G'Day Gang,Can I have some input from the offshore fisho's re the pro's/con's of coloured/lumo (same?)sinkers when offshore floatlining,I have used beads & rubber tubing but more as a sinker stopper than a attraction.Cheers T.><> ><> ><>.

Lumo sinkers...........I thought the post was about Lumo Stinkers. ???
Anyway, The Bugmiester swears by them and he's produced good fish using them.
I prefer the tubing............and Green is THE colour.

A lot of offshore do use lumo sinkers. Ross McCubbin who runs offshore charters from the Gold Coast uses them successfully for Jewies/Snapper.
I know of one angler who purchased $300 of lumo sinkers for a Straddie Classic a few years back. This guy was no slouch either when it comes to offshore and is always in with the prizewinners.
I think Doug Burt's Tackleworld still carries a range of them??

Apparently remove do chew well...
you can buy glow pigment and you could put some glue on the sinkers, dip them in the pigment then spray a coat of clear, not sure how long it will last but worth a try. Tubing might be easier!

I use them & they seem to go ok. My only issue was you have 6 rolling around in a compartment in your tackle box, & I ended up with a pile of green/yellow pigment & 6 bald sinkers!!

So does the sinker sit right above the bait as an added attractant for this style of fishing?
Same as red tubing attracts Whiting I guess?

Yes I float line in 90-100m down the godly. some days 1 ounce gets there other's you need a 3 ounce I have found it tends to get a better initial run better chance of hooking up I suppose and bottom basihing I recon it takes the focus of the puckers long enough for a better fish to see the bait

Yes I do super glow white egg sinkers for float lining. Have many happy regular customers.
The sinkers are powder coated, baked in the oven and coated with rod binding clear two pack.
