Grapple sinkers
Submitted by brown364 on Sun, 2017-07-30 22:59
Just thought I would put it out there if anyone wants to make some grapple sinkers I have cut my mould to fit wires and do so ( or snapper sinkers). If you have lead we can cut a deal , cook it up , have a beer, yarn and split some of the creations . Some I made on sat attached

Nothing speccie
Either clamp and drill out or use an angle grinder to notch out where the wire is going to penetrate. Make sure your wire is either looped or hooked on the end inside the mould so they don't slip out or pivot and bobs you uncle! I will edit pics

Locking in the sand in
Locking in the sand in heavier seas instead of a star sinker Grunt. Also use when running a livey along the line.

We did it!
Thanks to Callum's assistance we knocked out around 60 grapples in no time ........once we perfected the art! Found a great product at bunnings to use as wires, bird spikes! Stainless steel and spot on length and around $8 for 40 of them , 20 sinkers per pack
