What happens if the battery runs out? Might be fun for chasing gobys around the rock pools while your waiting for a bite.

I reckon if enough people got these we'd all give up fishing and go racing

learn to cast it would be cheaper

I could almost bet €1000 that no one can ever cast whole mackerel flapper with 500g sinker as far as it may be transported with this thing

@Tony, great link, thanks for sharing - please post the price here if you will get a reply.

why would you need a 500g lead and you dont use mackerel flappers from the shore and i bet you 1000 yo yo that andrew could

I feel a bet coming on if you can cast a mackerel fillet and a 6oz lead over 150 meters on the next meet you will be 20 euro richer?

with this you could get a big mackerel flapper out more scent, out further, it would work a charm
If you do win the bet you have to give me 5 private lessons

just received an e.mail its 6000 South Africa rand so that's around 610 euro ull have tax and shipping cost on top of that

2 or 3 lads chip in it would be well worth it if you wanted to try for Tope or even Blues off the shore

[dbrock]

its not needed on the east coast tony, great idea but been proved a few times the tope are very reachable from shore

I know where coming from and know they can be caught close to shore,,but would you not think this yoke would not double your chances in hooking up? would you pay half the price on one if someone was buying one?

Picked up some of these in SA (Breezers Fishing Tackle) , tried it out in Kilcoole one stormy day and they work (Well I caught FA but got a big bait out there).

Richard who works there is sound and I reckon ye could buzz him and he would post goods.

He spent some time working and fishing here but was pi**ed off with the lack of Circle Hooks here at the time and the M50 back then

P.S There is a video on You Tube about making your own also

very interesting video kaner, would love to try it. Looks like a great idea

[evan699]

What's the point of those sliders in the video. Is it so you can cast an unbaited trace further and slide the bait down the line then.

[Kaner]

Exactly evan, a 7 or 8 oz gripper , a pendulum cast , bang it out then slide down a full mackeral (or a live bait). When i was talking to him he said that some of the lads even slide down live gummy sharks as bait . Though as some of the lads have pointed out , sometimes the tope are right under your nose. Just thought that i would do the post for occasions when a big bait is needed at distance..
