I actually wrote an article about how lead weights have impacted the environment if you want to learn more. I hope these tables help give you a sense of how fast your sinker or jig will sink in freshwater and saltwater and is another tool you can use to improve your fishing game.
If you have been to your local tackle store, you might have noticed that they sell monofilament fishing lines and monofilament leader lines. But have you ever asked the why?
What is the difference LOL Looks like you've got all the bases covered Cash :clap:. Thank you very much. Already pt2 is becoming very interesting, opening our own eyes to things again. Also take into consideration the 'elastic' band effect! Only if you hit the clip hard surely? Experience will tell you if you have overcooked it and you can slow the rig accordingly by feathering, and by dropping the rod tip to cushion the impact against the clip. Trapping the line in anyway will cause the lead to continue forward once in the water taking the stretch out of the line, and then catapults back and drops.
Even if you lower the rod tip to lower the lead towards the lake bed? I can't test this one myself so would like to know if I am wasting my time when I think I am "placing" my bait. Of course it does. Your 'throwing' a lead weight outwards, it continues going outwards until it gets to a point where it stops, thats the lakebed in shallow water or once all the stretch is taken out of the line.
The only way to avoid this happening, really would be to cast a solid pva bag and just before it hits the water, don't feather or trap the line, let it hit and decsend naturally. You won't be that accurate with it and there will still be an element of it 'pinging' back, just not as much.
Your not wasting your time, as you still catch fish. Its just probable that your catching fish not from the exact spot you think you are. All is explained on the film, and one of the ways that you can overcome this and hit the spot almost every time. Its fairly simple to be honest. OK then - how does the stretch get into the line?
Until the line actually hits the clip the lead is pulling against a virtually free end, and the only stretch will be imparted by the friction of the line against the rings and spool lip. I can't see this imparting that much stretch.
It won't stretch the line in the manner we're taking about, if you don't feather the cast at all or stop it But it does stretch the line on the cast regardless.
As we're finding with the current filming, if you cast in the manner, almost every time the rig tangles, and is never accurately onto the area your trying to fish. Its fraught with problems, and I cannot remember the last time I saw somebody cast without feathering or at least trapping the line as the lead hits the water - too feel the lead down. Cash, I am not arguing about what happens to the rig as it falls, just debating the actual cause and getting the science straight in my head.
I still don't get how braking the line gently by feathering will impart much stretch into it. Also the vertical arc of the line will have to be pretty much straightened before the line starts to stretch. I can get how a hard low cast that thumps against the clip way up in the air will bounce back, but just can't see it being the cause of the rig moving towards the angler on a normal cast that has been controlled correctly.
I agree that the rig seldom ends up where we think it does. Anyone who has cast at a marker on a big pit with a bit of a blow on will know the effect the bow in the line has on rig position, especially when it takes the marker out. Also how many times have you reeled in only to think that the lead has come off the lakebed from somewhere different to where you thought it was? I'm also no scientist but have had the fortunate 'vision' from a very experienced diver who has filmed 's of hours underwater, conducting tests such as we're discussing.
Mono and fluorocarbon are like huge elastic bands, so any force applied cause's them to stretch, and therefore a bungee effect happens. How much of a bungee will depend on how hard the cast is, but it occurs on every cast. Stu has watched the leads hits the water, travel beyond the point and then recoil back. It happens too fast to capture on standard underwater camera set ups to capture, but he's watched it so many times.
This is one of the reasons why you need to adjust your 'markings' to be able to land the lead on the spot every time. Perhaps someone who is more clever than I - i failed physics can explain in a more technical way. Let's not even get started on slack lining at distance!!!!
I didn't fail physics. If you pull only one end of an elastic band it won't stretch, so your argument about any force that is applied causing stretch is simply wrong.
Feathering will remove the bow in the line first, and the line won't start to stretch until it has been straightened. If you drop the tip when the line hits the clip it will also dissipate the energy of the cast. If the lead has nothing to pull against the line will simply not stretch. How often, even when the line has hit the clip, do you see the line gently drift down and settle on the surface. Pretty much every time in my experience, so there is no stretch involved there, as it would be bowsting tight.
I can understand it happening if the clip is hit hard, but that is just poor technique. Well said Ant theres no way feathering the line causes the lead to jump back, you'd feel the line go slack as the lead was dropping if this was the case, and then wouldn't be able to feel the lead down.
Thats because it wont - unless your using a line that stretches a lot at first. Different lines have very different stretch characteristics - and those that are poor for feeling the lead down will be stretchier at first - before locking up near breaking strain. Good ones give a crisp feel and stretch as the pressure on the line is increased - ultimately up to full breaking strain.
The bungee effect is down to poor casting technique Cashie baby. Remember the slow motion images of the loop of line left above the surface as the lead decelarates How can that cause a bungee effect unless your line hits the clip whilst travelling a fairly high velocity above the water, and without the caster using the rod tip to take the force out of the cast Well said Ant theres no way feathering the line causes the lead to jump back, you'd feel the line go slack as the lead was dropping if this was the case, and then wouldn't be able to feel the lead down Not only that - the lead would drag back along the bottom in shallow water unless it was plugged as the descent through the water would not be long enough to remove the stretch.
If the lead was plugged the line would be under tension all the way back to the clip. I am inclined towards the pivot point where the line enters the water having a bigger effect that previously thought.
The resistance of the lead suddenly having to drag the line through a much denser medium than air, and the drag coefficient of the surface tension may cause the lead to swing back towards the angler. That may be complete tosh, but light is severely affected by the change in medium and things aren't actually where you "see" them due to refraction. From a scientific point of view water is a pain to deal with as it doesn't behave in a normal way.
The Lead boat just had to displace enough water to keep it up. This means it had to displace or push away approximately 15 cubic inches of water, according to my calculations. When the water an object displaces weighs more than the object, it floats. That 50 lb weight you tied onto their leg, when placed in the water will displace water too. You may be advised to stop drinking your tap water until investigation of the source of the lead is completed and remedial measures are taken.
Further information can be found on the Scottish Water website. The Drinking Water Quality Regulator for Scotland website has more information about lead in drinking water including private water supplies.
Local council Environmental Health Officers have an awareness of private water supplies in their areas. You can find contact details for your local council on the CoSLA website. Home Illnesses and conditions Infections and poisoning Lead poisoning. Lead poisoning. About lead poisoning Lead poisoning can occur when lead enters the body. Causes of lead poisoning Most people's risk of lead poisoning is very small as nowadays lead generally isn't used in paints, petrol or food containers.
Symptoms Exposure to lead can be harmful especially to unborn babies and young children. The signs and symptoms in young children can include: irritability and fatigue loss of appetite and weight loss abdominal pain vomiting constipation hearing loss developmental delay and learning difficulties Although children are at increased risk of the effects of lead poisoning, exposure via drinking contaminated water can also result in illness in adults.
