Jr., Jr., Jr.

What are you thinking? I will debone you sew you up and drag you all over the atlantic with a 12/0 hanging out of your A**.

[Relentless33]

I already did, it sucks, saw a nice tarpon rolling through the intracoastal while I was waxing the boat. :lol:

[Tuna Devil]

Sweet, I am going fishing now. Later. :afro:

You can't handle a stinger hook. I am not even sure about the 12/0. :lol:

JR, you need to use some kind of Polymer 2 paint sealant so you only have to wax the boat a couple times a year, then you could spend more time fishing.

[Relentless33]

Does anyone know where I can get more Colonite Insulator Wax ?? It works great but everywhere we have searched they don't have it.

Paint sealant ??

I hardly ever loose sinkers. I can't remember the last time i lost one, and i use the little bands. i tried the black ones the last time i went out and they were months old. didn't loose a sinker and i was 1-5. are you fish pp or mono?

actually i do remember the last weight i lost, ROB PEREZ!!!!!

[Relentless33]

mono

[seaclusion]

I have a reverse problem. I want to use a very heavy weight 10 - 15 lbs to get to the bottom , but I want to lose it very easily on the drop if my bait gets picked up or when it gets to bottom. I am using a rig from main line of 2lb weight , leader then hook. I have been putting the big weight on light line tied to leader above hook. so far too lite or too heavy . any ideas ?

[mannyc]

QQ,

I was thinking the same thing. Right now I have lights and wieghts on LL clips and it makes it easy to clip on and when a fish get close to the boat its even easier to remove than a ripping a rubber band. I did not know if anyone was doing that on ballons. Its a Pain to get rubber bands not to slide.

[quack quack]

no 4 wraprs around the line and it's solid.Plus with band wrapped it comes off when it breaks.

It's "Collinite" I believe, and I always got it from the hardware store. They kept scrub brushes and boat waxes for us fish heads.

Everybody always talks about phone wire...where do you get it? Is is just a regular phone cord?

You have IM.

Hi Guys. For Years Of Tuna Chunking We Use #64 Bands Also-they Stay In Place Or Slide Down To The Leader. If It Doesnt Slide Down Grab It And Stretch The Band And Slide It Back And Forth Several Times Real Fast On The Main Line And It Will Heat Up And Pop Off. Also Another Way Is To Use Electricans Tape With Several Wraps And Tear It Off As It Comes Up. The Gook Left On The Main Line Is The Next Mark To Reapply.

Like Risk Taker, we like the weight farther away from the bait than the light. We use a second long line clip (with Mono crimped to lead ) to secure the lead farther from the hook than the LP light. Instead of a wax loop, we wrap the line that we are going to clamp the weight on with a rubber band so that it won't slide. Havent lost a weight yet.

[roccsky63]

I used to use those blk bands too but I have switched to suffix 20lb line. Instead of the band, put the line to the weight and light. I have not lost a light or weight since. Seems to be working just fine. Plus with the bands, they tend to stretch after two trips and have to be changed. Try the line.

[LHPfish]

i guess im the only one that wants the to break away, we use # 24 bands

[Stressless]

I'm new so please bear with me for a moment and then thrash me..

OK, so #64, #32, #24 and little black things, phone wire, wax thread and electrical tape. DAmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnn.

So my #1 question is this: you don't want to pause with say 200' of line out while you F K with a Ballon, Jug, Pool Noodle, and any of the above attachments to the main line so how do you rig it to release from the line?

#2 question is the 30' from the boat and the three way swivel that is not going through the guides? at that point you are leadering the fish - correct? or how do you get the beast within resonable gaff distance and still have the stuff (light) attached?

Thanks for any help - I have a trip lined up when I get back in May.

we connect our floats with 10 or 12 lb mono so when your setting the hook and cranking like crazy the float should pop off.if it dosent weo have a releaser ready to cut the float line without cutting the main line. as for the weights and lights, we connect them with LL clips, instead of stopping you can just keep reeling and the line will pass through them fine with the LL clip at the tip of the rod. We get them off as fast as possible but this way you dont have to stop reeling and allow the fish to turn his head. We have wind-on leaders on all of our sword rods so you can crank the fish right to the boat and stick him without really needing to leader him.

Is there anyway you can take a picture of this, or explain it in greater detail?

[princeofdarkness]

I just clip each one on with a longline clip. First the light, Then the weight, and then the jug. No litter and no lost $ on weights. I know a tackle shop dealer or two and they like to sell weights.

[lcosta02]

My question is the following.

If you tie the lead to the snap-swivel where your squid goes, does the squid present itself correctly? I assume the squid should be "swimming" horizontally when drifting. I want to tie the lead higher than the leader and light so that the squid would swim more natural.

Any suggestions?

Wrap the line with wax floss where you are going to attach the weight and the jug to keep it from sliding..

Has anyone bought this type of sling shot before that holds the amo in the handle? Wholesale Sporting Goods Items Shipped To You Direct From China Wholesaler
this company has free shipping to anywhere in the world and they guarantee delivery to Australia. I heard that sling shots
are ok to sell in Australia as long as you say they are being used to toss bait in the water when you go fishing, any truth
to thatone?
