I am considering hooking on a small burley bomb in the middle of the hooks to go out with the kontiki. Has any one tried this? Comments? Suggestions?

We have dropped the long line then go up current to fish and drop the burly so the long line is in the trail... lengthways.
Has it had any effect? well in therory we should catch less or smaler fish off the boat , and more on the long line...We tend to use the long linew in winter hard fishing times and cant say any noticanle effect has been noted...But if the opporunity presents  current direct we do still do it.

A while back saw in FCO (think it was) little burly/ oil cage things that hook onto ones fishing line....
maybe a few of those down the long line???

And have dropped a full  2 kg burly bomb at the top end of the long line.. nd id have a little better haul than normal.. but on those occasions the fishing was good anyway

Weight on the kontiki mentioned above by WL...
now I have never messed with modern kontikis....
Back in the 60s the old man built a catamaran kontiki out of Galved down pipe and  adjustable square sail.
At the rear had a large fencing staple the trailing line looped thru....this held the sinker up with a barley sugar... barley sugar melted in about 20/ 30 mns from memory, and sinker dropped down the line.... the sail was also looped thru, and this also dropped.
Now maybe something like this to drop a burly bomb?

maybe food for thought?

tried the small plastic mesh types with small bits of burley,the trick was not to let lie on tke bottom as the lice had a good feed
