I was just messing about while paddling out to the pipe so I hung a jig off the bottom instead of a weight but it wasn't heavy enough and with the resistance of the rod and the light jig it trailed almost straight out behind the kayak. I think it would have worked okay in the bay rigged like that but in open water a heavier weight is needed. I like the carbon fiber rod though, the leader goes right through it and I epoxied the beads on to hold the swivels in place. Hanging straight down the hooks don't get tangled.

Nice work. Sounds exactly like my prototype version 1.0. You're so right about putting the sabikis onto the swivels. The dropper lines were too short to allow a good uni knot. Well no, you could tie a knot but then the dropper was way too short, so then I got a sabiki manufacturer to custom make them for me. They are now called mini-traces. |

Hi PapaDave, The Kickstarter Project is running now. If you make a pledge you can get one (or two) as reward. I don't think we're allowed to post links. It should come up top if you Google: Blackbow The Easy Sabiki cheers. |
