Using Stella 20000 spool for popping

I practice at a local park too and had fun with dogs as well.But I put some sinkers inside a tennis ball to reach the required weight, and its tied on via some very heavy leader and a hole through the ball. That way you dont damage your lures as it doesnt dig into the ground, and if a dog does take it , it wont hurt the dog. So far , so good.

I unfortunately found out many years ago doing this that dogs like chasing things you cast around..........

I was within an inch of getting into a fight with the owner who was well, somewhat unhappy. The only thing that saved me was that the friend who I was teaching to cast was about 120kg.

We usually dry cast in our local reservoirs. Its fresh water and has less damage on the lines and at the same time we can check out the popper action as well. We do get people looking at us strangely and asking us what we were trying to catch without hooks. ;D

Brandon Khoo:
if that is the case, you should leave your hooks on - you might catch the biggest snakehead in the world!

Have you guys not ever wondered what a Great Dane would flight like on a popping outfit. I would have thought that would be good fitness for both fisherman and the dog. We have all seen the XXXX gold adds on Tv.

Greg Burt:
Great Danes are no good randy, they can't play cricket either. ::)
Harry [blond haired one] shows up fishing in some 'Fishing West Australia' episodes, he's got the same nature as in the adds. ;D
