A Lindy Rig is nothing more than a Carolina Rig with a "walking type" sinker
and live bait. Just as with C-Rigs, leader length is dependant on
conditions at the time. I've used Lindy Rigs with 18" leaders, I've used
them with 8' leaders.

I've seen them pre-packaged and it appears that they're made with mono in
the 10 pound class, but most guys I know just build them with what's on
hand.

Usually the rigs are about 3ft in length. Depending on "conditions" they can
get to about 12ft long.

Here's their website,
http://lindyfishingtackle.com/tackle...me.php?cat=266, why
don't you give them a shout via e-mail and find out? To me, it looks like
generic mono line, approximately 10 lb. test.

I don't think Ted would like me even asking at this point,, you see I'm
trying to take a part of that market, :-) my Rock hopper is 25 times
more snag resistant than the weight he now uses for that rig.

His site does not give line or hook size

Cabela's sells them all the time. Buy a couple different models and see
what they're made of.
