this advice gets better and better steve whats the price of leads from i.d fishing mate and what do i take on to the boat my tackle box or a ruck sack with my gear in ? i really aint got a clue lads cheers for the help so far

 

[Charlie_Thompson]

Tackle box - it may **** the skipper off but at least you got somewhere to sit down yourself and a fish filleting platform on the way back.

 

[cocomonkey19k]

ok might knock that one on the head as i dont wanna **** the skipper off on my first trip (have you seen what pirates do) i aint walking no plank lol

just need a rough price on weights

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

I use a rucksack type thing mate ,and boat weights ,well I buy mine from sinkermanallen a NESA member and purveyor of well priced things made of lead ,tackle shops are dear 80p or so a shot from memory ,but as Norman says if you don't lose them then you can use them next time,.

 

[Charlie_Thompson]

Take the box m8 only kidding - take plenty weights probably nearly a pound a pop for 12 - 16 0z 10-15 should do. Easiest way to save on tackle is just to let it down about 3 foot (whatch for the prop) and leave it there. You may get a sunfish or portuguese man o war. You'll allus get the lead back though.

 

[gazzawill]

as steve sugested sinkerman allan he does all sorts of weights / lead heads ect
i my self will be selling lead weights this year but for shore work gripaway leads

around the 30/40 p each mark depending on cost of things i need
so keep me in mind lol
and main thing is when on the boat enjoy yourself

 

[cocomonkey19k]

right so all in all i need about 15 weights maybe 20 some warm and waterproof clothing (riggerboots as dont like wellys) about 20 rigs also not to forget rod and reel that would be a laugh and ill keep you inmind for them weights mate (is the lead just normal lead as ive got a couple of rolls under the stairs i think i'd have a go at making my own for timebeing

take some bait too - Rag or squid - you can catch the macky fresh

 

[cocomonkey19k]

my rod and reel turned up today and im really pleased with them only thing is im not very good with multipliers lol as i normally use a fixed spool reel other thing is it clicks constant when im reeling in is it meant to do this as my other one doesnt (bought 2 of the same reels) both make the same noise and it aint the drag thing lol anyone shed some light on this please

 

[mick dunn]

The ratchet on the side must be switched on. Its a sort of bite indicater. Should be a sliding type switch which goes backwards and forwards.When the spool turns in makes a noise.

My abu 7000 has one which i have never used.

[cocomonkey19k]

tried that mate that makes the noise louder lol it dont make a noice when going out just coming in but maybe its meant to do this im not sure lol

 

[gazzawill]

as in rolled lead do tou meen flashing used for consevetry/porch roof lines ect if its sticky backed nope it will catch fire lol

 

[cocomonkey19k]

well lads i bought a mould from i.d fishing only 8oz i made 50 8oz weights and im gonna make a load of 12oz when my other mould turns up (ordered online from jims of cornwell) and the lead was for roofing but it works anyway lol

scotty

 

[cocomonkey19k]

[The Great Wallsendo]
