ShANeO 0 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 hey guys,went out fishing last night with me brother(RBT) down semaphore jetty.1st time we had attempted floating our baits outs with balloons..Damn it worked good we couldnt belive how effective it was.but it got to the point where we couldnt see the balloons anymore.i brang mine in to put some fresh bait on and thort i might hook a glow stick up to the balloon, but then i put the glowstick inside me balloon and let it out.probly out bout 150-200meters and you could see it clear as day.thort it was a good tip for any1 out there ballooning.no joy on the big rods but me bro caught a doggy on cockle with a hook usally used for whiting it was a sight to see.hope this glowing balloon tip is helpful 2 some1.........still waitn for the big1 tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jewie 3 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 it is a good idea, but when you have something big take your bait the balloon will break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cal 480 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 it is a good idea, but when you have something big take your bait the balloon will break.Isnt that the idea,when you get a hit the ballon breaks free?Skuse my ignorance,but thats what I"ve always been led to believe.Cheers 8) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyboy21 2 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 i usually just tie my balloons straight to my wire trace if you tie it tight enough they dont realy move Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nicol 0 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 ive seen the glow stick in the baloon a couple of times before. but i usually just tie my baloon straight onto the rig where i want it to be it doesnt budge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pescados 1 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 There are plastic holders available for the light sticks.So instead of putting it in the balloon, tie the holder to the line as close as possible to the balloon and if it bursts you don't lose your light stick. :icon_e_wink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
