Does anyone have success towing them behind paravanes and getting them down even deeper?]]> Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:25:12 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=83463&PID=1197384&title=rapala-magnums#1197384 <![CDATA[Rapala Magnums : laidbackdood wrote:Bite....so...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=83463&PID=1197380&title=rapala-magnums#1197380 Author: bite

not realy a down rigger, but it keeps the rapala  under control in that they dont jump out of the water they stay in the water  or go raceing around the place or fliping  Wink

Only use the Halco Laser's on the island. Caught GT, Sailfish, Barracuda, Wahoo, YFT and Coral trout. Connect it to 175lb wire via a 200lb snaplock and 150lb windon. Never had a problem and it is a stand out performer.Not much paint left on it but it works everytime.

was one of the questions i was going to ask.. i have heard it said that a trolling sinker above like bite suggests helps them at higher speeds? - ie helps stop them from kicking out  any truth to this?]]> Sat, 20 Oct 2012 19:19:20 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=83463&PID=1196436&title=rapala-magnums#1196436 <![CDATA[Rapala Magnums : i allways run them with...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=83463&PID=1195618&title=rapala-magnums#1195618 Author: bite
