Ratmanwan 66 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hi chaps, got a cod trip booked out of Whitby next week over to Norway and need to make some perks, got some shiny ally bar that I'm going to fill with lead. How long do they need to be and do you hammer the ends flat or saw them off at on angle ? Also what size hooks ? Any other advice you can give greatly accepted ! Quote Link to post
robbo 802 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 It depends on the diameter of the tube as to how long they will need to be. we used to get tube that was roughly 20mm -25mm. this was cut into lengths of about eight inches. we used to cut them on an angle[about 45 degrees]then you dont have to bash the ends flat to drill them for the split ring. try making one at about 8 inches, weigh it, if its too heavy shorten it till you find the weight your after[we used to make them 16-20 oz] for whitby, Or longer if they arent heavy enough. as for hook size, massive trebles cod have gobs like coal buckets, Hope this helps,Bry 1 Quote Link to post
