Lead lifter - DIY

[hrogers]

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

Looks impressive but how would one use it?

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
