Despite being 12g these look amazing! I'm excited to throw some of these around some pylons!

looks awesome. I think id bust my leader trying to flick it though!? 12grams is a bit much.. do you know if they weight is adjustable?

The weight is fixed. I'll see if they have any plans on making a lighter version. I'd mostly be using them around structure on my snags setup with 6lb+ leader so I'm not too fussed about the weight.

Wouldn't be hard to get these without weights if there was a lot of interest.

I'm interested. Maybe around 50mm across the tip of the legs would be a good size too

im also keen would be great for bream around structure such as pontoons and pylons !!

Wow they do look good!

80MM and 12 grams. Fair to say a bream wouldn't be able to scoff that, hookups would be few and far between. That's based on the shape but, I understand bream wouldn't have an issue with say a 80mm minnow style plastic.

Someone posted in another thread that they are making a smaller one..........

They are a lot smaller than you think mate. That 80mm is from the very tip of the extended legs. The body itself would be lucky to be 25mm across.

what about the weight guys? 12g that's a bit heavy IMO

yeah, it does limit the application a bit. 7/16oz is pushing it for most bream rods.

Dropping down a pylon should not affect the rod, only whippy casts etc. You would be able to slow roll it easier along the bottom at that weight like a crab walking.
