Title: Lead lifter - DIY
Post by: hrogers on April 26, 2015, 04:50:34 PM

Here is a DIY lead lifter. I test it in the fish pond and it's working -
I used a junk mail plastic card that I received in the post, I was sucking on a lollipop and notice that the handle is from plastic and it was hollow, that give me and idea to try and make the lead lifter.
2 small tie straps to tie down the center and here is the end results

The lead lifter help to lift the sinker when reeling in - ideal where rocks are - Works similar as a kite.
You clip the lead lifter on to the sinker
