Sometimes it can be a wild ride on the bog and you need 2 hands to hang on😁
Surfing Bream Master on the job just got a whole lot easier. I cut my groove on a 22 degree angle |

The new fake Zman sand worms arrived - very impressed with strength, flexibility and best of all, the tail wiggle on the pause

Heres the white one swimming bait fish style

While I wasnt too concerned about the reddies smashing the worms - (They did smash them)
But I figured they needed a tougher test Turns out the bream dont mind them either |

As my new worms are made from the same stuff as Zmans and Im not using jig heads designed for Zmans - they can benefit from a dab of super glue to hold them in place.
And while I had the glue out, I figured Id put some eyes On the heavier heads I planned to retrieve like bait fish. One benefit I hadnt thought of is they act like stabilising arms when the lure is paused on the bottom - hope fully the hook point will ride up more often |

New Kayak anchor with break away Zip tie - even this little fella go over 25kg of pull and didnt snap - i might have to go thinner
Going to attach it to a retractable dog lead |

and my nose cone expander slipped - so thats been sorted

glad I tested the break away strength of the zip ties -
On a straight pull, the original ones I tried were getting to over 30kg and still not snapping. Thats too much for me and my tiny yak. The smallest zipties I have break at around 10kg - so I'll use those |

Nose cone works a treat!
And I just opened the leash to see how it ticks and apply a liberal coating of Innox to all metal parts. Yeah theres no stainless in mine�� They are basically a plastic drum - with a wound up, thin flat steel coil, to retrieve the line. Like a tape measure If you could store it vertically and drill seepage holes to let the water out - the drum could shed the water without touching the metal parts. But if you laid it on its side and the water pooled and could access the base of the flat spring - I imagine saltwater would eat it pretty quick but one full dunking in salt would probably end the fun - thats why its good to have a plan B�� Last edited by yellow door 1; 16-04-2023 at 08:36 PM. |

Hypothetically - this discovery may have its uses out in the field😉 - I wasnt expecting this to go so well

If you are going to use zipties as the weak link - just make sure they are a "Weak Link"😉
I originally went with the thicker red one in the middle - that was the one holding on passed 30kg - the short red ones are the ones that break at around 10kg - Id be scared to think what it would take to break the black one |

Well that was fun while it lasted.
I was always going to measure this Kayaks worth, in hours of fun versus cost price - so at 12 hours for $80 - thats $6.66 an hour until my first puncture. But all is not lost - the real reason I bought the gorilla glue was Kayak repair - and within a day of the glues purchase I get a hole. After seeing how well it worked on wood and cement - I've got high hopes for another 12 hours😉 |
