I bought this from the Rubbish Tip Shop.
There were 4 of these, 10 standard handlines, 2 opera house yabby traps and some old Cod Spinners. I initially thought it must be from a pro fisherman but the more I think about it, the more I reckon it might be from some who used to illegally run this across a creek somewhere. There are god knows how many droppers tied to the rope with a hook and sinker. What does everyone think? |

I think you are right, I can't see that being a professional's apparatus.

Hi 2 bobs worth,
Not every professional and not every state has the same regulations on drop or long lines. It is hard to calculate if it has been used illegally or by a professional. Not All long lines are klms long, and depending on the species being targeted as to how they are set. Yours is weighted so obviously targeting bottom fish, cord main line suggests either armature or old pro with old preference`s, most use mono today or at least do in SA, Never seen the hooks but most use circle hooks In saying this I have seen old pro lines set up similar, depending on targeted fish and where fishing as to who would be using it. Cheers Kimo |
