  • How to set float balance at home.

    Was going to try and float out a mackerel trace and let the current take it.

    I need to rig up with the 5 hook trace, and find the right weight lead ball to hang off the end.
    Coiled everything up and hung under the float and dunked it in the rain water barrel. got it pretty much spot on first go.

    Just got to tie up nicely with some braided line, set the hooks a couple of feet under water so they glint in the sun lit sea and maybe catch something.

  • Interesting concept, movement is the key to catching mack and this would hang like grubby washing on a soggy Wednesday. Mackerel are mind-buggeringly keen to commit mackicide, but not quite that keen.
