Sitting in the Man Cave in the depths of winter with 40 knots outside, mulling over the cost of things, we came up with this idea.
We fish soft-plastic lures; the Jigstar heads with the free-swinging hooks have been really good for us, but we’ve been frustrated by them not coming in lighter weights when fishing the shallows.
Then, upon looking at a box full of round sinkers from the dark old days of straylining, we got a brainwave.
Start by drilling out the sinker while it’s held in a vice. Next, cut a slot in the side through to the hole with a hack saw, take it out of the vice, clip the worm hook onto a Genie Clip and insert it into the slot. Place the whole thing on a firm surface and smack it with a hammer. Bewdy!
They work a treat and cost bugger all.
