do multiple seasons with it.

Appreciate the feedback JB nice one!

I did the same 2.5mm venetian cord, same for taglines, no problems.  Plastic practice golf balls for stoppers.

Venetian cord, Check out action outdoors in rosebank road, Auckland they will have something for you.

Could also use nylon, you can get a black nylon from couple of shops.

I'm not sure strength is really an issue. Your trolling clips ping at a few kgs. I have some cord on mine, sure they came with them from the factory. Kilwell. 10 yrs now. Like starter cord on lawnmower. Made to slip into retainer cleat at base. Not sure it is too complicated really.
It will tangle, whatever, depending how you run them.
