Ok dont know how many know this one, probably heaps but this is for those people that dont. while talking to my garndfather (the guru of fishing) he told me of something they used to do for getting your bait out further beyond the waves when surf fishing.but doing this without adding too much weight so as you can't feel the bites.what he did was get one of those practice golf balls you know the ones with all the holes in them nothing in side made of plastic, well what they did was thred your fishing line through the ball then attatch up your line as you would do normally, with the swivel,sinkers,hooks,ect,ect.then push the ball through the sand,twisting it around till it is completely full of sand.now you have a heavy weight on your line that when casted into the water will travel heaps further then just sinkers. when it hits the water the sand will disolve (so to speak) straight out out the holes that they entered into.now the ball will act as a float and float back to the top of the water out of the way of all the action!!! so tell me do you like that one???? i was really impressed.
p.s i think you can get these balls from crazy clarks for stuff all. i think they are classed as a kids practice golf ball!!!
hope you all can use this idea will post any more i get told..........
