Haha I saw that too, I was in there on monday. I think it said something about the Siuslaw a few weeks ago, that said "good fishing"ya i know better nowadays than to even talk to anyone there... i just go in, get my stuff and get out. I loved the fishing report board the other day it read "umpqua : should be decent" really should be decent? what the hell kind of a report is that? lol

so how come slinky not outstead lead and ...how many people you see using slinky and how many you see using lead....i donno how to explain but sink both things and see which one goes faster...and probably then you can see how profile makes a difference..and lol...slinky won't float...ontop of watr if thats it..but a lighter slinky will defeat the purpose and will just go with the current...leaving your bait on the side along it...well..i really donno how to explain but surface area effects the dynamics of an object..lkead being more condensed..has more density and is more likely to go down faster than a slinky weighing same ( basically of same mass and proportion ).
Thanks
No noise... if your worried about that sort of thing.ya never know? Noise sometimes it could actually provoke a strike???
What about Slinkies? I have been away from the Salmon Steelhead scene for a while but I used to use them quite a bit.
"So, the point I would make is that a slinky which is the same size as a cut piece of lead would be more susceptible to current, but perhaps not a slinky of the same weight."
Well that point is "profile" or the shape..and there's no perhaps in science...either it is or its not
Ok...were all same page there. 5x5. Anytime you take away mass from an object, that object loses weight too. 6th grade Science, Mr. Schulmrich.
really...wow....i never thought that...:lol: man how come the world was able to keep that secret from me..:lol:
The only argument from my end, is that it would not be a significant enough amount to not be in the fish anymore...or, if you take a 1/8 oz pencil lead, and a slinky of the same length and diameter, the only difference in your drift will be 1-2 taps on the rocks...
No ...its not the only difference...where the time factor gonna go...remember what we are talkin here...the time to go down faster because of profile...
On the other hand, I find pencil lead to be stickier, or it kinda grabs some spots in the drift. I find it handy when the flows are high and fast, and I need to slow my junk down, for this reason only.
What if you used the wrong type of material for the sleeve? The other day I was told that some brands of nylon are more buoyant than others.
