A little help w a sharkweight

[ofmanyone]

hey fellas, anyone know where to find a #12 sharkweight West of Rochester by Fri Eve. Lost one last wknd on the backside of a 5 footer and it seems that the closest shop with them is in Oswego (one hell of a detour)? Preferrably Black. This may not be the forum for this Q, but it seemed appropriate.

Thanks and tight lines,

I've recently dropped 2 15# sharks, and since there are A-TOM-MIK 15# torpedos as an alternative (for basically half the price) I'm done with sharks. I dont know about the 12's, but the 15s spin and tumble as they go down.

I've never had a shark do that but I have put a couple on the bottom of the lake

Landshark They don't bounce on the cable out of the water to well I know that

[Landshark]

Yup note to self, set auto stop beads so that shark remains in water

You have never watched one go down then, or you let them down SUPER slow. Even Shark will tell you the 15's spin b/c the tail was not large enough. He confirmed it to me in Narby's during the 2008 Pro Am when we were talking about him making a 20lb prototype for us.

I only run 12#ers and I bent the fins out but it has never happaned to me and I drop them full speed

OK, the 12's are fine. It's just the 15's.

Rich, I've never noticed that either. I run the 15 lb chrome shark on my probe rigger and always just pull the lever back and freefall my Scotty riggers without any issue. Interesting.

I think he had them hooked to the tail lol

Very funny. Seriously though they tumble and spin.

Not doubting it, just that I've never noticed.

It definitely happens with some of the 15lbers. I think it was the older ones that spun & tumbled.

[Diversion]

Probably doesn't matter on the probe rigger, since it is below the probe, and nothing it attached near it, as the release is above the probe.

[Billy V]

We used to have an older 15# Shark on our probe rigger and it spun countless times and wrapped line around the cable and cost us quite a few fish (and lures) over the years. This issue hasn't happened once since we switched over to Troll Rite rigger weights.

[Landshark]

It must have been old versions of the sharks is all I'm thinking. I love em, they track great

i never noticed my 15lbers spin while be let down...

[silverseeker]

Have run 2 15lb's on both outdown's, one with subtroll probe and have never noticed spinning or tumbling either Tim. They do wander with strong current's tho but that's my only complaint other than the price.LOL

[troubles]

Atomik 15 lb torpedo's are the way to go.They work good.
