Go get some railroad ties.. 8oz pyramids are spendy!
He meant railroad spikes. Much, much cheaper, I think they weigh about 10-12oz (??), and a lot more environmentally friendly than covering the bottom of the river with lead, which I always try to avoid (not passing judgement on anyone slinging lead, I just choose to do what I can).
how do you go about tying them on? cuz we could get a bucket or two and be set for the season. maybe even plasma cut a little chunk off to get down to the 8-10oz range
i would also like to check out dahl park. ive heard the springers like to hold there a lil better when the willy is high and muddy, looking for cleaner water. idk if its true but its always a thought
by any old railroad tracks. i often use them with zip ties on the bottom of my crab trap for added weight if the current is ripping. but i think that welding a wire loop sounds good. it might be hard to tie a knot to a washer. but then again i guess it depends on the washer.
You just make a loop out of mono and attach it like we did today.
It's not too hard. You use a typical sturgeon rig, (slider or 3-way swivel) and use anywhere from 6-10lb line depending on how hard and far you are casting and then just wrap and tie the spike to that leader. You can wrap as many times and tie whatever know you want as long as there is just the one single strand of line from the swivel to the spike. Tie off right at the bottom of the head and you'll be fine. I grew up using them on the Chehalis river for sturgeon. The spike should break off most of the time just on the hookset. Hope that helps
