Booma 1,360 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Do you guys use coated hooks, or wrap your hooks in electrical tape or anything, or have you found it doesn't make a difference? Wondering, if it is the done thing, whether that plasti dip spray paint you can get would have the same effect, and be a little neater than heat shrink or electrical tape?

twinpower 151 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I use heat shrink at all my joins and always use nylon coated wire! Don't coat the hooks with anything tho! Cheers Booma 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Booma 1,360 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I use heat shrink at all my joins and always use nylon coated wire! Don't coat the hooks with anything tho! Cheers Thanks for that! Whats the go with the heat shrink on the joins? Does it stop them catching/chafing/rubbing, is it something to do with the shark being able to sense the metal, or is it purely a cosmetic thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abarbz 39 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 It's good in a few ways I suppose obviously to help with any electrical pulses sharks detect but also good to see weather or not u had a hit if unsure. A lot Easier to detect teeth marks or scuff in the heat shrink then bare nylon coating. And yes also the cosmetic side the trace looks abit neater, not that a shark would care at all lol Booma 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Booma 1,360 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Ah right yeah, that all makes sense! Thanks for that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
