Evening,
bought meself a packet of the MS0 and MS1 from WAFT in Boksburg. R15 and R16 respectively for 8 sinkers per pack. Expensive yes, but wait......thats not all (sounds Glomail enough?)
The plastic pipes costs R23 for 20!! And you dont get them in smaller quantities!
The concept sounds great, but while making 8 traces, I was thinking.
This process only decreases the amount of traces you need. Say you usually had ten M0, ten M1's and ten M1.5's. Then with this concept, you only have to make 10 traces and have the same amount of the various weights available to interchange.
Yeah, its quick to interchange the weight once the trace is out of the water, but if you already load a 2nd trace BEFORE you take the first one out of the water, then its also a matter of removing the trace by unclipping the clip-on swivel.
My opinion, but I'm listening to other opinions.

Guys, I myself never have more that 10 traces in my box. I do however keep a few extra hooklinks which I can use for any trace needed on the day. But I normalle have 8 M1 rietvlie sliding and 2 M1.5 or M2 rietvlei sliding traces. Some venues where I know I might loose traces I would prep differently, but the Vaal has been nice to me so far.

Daai is piekfyn. Ek is net so lui waneer dit by klubkomps kom. Maar vir 'n liga het ek twee keer soveel stroppe byderhand en vir Nationals bou ek gewoonlik so 30 van elk (M0, M1 en M1.5). En dan na elke dag se hengel, bou ek nuwes in die plek van die stroppe wat ek vir die dag gebruik het. So ek het altyd 30 van elk beskikbaar.
AS jy die interchangeable sinkers gaan gebruik, dan kan jy so te se net 30 stroppe bou en 30 van elke sinker groote byderhand hou. Wat 'n pluspunt is. Jy sal elke sinker voor die tyd moet meet en oop/toe buig om oor die pypie te pas, sodat jy nie tyd mors langs die water nie.

the biggest drawback for me is the price of the sinkers and then you have to buy the piping in a seperate packet. The traces are light yes, but you still have to have a set number of weights in your box to interchange them. So there are pro's and cons to the use of these sinkers.
I am not slamming or advocating anything here. This is just MY opinion.
I will be using the traces with these sinkers this weekend and give feedback of what my experience is with them.

Dis nog steeds verban. Ek het daai selfde gedagte gehad. As die sinker nie so styf in daai pypie pas nie en in jou haas vat jy een, sit hom op en sit 'n bol oor. Met die impak in die water skuif daai sinker op en weg is hy.
Bargain ne? Maar nou stap 'n beampte verby en volgens die nuwe "nuwe" SAVOF reels (en die voriges), mag hy/sy jou vra om jou bol oop te breek vir inspeksie. En as daai sinker los is, dan is die duiwel ook los!!

Ligas is n ander saak en ek gebruik nie my hoeke vir meer as een komp nie. Stroppe sal ek gewoonlik net weer met n social sessie gebruik maar ook nie te lank na die komp nie. Sal nog n paar jaar wees voor ek gaan proef, maar dan wil ek gereed wees vir als!
