Burley Pots for Boats
Posted: Wed May 22, 2019 1:37 am
Thought I'd start a thread on Burley Pots for Boats. What is everyone using to get the scented message out to all those fish out there ????
Firstly, I have my Burley pot rope on a large hand-line spool, it makes the rope easier to use.
I use a variety of Pots & methods. The simplest thing I use is a Scaling Bag for fish frames/bits.
Also I have made some PVC ones out of fixings & tube
And for that little bit more durable and open meshed , , , , some stainless steel ones. Note, in the square one, there is a lead ring hoop. This I made (and similar for the PVC Burley Pots) I made by cutting two different sized tin cans in half and nailing the halves together on a piece of wood, with the smaller diameter can inside the larger one. Then poured molten lead in the ring hoop gap. Careful as you need to pry the cans off the lead with a pair of pliers.
So, just wondering what everyone else is doing to get the berley out and the fish in
