RUBBER WEIGHTS

[TC]

Anybody used these..........

I was given this one by Billy Brown a few years ago.....as you can see, it\'s a bit shrivelled & wrinkly due to lack of use.......BEHAVE ! .....Let\'s not go any further down that road

The idea is that if your weight gets snagged, by pulling hard enough the sand filled rubber bag streches and narrows making it easier to pull it out of the snag.

Sounds good in theory, but I\'ve not tried it in pratice.

I believe they\'re pretty expensive, too.

[Hiram.A.Biff]

Jimmy, remember the hollow weights you could fill with cotton wool soaked in pilchard oil? yu shut them with a rubber band.!!

 

[willywetegg]

Yes I do mate a couple of my mates used them for a while. It was round about the same time as the syringe craze when lots of people tried lots of different oils to inject their baits me included lol.

Jim.

 

[TC]

\".......me included....\"

Personally, I wouldn\'t let anybody use me as bait......especially if they were gonna inject me with oil first !
