one h--l of a workshop norm wish i had. any how back to the pirks,treble on heavy end for me,and if fishing over ground an extra treble on the light end,attached by about 3 inches of mono

Thanks for all the comments folks, Jim, good idea about the line and treble hook up but I seem to get that now on Norweigans rigged the normal way. I think (Newton, gravity and all that) that since the pirk is all of one material and same density each end that it wouldnt show any tendancies to drop one way or another , other than via aerodynamical shape. What we need is a big tank we can throw them in and watch ..... do you think they'd let us borrow "The Deep" at Hull?

hmmm thinking ...... maybe on the head end if theres a bit of wood skewered onto the loop prior to casting then that would give it slight bouyancy (less dense) at that end and cause it to drop treble first (treble on tail) just a thought.
Haha much more of this and they'll be floats ....


(Rich, and a mini mill bottom left ... ..... but the car gets awfully wet at nights )

cheers

the run in ....

the run in ....

No frills, no faces and no catch pictures,
just an un-edited vid of the run in from 6 mile out against a 15mph westerly wind .....................

bear in mind the only portal to the outside world for the run in was the area wiped by the windscreen wiper

YouTube - big sea.mpg

haha looking back I think it was every bit as good as it looks
