    Your not wrong Tim.......how do they mount mate?


    Looks like there's a fair bit of interest in this little experiment.

    Should be a good trip if a few boats go on the same day.....surely someone will catch something.

    Too easy - 2" hole drilled through the gunnel rail then secure with 4x1/4" bolts then secure the safety chain with 2x1/2" bolts to the floor.

    Piece o' piss

    Dunno how I missed this thread before now,
    but I'd like to give all you guys a big thumbs up for having a go at the deep water without having to rush out & buy electric gear because
    its too far to wind up.

    Anyone who knows me knows I have a passion for tackling these deepwater fish on standup gear.
    Rabbi & I live in the same area & basically fish the same (except I have better marks than him,hehehehe)
    He described the gear needed pretty well, with a few changes.
    50lb stick, reliable 6/0 reel, paternostra rig at the bottom about 6ft made with big 3way swivels.
    Hook choice is up to you, but make sure they are very strong, we only use Big Gun, & just because you are chasing big fish doesn't mean you need to use shark hooks, we only use 4/0 & 3/0 as there are other fish out there besides cod.
    Line weight is also up to you, but we only use 30lb braid & have no trouble boating 15 kg cod.
    I dont know how Rabbi can hit the bottom with the sinkers that he described, but we never use less than 2lb sinkers, & these still take nearly 5 mins to hit the bottom.

    Good luck with it , & I hope we can read some good reports soon.

    they either rail mount or deck mount however with abit of notice i could run some stainless wire through my mig and make a tube extension for them so they simply sit in your existing rod holders however they would have to be built in rod holders on an alloy boat or stainless rod holders in a glass boat deffinately wouldnt like to put a deck winch in a plastic rod holder :S

    Don't forget the chain and the big bolts to the floor - he really need them
