15lb Torpedo Divers downrigger weights

[DEFIANCE1]

I was in Narby's a couple days ago and noticed that torpedo divers now has a downrigger weight. Has anyone tried these yet? I was going to purchase two more 15lb sharks but I am now thinking about these weights.

Yo - dude - Chromeslayer - tell us more. I have had great luck with Torpedo products, and thought about adding their downrigger weights to my arsenal.

[Chromeslayer]

lots of sway in the weight while it was down.. made a mess of things A-TOM-MIK 15lb torpedos or Sharks for me

[TrophySeeker]

Gotcha. I run 13lb. A-TOM-MIK Torpedos and a 15lb. Shark for my probe rigger. I'll leave well enough alone...

[A-TOM-MIK]

Thanks guys !!!

Just to clarify, our A-TOM-MIK Torpedo 13# and 15.5# weight is an entirely different weight than that of the "Torpedo Diver" trolling weight

Our 13# Torpedo has been proven since the 1980's with next to zero issues ever since, please be sure when you head to your local shop that your asking for the right weight

Very sorry for the inconvenience

Hey Guys,

Just an FYI, These weights run extremely true. My self and Randy Calus ran extensive tests with these against the 15 lb round balls, the shark weights 15lb / 20lb and the pancake weights. The cables ran straighter with less blow back angle and truer in every case. We had Matthew from Torpedo Diver video each case, which he will post next week upon his return from Michigan.

Pound for pound torpedo's will do the job, and do it well. Blow back is less, compared to others. Never had any crossing issuses. They track well and they do n't break the bank.
