Nikhum 16 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Crispy - I swear by these when mully fishing. Every time I pop into Kmart I grab a few packs. A must have for my tackle box. Popping sinkers on and off have never been so easy and Ive been using them for years! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack. 10 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yeah I too swear by these.... And the mrs is always bringing em home for me, would almost be lost without them these days.Just a tiP though, to helP with casting, I tie a very small trace from mine, with a loop so I can replace the sinker easy though still. The trace is always lighter than the mainline and only like 15cm. It gives the sinker a pendulum effect when casting so it will travel nicely if casting a heavy bait or livie. it also helps keep the whole running rig that little bit higher off the bottom . Great little piece of kit these slides and if ever I run out I use a sliding swivel in it's place. Happy angling Savagelip 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nickmav 0 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 i agree with all above BUT....if you run them on braid down to a swivel expect some knots!i always tie a 2 metre leader to my braid and find the easy rig sliding on this produces zero knots.good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just Me 0 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I like 'em too Crispy. Also as Jack said with a dropper line from the easy rig, if ya get snagged you only lose the sinker. 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crispy 2 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Damb i new youd pick that aff and i thought i hid it well ,poppa snake they come in three sizes (i think) small, med and large different colors red small light work, med blue and larg black the sinker hooks onto the stainless hook and the line goes through the red part when you tie your leader to your swivel the ezi rig goes onto your main line and the swivel is used as a stopper dont worry poppa snake i didnt know how to use them either until recently (must be something about being an ol fart) but i think it has to be a great idea no more cutting line to change sinker weights or types heres some pics popcrispy Poppa Snake 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

talbo 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 They are great, have been using them for quite some time also. TW on Port Rd sell them much cheaper than almost everywhere else. Poppa Snake 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
