crusian Posted June 20, 2018 Report Posted June 20, 2018 Has anyone used these please ? . A couple of times I've tested out my pop up in my ice cream tub to see how it sits and the hook appeared to have " collapsed " rather than sitting up " cocked " as it were . As the margins in my lake are no longer Winter clear I can't have a stab at recreating how my rig would enter the water , as when I'm testing my rig in my ice cream tub I'm just lowering the rig down . I would hate to think that there is a chance that the hook is jamming ( ? ) in the hook ring swivel while I'm sitting there thinking my pop up is beautifully poised to snare a passing carp . 😀 Quote

yonny Posted June 20, 2018 Report Posted June 20, 2018 Is it not just that your pop ups ain't buoyant enough @crusian? Quote

Expand If I can recreate the problem I will indeed take a 'photo , but it's probably going to be like that mysterious noise you get with your car that disappears as soon as you get to the garage ! .

Expand When I plonk my rig into my ice cream tub with a bit of force that seems to sort the problem out , which makes me want to believe that when cast out the rig would hit the water and settle on the lake bed sitting up nicely .

cyborx Posted June 21, 2018 Report Posted June 21, 2018 you would think that if the Gyro needs shrink tube then it would be fitted during manufacture? bit of a numpty moment there by Nash. (imo) Quote

crusian Posted June 24, 2018 Author Report Posted June 24, 2018 On 22/06/2018 at 16:01, framey said: HOW MUCH !!!! Expand Yes you're right Framey . The thing is I thought the Gyro Hook would mean I could dispense with the Quick Change Uni-Link and the Shrink Tube ( I hadn't seen the video clip until Nige kindly posted the link - there was no mention of Shrink Tube on the blurb for the hook ) . But when I received the packet of Gyros in the post you only get 5 hooks per packet , therefore 10 hooks is going to cost you £15.98 compared to say £3.90 for 10 x ESP Cryogen Hooks plus £4.29 for 10x Quick Change Uni- Link . So I'll give the Gyros a miss , but I may try the Tungsten Swivel Beads in large to tidy things up / stop me fiddling around with Putty - assuming the Beads come in to stock . 😊 cyborx 1 Quote
