yellow door 1 1,823 Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 (Caution these fellas will rust and drip rusty water - you've been warned - some people fully tape them or dip them in paint so this isnt a problem) Good for spots where you lose a few. With rebar off cuts you can get for free at any building site - a bit of wire - some tape - and zip ties - you too can have these beauties. You will need an angle grinder with a cut off wheel aswell - or a hack saw. I pulled on the wire and it got to 13kg without budging so I stopped pulling. Edit - Just tried it without the tape and a couple of zip ties and I got to 13 kgs without breaking aswell doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A bit heavy for my Gar float too Yeah I initially started thinking about alternative weights after donating a few surf sinkers to the local reefs. We use marker floats to define the edge and losing a few bucks when they got snagged stopped making sense pretty quick. But fishing ocean rock ledges is another place where I've wondered if donating lead is the wisest move doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doobie 5,802 Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Now I see why you're doing it - makes sense to do that and should hopefully work well for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah theres plenty of situations and rigs I wouldnt use them on - but having something thats heavy, cheap and sinks can be handy in certain scenarios. doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
