First time for everything - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

TJones · 03-12-2015, 08:19 PM

Ordered weights online . Asked for torpedos and the bastard sends me these. Some sort of hybrid of a pyramid and a torpedo . What do you think ? He is giving me delay on return . Probably get hung in kelp and rocks .

Lmao def looks like a torpedo haha!!

YakDout · 03-12-2015, 08:22 PM

I definitely wouldn't want any of those edges with fishing heavy weight. I believe you're thinking is correct on getting hung up under rocks more.

YakDout · 03-12-2015, 08:23 PM

Damn you got me good if this is a joke ! lol. And is that a Zero ounce?

Why the heck would you order lead online? Lol. Man support your local shop and you wouldn't get screwed.

So paying more as opposed to paying less is ok?

You get what you pay for. Also a lot of local tackle shops barely make it out there. If you build relationships with your local tackle shop you wouldn't pay that much more. For example. I would much rather buy my gear from Bob Sands in van nuys than some stranger on the Internet.

TJones · 03-13-2015, 04:17 PM

To bob sands also , but I'm tired of getting reamend .

. Maybe I'm exaggerating ? How much is a 10 opz ? I Thought it was near the $3.00 dollar range ? The guy that sold me the weights contacted me yesterday . Keep my fingers crossed. Full exchange for correct product plus extras . If this goes as planned , I will be good for a couple years , hopefully .

. The guy said he was out of town , took a month to receive the product and his helper sent me these accidentally .

. He says they work great in surf , better than the traditional pyramids . I was trying to get a crap load of weights at a fair price . Instead, all I got was crap . I was hoping I could throw a bag of weights in tackle box and not have to worry about it till end of season . Some of the local shops ream the crap outta you . Close to $3.00 bucks ?

T-Rex · 03-12-2015, 08:56 PM

They do look like they'd work great for surf fishing, but from a kayak....crap!

Squidco will usually give you 10% off when you buy more than a dozen. I bought a few dozen torpedo's of different weight there the last couple years in a row.

Aznronin · 03-13-2015, 04:44 PM
