Nice work on the snaps mate. So much for them not biting on a low barometer. I checked in the morning and it was down to 1005!! About what size does the 1oz egg sinker equate to in a ball sinker? No.6 or 7 maybe??

The 1 oz egg sinker is approx the same weight as a 4 ball.
A good while back 4 of us were floating flesh baits out the back of "Alexander" at the Hards using 4 ball sinkers but no bites even though the sounder showed we were over snapper. Put out a snood rig with a glow 1 oz egg sinker on top of the 2nd hook and pulled in a nice 3kg snapper. We all switched to glow sinkers and even glow jigheads and bagged out in 1 hour.

Cheers
