yellow door 1 1,726 Posted May 14 Author Report Share Posted May 14 After the toothies put a dint in my light weight metal collection - I figured Id grab a few 30 grammers - and I also found myself wanting some sinking bibbed minnows to chuck off the top of bridges - ali express order came through today - not sure how any any of them will swim - but I like the look of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yellow door 1 1,726 Posted May 14 Author Report Share Posted May 14 Took 2 casts to pass the micro perch test. Then 2 more to pass it again.…….. on the down side the trebs don’t like rough treatment and I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the brisk arse first sink on the pause. I haven’t used sinking bibbed minnows before. Is the arse first sink pretty standard? Softy, Soobz and Plectropomus 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soobz 551 Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I've only got a couple of sinking minnows, neither are bum first, I assume they weighted yours for better casting at the cost of sinking weird. What bent the hook? Surely not that fish... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nah the fish spazzed out while I was removing hooks with pliers - They are pretty light gauge though - not quite Owner St-ll light-wire - but closer to the 11's than the 36ers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yellow door 1 1,726 Posted May 21 Author Report Share Posted May 21 not sure how either of these will go but..... These thin worms are a pain to rig - so I cut up some shrink tube to protect them from the thread - then lashed them on - with a dab of super glue on the securing knots Just waiting to see if there is a reaction and the different plastic causes the "Zman Style" plastic to melt. Also - I was looking up Kayak nets and they are pretty exxy. I can get a $10 replacement rubber net off ali expres - and I had the steel rod and pvc in the garage - just heated it up - and put a pencil in the middle of the wires and stepped on it - a bit of araldite will lock them in place - and bang - cheap net for little stuff.
