PKS Universal Pigtails

Post by Cos » Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:51 pm

Just picked up two Blade Triggers 10m and 7m from a dude. Looking to fly them with my Naish Universal bar that I use with my other two Naish kites 9m and 12m.
The issue raised when I realized that the Knots and Loops on the two brands are reversed, I saw that one coming. After doing some research found two options:

1. PKS pigtails I can attach to all my fly lines and effectively reverse the knots and loops. http://kiteboarding.com/proddetail.asp? ... al_pigtail

2. Get a second bar with reversed line ends, possibly the Blade bar that is designed for those kites.

Option 1 sound like a cheaper option and just as effective as long as the lines are the same length. But would introduce extra shenanigans on the beach swapping the pigtails.

Wanted to get some feedback.

Thanks

You could just buy 2 sets of those pigtails and leave them on both Triggers.
Then you can use the Naish bar with all 4 kites as is without much drama.
