if you have good reels and good rods to work a fish I really dont think fish can strip that much line.... if you make a fish really fight the drag and the rod you can slow them down pretty quickly

but you can lose some also

feet... and like I said that is bare bones min......

are you asking what the least amount you want on your reel?

I would say at min 350 feet... thats dead minimum

you can always increase you capacity by adding braid frist then mono since braid is thinner

this should put some concerns at ease people.......

Bob is marketing costume spoons to people and if somebody tries to move in on a patter you make up with him he aint mass producing it.... good work bob... when I first started taking to you this was a huge concern of mine because I asked you to recreate a spoon I didnt want massed produced.... And it hasnt and this post shows that it wont be

Bobby - can you paint Cannon balls ? I want to paint my downrigger weights glow !

dont steal my idea!

I have been using 20 lb p line about 35ish feet tied with an albright knot

best thing to do is det things at above and below where you are marking fish and taking hit I guess

would glow be a bad choice?

120 dipsey firetiger. Marking fish out here, but they come.down check things out and leave.

anybody have success with these? look real nice and I just got them in and im a little worried about the size of them

They are 65 and 89 on atommik website for torpedo. You got a hell of a deal. Can't even find 12 lb round ball for that price

huh sorry for being argumentative I was just going based on personal experience

doesnt sound very efficient to me

It is an embarrassment to the char family and an insult to the salmonoide within the lake.

I dont think thats true at all

I think they are very pretty animals

Lots of boats out there using these. We still just have 10 and 12lb round ball weights but the blowback has been insane. Maybe next year - after we add down speed & temp.

I bought those same weights at all seasons 2 years ago and paid less than $30 each

did prices go way up? maybe now im wrong about price of sharks

very good read going to check my gear again this week

I dont think I will ever not buy a water proof cell phone again... It could save your life

Look 2 posts up and you'll see the shark website

I paid like $27 for torpedo style weights.... I dont know where you see them for more than $50 each

Sharks. Order off their website and they aren't that much

not much?

at least double the price of other types

Wrong I paid less for my sharks then my torpedos. And they should ne double the price cause there 4a times better. Atleast 10 ft less blowback with 12 lb sharks over 15 lb torpedos. Not to mention the amount of fish they bring into your spread. I've seen fish streak 48 ft up. I painted one with glow paint then did the top of it with that chart safety paint. You can't say this is better then that if you've never fished with them. You can also turn much tighter without crabbing.

id like to know where you are shopping then

do you get to keep them or does the boat?

I have heard that on tuna trips you dont get to keep them the boat does and sells them?

We gave half to boat we could have had all of it. I spent 6hrs yesterday butchering and vacum sealing up tuna steaks at least 200lbs worth or more. I did keep all of the blue fin he was perfect with lots of fat I should have ran down to the city and sold him. LOL If you get a tuna over 73 inches he belongs to the boat. Sean

got ya

no point.. want to fish stripers get in the car and drive a few hours east
