Guest Big-Banana Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I think they are a little too thick. The more streamlined they are the better IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishyfingers Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDiko Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 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 IFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie big bob Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 I think they are a little too thick. The more streamlined they are the better IMO. anthony 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 bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just takes a bit of ingenuity. We've got an electric winch, so I guess it doesn't affect me much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The electric reel does not seem to make it any cheaper cheers Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
