The top three could almost pass as lures if you added hooks.    Good work.

So is shiny / fluoro / lights good or bad?

Wed, 2011-08-24 21:53

I've heard a number of conflicting comments.  Some say if you don't use fluoro or lights you will not catch the puka / bass etc while others say if you use fluoro and lights you will attract those unwanted species.

Fluoro is really bad when there are leatherjackets around.

not my prefered!

Alan, I dont like using bright light flashers etc on my deepwater rigs!

The lumo hook sleeves are great for a visual glow and helps minimize teeth wear also!

Tubes full of lead

Wed, 2011-08-24 22:54

 All I do now is cut lenghts of 32mm steel round bar and weld on a chain link. No stuffing arround melting lead...and heaps cheaper.

Just a word of caution.  Those sinkers are cut at an angle. They will chip the crap out off the gel coat if you drop them on the deck. Or chop a toe off..

 I was thinking they would plane off to one side or spiral.

would be interesting to see how long those top ones last, id think a fish would take a liking to them on the drop
