I remember reading about this device in one of the mags not too long ago and thinking that some people have too much time on their hands. But now I see it has gone into commercial production.

Would love to see what would happen if your forgot to open the bail arm of your reel. Could be a big seller in the tackle shops in Limerick.

Just think what would happen to your rod and reel if you get a wind knot that catches the first guide :shock: :lol: :shock:

Would be a great spectator sport.

Also as mentioned one poubd weights then have to be wound back in , hopefully not getting snagged :oops:

These are band in Australia as they are considered a weapon by the authorities :wink:

1 lb weight ? come on lads get reel four or five retreives and you would need a day off work to recover not to mention carrying an extre 12 lbs onto the beach every trip , just too much weight involved ,if i was that desperate to get out 300 yards i think a boat would less hassle :shock:

I had a look at the video :shock: . Why dont they show you what happens to the baitcaster when it goes off,surely theres recoil :? . Would be easier to get scuba equipment and a harpoon gun and go after the fish that way :roll: I have enough to contend with in setting up the rod on its own,,,,,,, and what if you stepped in a loop in the line :roll: ,,,,,,,,,,helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllppppp!!!!!!

Shame on you Gearoid slagging off Limerick!! :shock: :shock:

My first comment was meerly in relation to the poor casting ability of Limerick anglers and nothing to do with its use as a WOMD. :)
