How's it hanging.....
 

It's called the Santee catfish rig.

Just needs soldering....
 

And paint 🎨 sizes 6in and 12in long....
Weight 1oz thru 6 oz

Alittle heavy.....
 

But utilizing supplies on hand ✋️

Like aging wine 🍷....
 

You want to know what's what....
Mark your mono and floral...
Why would you want to use aged monofilament line,
When you can use that first.
Just add reservoir....💧

For those that ask....
 

Why....

Drift fishing 🐈

How much do those weigh? Might be good for rock fish.

My biggest weight
 

Is 16oz and I have all the sizes in between, I made them lead free.

These are pencil ✏️ weights....
 

Make for dragging across the bottom with a float that holds cut bait off the bottom. But you could use them for what ever you want the heaviest one is just under 6oz.
They all have a hole 🕳 in the bottom for adjusting and add more weight if needed like a barrel weight

The silver soldier....
 

Made them get expensive. I Think the 300lb swivels were around 20 cents apiece. I got a hundred of them no wonder they hate me....🤣

In this batch....
 

The lightest and the heaviest pencil ✏️ weights
But they could be converted into a jig just ads assist hooks top and bottom the hole 🕳 there. Going to spray with clear coat only because I have some.
The school of shad is on the bottom.

Complete Santee.....
 

Catfish rig....just add bait and drift slow.

Can you spot where I forgot.....
 

To put a plastic bead...
Always something

Curious Mitch,

What species are you targeting with that rig?:jig::reeling:

It say.....
 

Second line 5th word over catfish.
Also when you see 👀 a kitty cat 🐈 that means catfish too :cheers1:

I tend to believe.....
 

With a hefty cut of herring an Alaskan halibut couldn't
Resist it :reel:

Also the.....
 

Santee Cooper rig is a float that holds the bait off the bottom and I prefer a float that looks like a bait fish :doh:

You can just sit around wasting away...
 

And polluting your brain 🧠 with stupid Netflix 🙄 movies 🎬 or you can take the value of different atoms combine
For an increased value....
These babies are going in my vault
Better than money 💰 sitting in the bank doing nothing 🤣 🕶😎

Are the long bars used for weights? What did you make them from and how did you get the prism finish on them?

Cool :jig:

It just round bar steel
 

It comes hot rolled and cold rolled. Hot rolled is softer easier to work with drilling and cutting.
You can Google weight charts that tell you size weight pre foot on different sizes just do the math
The prism is just tape made for putting on lures
It comes in a box with gold silver blue purple red green all prism tape cheap good stuff 👌

If you want to make some sinkers
 

Just go to the steel and metal yard sales and look through there cut offs pile for scrap 1in round bar works good for deep ocean 4,6,8,10 oz what ever you want.

If you don't have a drill press
 

You can weld a washer on top to fasten to line.
And chop saw for the round bar
Cheap compared to buying lead but not if you don't have the tools available. A hand grinder with cut-off wheels will work alittle slow but better than a hack saw

Heavy rebar....
 

Works too

Thanks!
