mark poulson 2,562 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Man, they look great. Brilliant idea. Are you attaching hooks or ballast, or are they just attractors? They seem like the perfect variable sink lures, depending on how much water you add, once you've got your hook and ballast attached. Quote Link to comment
hazmail 203 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Mark - Yes sinking/floating and in between. Hang it on a horizontal fishing line, add some small split shot (best is a couple of 3mm shot gun pellets) through the front hole and sit them in epoxy (use ETex not D2T) where the bottom centre is (the balls will roll to centre), this is enough to keep them stable, if not there are a few other tricks. Just use a bead, split ring, and treble hook on the back, and a rubber 'line stopper' at the front so the line does not fall through. pete Quote Link to comment
mark poulson 2,562 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Thanks Pete. I can see that's going to be one of my next projects. I saw the dark "shadow" on one of the lures in the group, and figured you'd done some kind of ballast thing. Why do you say to not use D2T? Quote Link to comment
fatfingers 90 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Those little buggers look like they'd be good for steelhead fishing, Pete. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment
Sonny.Barile 24 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share I am going to guess that D2T goes thermal..............so it would melt the float material? Is that the reason? Quote Link to comment
