Re: down rigger finished
Snappa. where did you get that bomb for 13 bucks?
They look like they will do the job but they might need a lanyard on em to make sure they don't go over.
Like I said the wire can cost but let us know how you get on I am still to get some.
Cheers Kev.

Yes Snappa, which tackle shop was that, $13 sounds very reasonable

To: Reel Hard - I got my stainless wire from Bridge & Co at Burleigh, 30 metres of 1.2mm 100kg+ 7by7 strand for $19.50...a bargain?

Re: down rigger finished
To Snappa; If you can get that 10lb bomb for 13 bucks I will give you 23 so you can buy yourself a beer.
I picked up 100 mtrs of 1mm 135lb 7 wire superflex for 40 bucks so I will be happy with that if it does the trick.
Looking at making the beer can bomb this week end, cause I have my reservations on spending nearly 50 bucks on a hunk of lead.
I went to sims metal today and picked up 35kg of lead for 50 bucks and that will make a bucket of snappa leads.(punn intended.) as well as a couple of bombs.
Cheers Kev.

Re: down rigger finished
hey snappa
this is a pic of my first dr.its made from an old deck winch.all gal water pipe and an old pulley that was hiding in the shed.only thing to watch with winches is make sure they either have a drag that works to allow for you getting the bomb jammed on the reef,or if you dont have a drag system secure the winch handle with something that breaks before your dr cable does (like tie the handle off with a loop of 50lb mono}once the bomb is at desired depth.
anyway this old girl got me started using em.its been retired for a few years now but still gets the odd boat ride cause i keep my crab pot ropes on it.
