Finding things such as bloodworms instantly came to mind when I saw it. Its expensive though, wouldn't want snag up on something, or it crack off on the cast and lose one. cloud9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtrev Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 im sure someone can do the same with a sweetcorn can. Cast out let it sink, the quickly lift the rod tip and wind in like mad. What does it tell us ? the ground in front is silty and muddy or weedy and gravelly. The same as a lead already tells us but with out digging out little scoops of lake bed. Do they do one in green? I'll have two. kevtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekskii Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Surely this wouldnt work on hard bottoms, you'd see if there was a layer of silt on top of it but if you cast it on to a gravel area, not much gravel, if any would end up in there, just the substrate below it.

cloud9 Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Don't think it's really for hard gravel , think it's really to help finding what silt your fishing over whether it's the good stuff or the smelly horrible one , I would like to see someone cast a old sweetcorn can out and get the same result ..... don't think I will bother getting one but I can see why some would....

TnCarper Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 It weighs 150 grams if I recall, so it should cast like a rocket. But if you use it in water with alot of snags, the chances of having it lost is too great. And its extremely expensive, around 32£/$45 I think. cloud9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
