View Full Version : Loading 7" redfins dannyplug1 10-09-2009, 10:32 PM Was going to load up some of the larger redfins I did it with mineral oil and want to change it to shot pellets. Does anyone out there know what the optimal weight of a loaded redfin is. If anyone out there has the answer in grams( I have a scale that my buddy the police officer grabed for me after its original owner a drug dealer had no use for it in prision) it would be very helpfull.

Give it a try. GeoffT 10-12-2009, 01:58 PM My buddies have them loaded with #8 pellet shots. Devastating action in deeper water and into wind, and lots of fish with them.

He did not like the idea of lead. On my scale 10cc of water is equal to 29 Daisy BB's I have been told that bomber's like 7cc. I used #9 bird shot in mine. The smaller diameter shot seems to slide around better, and make less noise than the .177 BB's. If you want I can try and come up with a volumetric measure for #9 shot. The loaded bombers with 7cc of shot out cast the redfins with 10cc. sean piemma 10-13-2009, 09:09 AM I LOVE this thread. Talk about a throwback! We were loading plugs 30 years ago and it's great to see the next generation following a proven winner! piemma 10-13-2009, 09:17 AM I LOVE this thread. Talk about a throwback!

My dad reloaded when he was alive and I have a bunch of chilled lead shot. How close are you to cohasset? tattoobob 10-13-2009, 06:28 PM Not close at all, I probably won't be coming to the cape again this year Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device The Dad Fisherman 10-14-2009, 05:26 AM Bob, Kittery Trading Post or the Wal-mart in Seabrook maddmatt 10-16-2009, 09:51 AM How does someone get a hold of BB's or shot with no FID card? come into my house around midnight Vogt 10-16-2009, 04:13 PM I messed around with loading the bombers in the early season for fast current fishing. I load the standard 16A or A-Salt with 10-12 Airgun BB's, and found them absolutely deadly. They have a slow sink which is exacly what I wanted. Its too bad they no longer make the old sinking rebels, talk about a deadly fast current plug... If you really want to tinker with these things, try taking an A-Salt bomber and loading the middle chamber with 16 BB's. This greatly dampers the swimming action, and causes the plug to have a fast sink, HOWEVER, it gives the plug a really sweet zig-zag darting style swim. Awesome plug in high spring river flows. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
