Can't believe it.. Decided to buy a new bomb and release clip for my new downrigger.
Went to Rays outdoors who sell fishing gear, no luck there so went onto BFC which is a huge store with thousands of rods reels lures and whatever you could ever want for fishing, walked around the fishing section for 15 minutes or so, up and down each isle thinking I just haven't been looking hard enough, and didn't see a Release clip OR a downrigger bomb. All this time not one person approached me and asked me if I needed any assistance, finally seen a guy who I figured worked there and should be able to steer me to where they kept the downriggers and accessories. Asked him did they sell downrigger bombs and release clips. He stared at me like I was some sort of alian being. I turned around and walked out. Drove onto Complete Angler, I wanted a 4 lb bomb but had to settle for a 3 lb one, should do the job, looked everywhere for release clip and couldn't see any, asked the guy behind the counter and alas all sold out. Will have to modify my old one to do the job, as it has double line hold for the secondary clip from my old rigger, don't know what happened to my bottom release clip. Anyhow going to try it out from Wednesday up at Lake StClair. -------------------- Frank

Told ewe it was a bad mistake replacing The Nimrod 2000 How many release clips do you want frank ??? Really think the 3lb is a bit light Jumpy. It's OK mate, have adapted my old clip to suit. Wanted 4lb but will have to settle for the 3lb, I will only be trolling at around 1.2 miles per hour or roughtly 2 k's per hour so the lighter ball shouldn't lift too much, if it does I will put my old 6lb ball on, the 10lb will be way too heavy for the shallow fresh water application. Also when I get back I will replace the wire with braid, don't like the wire as it humms too much in deeper water, + there is only 100 feet of wire and if I use this thing instead of my old faithful, in the salt I could be rigging upto as much as 60 metres deep, so will load the reel with braid. But not for this trip. This post has been edited by nimrod: Mar 27 2011, 06:51 PM -------------------- Frank
