crusian Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ! . 2 hours ago, yonny said: Is it not just that your pop ups ain't buoyant enough @crusian? 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 . 1 hour ago, nigewoodcock said: Aah , I did wander if I should add some shrink tube to cover where the hook eye joins the swivel eye . Thank very much fellas . 😀 yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyborx Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusian Posted June 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 On 22/06/2018 at 17:01, framey said: HOW MUCH !!!! 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
