Cannylinks, one piece rotten bottom/baitclip.

#1 Post by Cannylad »

Hi Lads.

I make these babies, Thayre a one piece baitclip, rotten bottom link and in my humble opinion, they really are as good as I say they are.
but dont just take my word for it, look here.

They work every time, use them on bomber rigs, or pulleys. They will stand a full pendulum cast without giving. when the lot hits the water, the link releases the lead, and the hook falls away, leaving everything free.
Theyre £2.99 for 15 plus 40p pnp, or 60 for £10 post free, share them if your a club member. You may think that is expensive, but youd pay 15p for a bait clip, and the same for a weak link thats more complicated, and I make them one at a time with a hand tool.

email e if you want any, paulnufc@msn.com

heres how they work.

hows it going. was looking at the video there, seems a really good simple idea, just wondering what happens when you pull the end of the clop with the lead. couldnt really make it out from the video,

You put the clip through the loop, and pull hard, theres a snap (pop) and the link snaps onto the loop. That explain it mate?

I accept your opinion, and Im grateful for it, but ask yourself this, if you used a Gemini rotter, and a baitclip, together, how much would that cost you? and theyre then two seperate units, also take into consideration that I make each one seperatley with a hand tool, I think they are a fair price. Why not do as some do, buy 60 for a tenner (Euro equivalent 14 euros??) and share them with your mates.
