The cast-weight ("kastdobb/dupp") is easily made of discarded Windsor chairs.
Using a drilling machine and lead you can get it half-floating, or fast-sinking
if fishing in big rivers.
(With this method you do not lose lead and flies when fishing in the river.)
A finished "wood-lead-dupp" should have a weight about 20-25 gramme.
View the drawing below. It is important having the "dupp" free on the main-line !
Lekande = swivel Plastslang = plastic tube, will avoid tangle Sportfiske = (a Swedish fishing magazine) |
I can proudly announce that fishing from coast with this method caught
a Landlocked Salmon (Insjölax) December 21 1997, 44.97 lbs/20.4 kg. Yes, Swedish Record and probably the new World Record. A very nice picture could be found here and a short Article here. |
