Maybe she'll sink faster....

Well I found some old cast net weights I had saved and zipped tied them to every other weight on my good net. Boy is she heavier, now I wonder if it will spread correctly. We'll see...

Time to tester out!!

I had a net that I doubled the weight on. It pancaked perfect with the extra weight. It also wore me out and when I shredded it on the Jetty at Port A I swore I'd never do it again lol. How much hand line are you adding to the net?

Yup... gonna hit a spot I have been eyeballing... I will let ya know

Man , that looks like its going to be a good workout,lol but it should sink way faster, it should also spread correctly with some practice

Didn't think bout that Bob. .. how much should I?

More than the depth you're throwing plus a little extra for the boat drifting.

Looks good Rick. I add 20 ft of line normally, but in the winter I will add 40 ft of rope so you end up with 65 ft total. Like Bob said, you have to account for the boat drifting.

Your shoulders are going to love you for this.

I thought of doing the same thing with one of my nets. I was just going to tie them on with fishing line. Zip ties are a much better idea though.

Yea I know they would hurt as it is so I gotta try to find em thick so I only throw once or twice. I started tying them with twine then I said... zip ties! Easier n quicker!

should work good.

Spin the locks on the zip ties to the inside of your weights before you throw it. Should work good!

Ok... well possibly tomorrow I will get to try er out.... will post results.

Let us know how it goes! Don't tear a muscle!

Well guys didnt make it out to try it so I chunk it in the pool a couple times and sunk instantly. It spreaded nicely but it did take a toll on me after bout a dozen throws. So hopefully I hit em hard within a couple throws.

Glad to hear it worked Rick, just give it a couple of shots every now and then in the pool til you get used to it.

Thats gonna wear you out! But glad it worked

1+

Might have just made it better, try it!
