Loved the photographic presentation ❤
Adjustable rate of dispensing. Genius.
Hi PETE, thanks for the idea i will make one up ,i fish for gar with the milk bottle trick, but this would be so much better
on your coupling what were the sizes of your cut-outs, slots and blanks, cheers mate.
Good ideas very tidy unit thinking I'll give one a go next week
Thanks Big Rob - would be interested to know how you go, if happy with the result, and particularly if you make improvements. Every idea can be improved. Used mine at Edithburgh over the weekend and worked well to attract Gar and Tommies.
The garfish at Red Bluff in Kalbarri WA are typically 5 foot long, three on a line are fun to retreive.
nice work mate
very nice idear mate im in south Australia I love fishing for gar's tommy's an whiting very good video keep the idear's coming nice one
Hi Pete, could you please let me know where your got your 90mm joiner from? All I can find are couplings which have a rib inside to set a depth when sliding in the pipe which you don't want. The 3 ribs also as you said will make the slots easier to set out.
Appreciate if you could give me a heads up on where you got your sleeve from.
Cheers
Great design and idea. I was thinking would be nice to have a section where you can add/reduce weight so the device stays submerged in the water.
Maybe a second threaded end and a smaller pipe's end cap on the inside of the pipe acting as a barrier, then just throw in sinkers in the lower chamber. Might need a 100mm main pipe and 90mm end cap for that internal. Pipe weld for pressure fittings should be enough to hold them good.
Brilliant Pete well done and thanks for sharing.
I note with interest one comment that someone trying to make your system could find all the bit at Bunnings, wondering where you sourced your PVC bits from?
Also the floatation device you used to keep the burley trail delivered on the top, what did you use and where did you get it from?
I am from SA too and intend to make your rather ingenious burly delivery system.
Hope to hear from you.
Cheers,
Ian
I could have mentioned glueing the end cap and threaded end on, not a bad idea once you're sure it's finished, but they fit on very tight so I'd call that optional. Just don't get any glue under the middle bit that has to turn.
Hi Pete, I just made my own berley dispenser using your idea. I couldn't find the exact same parts in Bunnings so it's slightly different and just a bit longer and the diameter wider at 100mm. I used an alternator pulley from a truck as a cylindrical weight to keep the dispenser submerged. My one hangs vertically. I installed an eye hook (for rope) with one nut on the inside of the screw cap and the other nut on the outside where the eye hook is. It works like a dream. I just wanted to ask, because your one hangs horizontally, does air get trapped in the top part of the dispenser which makes it float? I understand if you close the adjuster, then this might happen, which doesn't matter as you've released enough berley, but if you have it half or a quarter closed, does air get trapped, making it float, which then negates the purpose of the device?
Hi Red, if you have yours weighted down, it sounds like you want it to sink, are you using it for bottom fishing? The point with my idea was that it does float, and targets surface fish - in fact I have added some rope floats on the rope that runs from the bottom of the tube to the lid, to make sure it stays near the top because without them it does sink. Because it sits side on to the tidal flow and has holes every third of the way round, it is always full of water and can't trap air that would make it stay on top - it sits just submerged. Cheers, thanks for taking an interest.
Oh I see, silly me for not thinking of that. I skipped the earlier parts of your video. I'm planning to use mine for both surface and bottom. All I have to do is remove the weight and the air gets trapped at the top of my dispenser so it acts as a natural float for surface species - hence the vertical hang. Wouldn't have achieved this without your great video. My friends think it's ingenious, but I tell them I learnt from a clever guy. Many thanks.
Seems you're the clever guy. If I thought of leaving more room each end to trap air and letting it hang vertically I wouldn't have had to solve the problem of it sinking. Thanks.
Good idea, does it float?
I think it would sink, but you could add flotation or sinkers to use it on the bottom. A good idea.
Awesome video thank you, do you sell them I would like to buy one from you please.
The best design i have seen yet. well done. Now if your really lazy you can bring along a tin of cat food and just tip it in put the lid back on and away you go :)
Mate! Patent it.
