Lumo Sinkers

[Touchy - R.I.P.]

G'Day Gang,Can I have some input from the offshore fisho's re the pro's/con's of coloured/lumo (same?)sinkers when offshore floatlining,I have used beads & rubber tubing but more as a sinker stopper than a attraction.Cheers T.><> ><> ><>.

I am told they are too jaybee, i give them away filleted, call em cobia too nothing can beat the shock when that first one sticks to your leg, alien all over again.

Lumo sinkers...........I thought the post was about Lumo Stinkers. ???

Anyway, The Bugmiester swears by them and he's produced good fish using them.

I prefer the tubing............and Green is THE colour.

I have a new recipe for Remora.

place whole remora in a pot of water, add house brick, bring to boil, remove Remora and eat house brick. mmmmmmmmmmm ! ???

A lot of offshore do use lumo sinkers. Ross McCubbin who runs offshore charters from the Gold Coast uses them successfully for Jewies/Snapper.
I know of one angler who purchased $300 of lumo sinkers for a Straddie Classic a few years back. This guy was no slouch either when it comes to offshore and is always in with the prizewinners.
I think Doug Burt's Tackleworld still carries a range of them??

Does anyone sell these anymore.....

[Nicko_Cairns]

Apparently remove do chew well...

you can buy glow pigment and you could put some glue on the sinkers, dip them in the pigment then spray a coat of clear, not sure how long it will last but worth a try. Tubing might be easier!

Remora's, don't often see them for sale, have to catch them yourself.

I use them & they seem to go ok. My only issue was you have 6 rolling around in a compartment in your tackle box, & I ended up with a pile of green/yellow pigment & 6 bald sinkers!!
