it looks good

just one question how do you clip the egg float to your circular part of your hook ??

i have never seen these egg floats in cape town tackle shops.

I reckon any round float will work. The red, orange and blue ones will look the best in my opinion.

Saw an article in Rising Tide where Seemonster made the same type of baitholders.

Only difference is he has the wire form a clip at the bottom of the foam/float where you can clip your sinker.

Ek koop dit by Mias in Benoni.Rondes of eiervormig en verskillende grotes.Dit is polystyrene(spelling)

 

[jannie]

Vat sommer 'n kurk prop of daai ronde foam tipe, shape soos jy dit wil he en gebruik dan American Fishing Wire nr 17 as ek reg onthou, druk deur en maak loops soos benodig en daar gaan jy.

Actually loads of stuff you can use. High density foam, surfboard foam, pool noodle, cork, haircurlers, tile spacers, table tennis balls,est.

Hi guys remember to tie the hook using a snell knot i used a cork that i shaped into a egg shape and used p-wire to hold it and coloured the float red.

 

[psion]

Would like to see how this is rigged with a bait

 

[jules33]

mustbite

you said that you couloured the float red ,did you paint it or spray it red if so what type of colouring did you use

I just afraid if you use any colour it might just ( cent ) go into your bait chasing fish away.

Hi sorry for the late post i made the float red with a red permanent marker will send a pic of how it looks with the bait on my friend tried it in the gamtoes river got spooled and very sore arms.

 

[Mahi mahi]

just a quick question, dont you think leaving the feelers on the hook side of the bait would work better as the float will be floating above the hook meaning that the tentacles will then hang over the hook, if the other way around the tentacles will drop down over the blob of bait

 

[PowerCaster]

Velcro foam and a circle

Do u mind posting a pic rigged with bait and line?
