    Try some bamboo skewers (shaslick skewers). They are thinner and lighter than dowel. Usually very cheap at Coles/Woolworths If you want to go really light go to a craft shop and get styrene foam balls. They are dirt cheap. Hot glue the skewers in to position. After you bind the eyes/swivels/whatever in place, seal with the hot glue. (wood glue may not be waterproof).. 'a course...... you seem to have enuff floats now......... maybe just go fishing!!

    Spot on Yellow. I have already re-rigged my whiting, gar, tommies and shark gear. My usual snapper spot carries all these from time to time, as well as snook, squid, sweep, trevally and on one occasion sampson fish. Its not a bad spot, close to shore and 7m deep. Mind you on at least 6 outings I have hooked legal snapper on my gar hooks!!! Guess I'll have to throw them back -- but at least there will be no barotrauma.

    C'mon Wadey............ you know the govt expects the Snapper to obey the rules and not take your bait if your fishing for another species!

I recall seeing 'somewhere' that we are expected to have a suitable means to return them to the water to the depth at which they were caught, to reduce barotrauma ie a release hook with weights. https://pir.sa.gov.au/fishing/community_engagement/snapper_management_review_2019

    I'm quite happy to use cheaper reels for smaller fish but I generally use known 'brands'. For larger fish it has be a good quality reel --- usually known. ABU and Penn mostly. I do have a couple of unknowns that perform-- but I only got them coz they were bloody cheap and were worth the risk. I gave up buying home brand combos after a bad experience with 2 x 'snake brand' outfits. Similarly 'snake' hooks and swivels have a short 'in use' life..... but I still have a lot in reserve... I have a lot (yes... a lot!!) of ebay braid..... and have never had it let me down. I'

    I made one years ago out of steel flat bar. It was so out of balance you couldnt hold it steady. I now use an electric mulcher and/or BIG mincer. If these fail my fishing buddy has a commercial plastics granulator modified to do fish..... nothing stops that!
