Its-grim-up-north Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I apologise if there’s a thread on this guys but I was wondering if anyone’s gave one of these a try and how they faired with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spr1985 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I bought one recently unfortunately haven’t had chance to give it a go yet so can’t comment on usability, although looking at instructions seems very simple to use and I think will do the job it’s designed to, hopefully getting out tomorrow after a nightshift so may give it a go and report back 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muftyboy Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Great bit of kit. Keeps the birds off your hookbait as they spook from line hanging down. Also sets the hook really well. Haven't used one for a few years to be honest( don't know why). spr1985 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muftyboy Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 They look quite easy to make as well to be honest. Think I'll have to get one myself now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yonny Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 They look awful to cast don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 They can be temperamental. You may need to 'grease' up the stem to stop it 'sticking' to the water. Mind you, casting an adjustable zig rig can be awkward to cast, but definitely less so than an 8 foot hooklink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
