How I use the gear
Damn, it worked this time, I must of had a brain fart yesterday.
As you can see, I have three different weights for my sessions.
There is a 4 lb. , 6 lb. , and an 8 lb. downrigger balls. I have only progressed to the 6 lb. as of now but have experimented with 1 minute hangs with the 8 lb.
I was thinking, as I purchased these weights, that as I progressed in my hanging, I could do a combination of weights.
Thus 4lb, 6lb, 8lb, 6lb+4lb, 8lb+4lb, 8lb+6lb, and so on if I desire to purchase other weights.
The hanger is made of off the shelf water line insulation foam from Home Depot. I have had to replace it only once in the last 1 1/2 months. I use a cotton strip with a small piece of tape for the first wrap. I then use the household anti-slip material for the second wrap with a small piece of tape. I then attach the hanger with the hock forward for easier attachment of the weight. I slip on the other clamp, close it and attach the wing nut to the bolt and clam on the sides of the unit until it is snug enough so as not to slip off.
I use the Golf weights as ans ADS in the evenings and weekends.
