New 120oz Heavy Duty Release Weight
Went into the Tackle Shack last week and was talking to Doug and Matt about wanting a heavier release weight for trying to get some of these bigger fish down better/quicker.
Didnt think much else about it until I recieved a call yesterday to say come pick one up. They had rang their supplier who had gotten onto it straight away. The supplier had a few thoughts but ended up using one of his existing 120oz moulds and was able to do it without destroying what he had making it a cheaper option. He was able to use the existing lip hook as per the other sizes so its locked firm into the lead.
Have added a couple of pics to show the size of it compared to the 20,40 and 80oz as well as one on its own.
Best part is the guys have said if anyone else wants one they can get them in and as with their other sizes the release weights are at cost price.
Would be perfect for releasing the big cod up North or for Big Dhuies etc off Perth.

Price
That price is for the 80oz Adam. Not sure what the 120oz costs.
If anyone wants to know Dougy or Matt are the best people to ask.

sample
The one we got made for Tim is a first off sample, they came up pretty good and utilises the guys existing mould making it fairly easy for him to make.
Price wise i will confirm with our supplier tomorrow and put it up here what we will be selling them for.
If people are interested let myself of doug know and we can get some more made as requested.

Sheesh, thats like 3.4kg.
Sheesh, thats like 3.4kg. Hopefully a few more dhuies can be saved by it.
Would be interesting if someone made a small weight one that had attachment points for standard sinkers, so you just keep hooking extra ones on as needed (and dont need to carry extra, just use the sinkers you use for bottom bouncing). Might not end up being any cheaper though :p
