Are those booms one piece 4ft or have the 24" extension? I been thinking about getting a pair of extensions.

Thanks Nuckin Futts! Happy you like em!!!

Don't know if another website or eBay will have em cheaper.

My family had a zipper and shoe repair, custom leather store in Cuse. We know a guy, Pat Reap, out of Syracuse that does marine canvas and upholstery. He makes his way to Sackets to work on boats. He was suppose to meet up with me there to have a look at my canvas and clear side panels, but family issues arose and we missed each other. I can get his contact info when I speak to my mom.

We use 40# fluoro leader, Seagar.

I theorized that they could actually impair quality of hook up, as they soften the strike. Also if the dipsey wasn't released properly, the snubber would wrap around it and then you couldn't get it to pop.

In the end I just thought I was overthinking it, and making it far to complicated, so I ditched them. I didn't see any more snaps/break offs than when I had the snubber, and although I can't prove it, I do think I get better hook up rates (better landing rate).

We don't use snubbers. Haven't lost a fish due to break off, except when their teeth have cut the line at the fly.

Great tips for getting your reel set up by all.

As far as setting up to run your dipsy...

Attach your dipsy to the wire and on the business end, use a snubber on the dipsy to attach your leader to. This will allow for a little stretch during a strike.

*Make sure the length of your leader to lure, fly, etc (hook) is no longer than your rod* (So 10 ft). When you bring in a fish the dipsy will stop at the rod tip. In order to net the fish you can back up and raise your rod.

I have a pair of 625s. Love em. X2 on what henrybud said. Smooth cranks, easy to work the drag.

IMO that's a great price from henrybud for 2 with swivel bases.

You can PM me for any other details or questions on using them.

Dick's rod and reel repair, new paltz, NY 845-255-5874.

40 years experience. Real good guy. Just fixed a reel for me. Showed me a custom steelhead fly rod he had just completed, real nice work.

Got another for ya... Are these for dragging on a drift?

Seems like they'll drag upright along with minimal snags because of the cylinder shape.

Awesome guys, thanks! There's about a dozen... So I'll be throwing them in April and the fall I guess!

Split shot in braided nylon. I cut one open to make sure.

I picked up an old tackle box and found these in a bag.

Each weighs 1oz. A couple had line tied to one end. Any application besides a normal sinker? I'm thinking so it doesn't snag.

Anybody use these for salmon? If so, when (late, early, anytime)? Did a tiny bit of research and mainly striper fishing came up, which is alright because I'm close to the hudson in spring. Just wondering if I can through em on a rigger or other application.

Welcome to LOU. You can post "wanted" in the classified section of LOU. Just a heads up. If you haven't scrolled through that section yet, give it a shot. Lots of stuff for sale, including boats.
