Like they say "don't give up your day job" ..... :-)I hate thieves..I add 10' of 80 lb mono to the pot warp. ...then attached a 12" length of weathered 2×4 with a screw eye to it.in one end..I use this set up in high theft areas...the float is hidden any time the tide is running. ..not totally legal but neither is stealing someone's eel pot...if setting at low tide on.pilings set at the low water mark...only you will know the location.

Ordered parts for the 5.5 and making new pots between fishing... I'll get er dun. :-)

Thanks for the info gents
