Not positive but think I've heard of some shad shooters replacing barbs wit weed eater line....makes fish removal extremely fast I suppose.

 

[wbeadlescomb]

You can shoot pretty decent sized gar with them too

I know nothing, nothing.

If they're using it with any luck then they're using some that's a lot more durable than the stuff I tried. Two or three fish and it was time for new a new piece of weedwhacker line.

Learn something new every day .

 

[let loose]

its used on numbers shoots and it does work just have to leave about 4 inches hanging out each side of the tip. just get the thickest that will still pull through the hole in whatever tip your using...ive had the best luck using muzzy tips though

I'm thinking about trying some cable to see how well that goes. Might go over like a fart in a space suit but nothing ventured nothing gained.

 

[wbeadlescomb]

Y'all boys stick around you might learn something

Lol.. Just use a sureshot.. They lose fish too!

Someone got a pic of this?

ya I think I stick to my "slinging the fish into the bucket and ripping the tip out method"..... The weedwhacker line may work on shad and smaller carp, but Id be pissed to lose a big fish cause I had whacker line instead of steel barbs....:headbang:

Ha ha...no i'm talking about the line on the arrow that the swivel runs on. That's all we ever used. I'm just getting back into it. Maybe nobody does it that way anymore? I dont know. We never had any problems with it and we killed lots of 30 pounders.

Nearly everyone uses safety slides or rings now. I use to make my cable slides out of 200# dacron and a trotline swivel because it was lots cheaper and actually even worked better than store bought.

Thread makes sense now!!! :drunk: lol........ I tie to the back of the arrow so its not a concern to me....
