I think they are a little too thick. The more streamlined they are the better IMO.

Sorry Guys i just scraped a stack of lead sash weights i bet somebody would have wanted em hey.

[fishyfingers]

this may sound a bit amature-ish, but as far as this type of fishing is concerned i am an amature!

wouldn't it be easier if you had it hooked on a sort of snap system similar to out or downriggers. this way once you're on they snap loose and you don't have to bring it up with you?

if they're only costing 75 cents, who cares if you lose a few ?

just a thought

Good idea for snags (not the eating type) as well.

Depending on the current that's what I do. Get to the bottom, strike, then the 6lb trace to the sinker snaps.

However, when the winch comes in there will be no need for it as it will be a hell of a lot easier winding up with two hands

you could be right but i belive in one thing, that if it takes 45seconds longer to hit the bottom then i am willing to wait.

it is all about cost.As i dont realy want the sinker on my retrieve.

So the cost of the sinker is the most important thing to me not the time.

But would also like to let you know that mk2 is on its way and the size will be smaller and weight well be around the 3kg mark and the cost to be lowered as well

cheers

It depends who you speak to, there are a lot of cheap variations out there. It just takes a bit of ingenuity.

We've got an electric winch, so I guess it doesn't affect me much...

I have an electric reel but when i lose a sinker that i dont want.

The electric reel does not seem to make it any cheaper
