question about canal special pencils
Other than the flat belly, is there anything else different about a canal special? Are they weighted any different or is all the lead still in the tail ?

Personally, I put all the weight in the tails and flatten the bottom. Other than that, nothing else real special

Bob,
I know the current will help hold them up and thats why the bottom is flat. How low should they sit in the water at rest, are they still floaters?

I found one that had been broken off or stolen by seals last Summer. They don't float, but are bouyant enough to "hop" along the bottom at about a 45degree angle. Maybe steeper. The bottom hook was nearly worn through but the wire looked pristine. Check out the wear pattern..

I find they work best when the nose just sticks out of the water
vertically..That 3 1/8 model Gibbs is tough to beat..
I like em without the current also i don't even fish a round bottom pencil..

I'm sure that is one of Mikey's lost to a seal. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
