Pedro
I modified a Wheel Brace so the rope doesnt wear away the paint on boat.
I also added a few swivels and a bit of plumbers conduit tie strapped inside the bag-This makes it spin when you are pulling it at about 10 knots

Denis, you are da man.

Before I get carried away. Great catch, well done. And they look nice and clean crisp fish too.

Very ingenious with that bracket, very crafty and clever. I take it that you fish alone as it seems to be for a driver operator. Nice to see that you have heavy rope for your scaling bag too.

That conduit is very smart too, and yes it would allow it to roll/spin and get the job done faster and better. They do have Tumbler Scaling bags but hey, making one yourself saves $$$$ and the sense of achievement that you've made it yourself. Well done.

I have the same type of swivel on my scaling rope. I like to splice my rope ends (for bollards etc) , , , , I might not be good at catching but I like looking "nautical" to fit the scene.

Denis, I've said before, "You keep that up, I might start liking you". well, I've started :thumbsup:

Cheers, Bugatti
