tray19682005 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I had posted a reply about torpedo downrigger weights and I got alot of responces.Has anyone bought these? Im looking for an evaluation on these b4 I buy these.Any help would be appreciated if they really help with blowback, im hoping to upgrade my 8lb finned to these in 10lb to track deeper and straight down.But being laid off money is tight, Im hoping someone out there has tried these and can give a review if they are worth the money?

Vitalidle Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I haven't used the torpedo weights, but I just bought ridgeback rattlers and I really like them. They are pricey, but they are worth it to me. I will have to get a pick of the weights and how they show up on the fishfinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tltorrice Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I started using the rubber coated shark 12# weights last year. They do have less blow back and track very nicely in the water. I took all of my round weights out of the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tad Pole Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I made some 10 pound shark balls this past winter and i ran them a couple of weeks ago for the first time. in comparison they have about the same blow back as a 12 pound true trac ball maybe slightly less but i like them and they will be a permanent fixture from now on.

These connect direct to your line between the lure and rod. Or is there another kind of torpedo weight that is for the downrigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cduced Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm pretty sure he is talking about these:http://www.planer-board.com/torpedo.htmI'd be interested to hear if anyone has tried these. -- Bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
