This looks like something I could do.

Nice ... love this idea👍

So you’re using lead bulbs for sinkers, but then you’re adding form for flotation, does not make much sense to me, especially using justice for attaching

the castle nut tightness should be adjusted after the wheel is installed. Assuming the wheel studs are 1/2", and for those of us who like using a torque wrench, the lug nut torque should be 75-85 ft-lbs

How does the battery get recharged?

I like the idea. A number of years ago when lead prices started going though the roof here we started looking for cheaper options for our offshore fishing. For deep drops, we would take a tin can, we used both tuna fish cans and small cans from vegetables, filled them with concrete using a loop of wire coat hanger or a paperclip to tie to. For drift fishing we would take lengths of rebar and drill a hole in the end to tie to. Then we found we were getting a ton of bites that we couldn't hook. We soon realized that the fish were biting the rebar not the lure or bait. We then brazed a hook to the rebar and were catching fish on the weight not the bait. We soon stopped using bait and just putting hooks on the rebar, if we lost a few, it was cheap. (we used cut off pieces from a buddies scrap yard, never new. If it got lost, it would rust away in the saltwater. We snagged a few and lost them but later experimented with painting the rebar pieces but the plain rusty brown metal worked the best. The only downside was we would catch any number of species, it wasn't at all specific. We came to the conclusion that fish would attach anything that moved that didn't look 'unnatural' down there. I suppose they mistook it for a small eel or giant worm? While fishing off of NJ once we even had a small shark swallow a can of cement, no hooks, just the can tied to the bottom end of the rig. After that we started tying the cans on with rubber bands to both avoid snags and to avoid dragging it around enticing a bite.

I have toyed with the same idea. I use steel leader .045 or smaller and run it all the way thru with loops at both ends. My theory is to slide the weights over the jetty rock where snags are guaranteed. However, I have used 10 lb line for the weights that will break off if snagged, but can you imagine how much lead is in the rocks after years of lost lead?

Hey where is that foot steering unit available from??? That's not a Newport product, is it??

Great stuff Dan!!!

Some great ideas Dan✌️✌️

Awesome idea looks awesome

I bought a couple twelve foot composite deck boards and replaced the trailer bunks with those, even the side bunks and fender skids.

I would just screw the eye into the first lead ball you put in, so much simpler

Where I'm living is an island surrounded by whole lagoons with volcanic lava and coral area ..do you think these sinkers will work out if I try

Taking all 4 lug nuts all the way off without any support is NOT a good idea. That long hub would probably avoid damage, but why risk it (you have to support it eventually).

A very interesting tutorial, thank you. A small point you might like to bear in mind, lead is hugely poisonous - as are the fumes - so you should perhaps wear some light surgical gloves and a suitable mask when melting and pouring.....? Best regards, and good luck

Is there sufficient clearance between the new tire height and the underside of the existing mudguard. Cheers from Michael. Australia

Never buy anything on Ammonia, you have no idea what you will get. he trend is to stop using lead in the waters, it makes sense. When I saw the video I was thinking rebar, it is steel, cut it up and show us your new designs.

thats a great set up man!

Awesome video Dan, I will be ordering ssome of that stuff you use!!!

My Shimano BInder is getting worn out! Might have to get me one of these. I'll use your link when I do ;) Well done video man!

When I made mine the last weight I put in was texas rig sliding sinker with some 20lb line run through the center with a knot at the bottom of the sinker and then tied the swivel Snap to that then heat shrunk it in. I probably didn't need all that but it gave me more peace of mind that the snap wouldn't pull out if the tubing were to tear on some rocks or other stuff.

I’ve actually made some of those for sea fishing, but I have used ballbearings hose pipe and silicon to seal the end and they do work fantastic especially if you are fishing where there is a lot of rocky snags just an idea thank you👍🏻

Could you hook up both motors to the same battery and just use them one at a time or no?

I never noticed a difference with the rattles and spooks. Carolina rig is simple and effective

I've never used these kind of sinkers can they be used for bank fishing?

Great video Dan

how or is the swivel attached to anything other than the heat shrink?

Try a chop sticks they work really well

To get the balls in, a single drop of 3in1 will help tremendously

The way you did the swivel would be at the very bottom pick of my methods.

These are nice weights 👍🏼

340$ for the rack 😅

I'm keen to know., how does the strapping cope with being submersed in salt water. every time you put your vessel in the water. ???

Nice dragging weights Dan! If you squeeze the heat shrink with some needle nosed pliers while it's hot, you can seal off the weights and make them water tight.

I herd you say that you don't drag in the James river current, How come you don't?? Just wondering

Nice video great procedures. Have you had much trouble with the swivels pulling out of the end of the tube?

Nicely done Dan

great video, I have the same setup nk300 with unlimited. Range test would be great.

first bump---goodbye mudgaurd

Did you find that install height for the motor to be good?

That’s not the transom mounting bracket I received for my unlimited. The link doesn’t even show that. I ordered it from Amazon.

Oh yeah that’s awesome - I think I’m gonna have to get the NK300 for my NuCanoe!

Great review, just the info I was looking for!

Got a question when you were running the test on the top speed for the trolling motor did you have the electric motor tn the up right position because if it was down I believe it would create a drag on the actual top speed

do you think i could do this to a bass bass boat with a little modifaction

Wondering what size ball bearing swivel with coastlock snap you use? Great video, by the way.

U40 Cork Seal is just an expensive version of exterior-grade water based polyurethane. You can find this same stuff at your local True Value, Ace, Lowe's, etc., for less.
