Dennis made a good point with the quick change clevis. The beads stay the same but you can pop blades on and off real fast. One thing I liked about building my own was the length of the line between the hooks. I like to make mine longer so as to help out with short strikes. Plus you get to choose your hooks. I like to use the red gamagatsu hooks. I like to use a heavier pound line too. Flourocarbon is the way to go in my book. Lots oh the new stuff comes with the quick change for the blades and it probably wont save you any money by building your own, but thats ok. I have even taken purchased rigs, pulled them apart and kept the same design and pattern of the beads and blades, just changed out the hooks and added a little more distance between them. Its all just what you like to do.
