back in the north east we’re I grew up,
We all used to use these for Cod fishing,
I’m just wondering if there is any interest
In them , here on the west coast,
One guy was using them on my last Tony Reyes trip,I would appreciate your opinion.

    Used to use similar on a plastic slider sleeve for sturgeon fishing when I lived in Washington. Still got a few in the box actually but I don't really use them here. No reason really except sometimes the hoop is big to attach to some swivels and quick connects

    I use them all the time, they are great for cod fishing. They are easy to attach with a double surgeon's loop.

    One advantage to a torpedo sinker is the ability to add another weight with a quick clip snap. The bank sinker doesn't have a lower attach point.

    I prefer the type you already cast, that’s my friend that was on the trip with you that makes those, they are ok but not as good as the torpedo

    Hey jerry. I sold a few of these back in the day, mostly 6 and 8 oz, but I think you’re on the right shapes already.

    If you want to increase your volume, text or pm me. I can recommend a couple items that were really profitable for me, and I know a handful of captains that were left out to dry when I quit, I’m sure they’d love to work something out with you.

    Do you or can you make torpedoes with the wire run through them? Seems like there might be a market for them with last year's popularity of rigging them with hooks for tuna
