Some new needles, the large are 8 1/2" & weigh between 3 & 3 1/2 oz., I built these for a fast flowing outflow which holds some decent fish but hard to get to them.
The smaller ones are a 6 3/4" wadds weighing 2 1/2oz.
Here is a test version (experimenting w/ weighting)
The silverside could not resist it!
Testing out a single 12 gram weighted mini wadd, this is not the best casting, but it catches, was only a proto, but it has been producing for me since.
