Tried these on the weekend and they worked well. Caught that many flatties on it that I lost count.
I also hooked onto a large snapper that I nearly landed but the hook got nearly straightened out.If I was to use these for snapper the hooks would have to be more heavy duty or go to the 80g one.
Anyone else had success with these ?

I've only used one once and got a flathead on the first cast. I'll be keeping one handy even if not actually fishing with it. They seem perfect for dropping own on a school of snapper in between trolling.

Re: Berkley Slomo 40g
Would be good to a google spreadsheet of lures, what people have tried (method of retrieval) and the end result.
Ok. I've created one...

Re: Berkley Slomo 40g
I had the hook also straighten out on a large snapper. Might look at upgrading the hooks on them to more heavy duty.
It is pretty disappointing to get a large snapper really close to the kayak only to have the hook straighten out.
Apart from the hook straightening they work really well for flatties on the 40g model.

Drop to the bottom then wind a metre up. Place rod in rod holder. Fish with another rod and let the bob of the kayak do its job for you
Live long, fish hard and hopefully catch something.
