1426.0. "Power line, help needed" by ELWOOD::GROLEAU (Mine, is but to wonder why) Tue Jun 05 1990 11:20

    Can someone tell me where I can buy a "POWER LINE".
    I live in the Marlboro MA. area. I want to use it for *pout*.
    Also hints on how to use the power line...the best way... Bait,
    hook size/kind, good spot to fish, ANYTHING, would be helpful !
    
            I WANT TO " POUT "   *8-)
                                          THANKS........

    	It's a section of Cable, perhaps many miles long, charged with
    many KVolts, sometimes as much as 100K!  It's used to Shock the fish
    to make it easier.....  :')  Sorry, couldn't resist.

    RE.1
            Its a hand line, that has 20/30 ft. of heavy duty rubber
    band/cord up front, backed up with a small dia. cord line. You tie a
    1 or 2 lb. weight, rock/sock,sand filled, or whatever, up front on 
    the rubber band, attach 2 hooks (with leader) at front end of cord
    line, bait r' up, n' whip r' out ............... NOW... the glory
    of it all is, ya catch ya fish, (or check ya bait) PUT THE HOOKS
    IN THE WATER....................N' let her snap back out, same spot
    every time............LASY, or what ? ....but it works fine.
    Before anyone flames me.........I use this for pout/carp only !!!!!
    
    Buy the way.....................anyone who has used a * POWER LINE *
    I would like to compare notes.
    
    MAY THE POWER BE WITH YOU !     *8-)

    	 I always use a # 6 hook with a long shank. As for bait I just
    put a nightcrawler on each hook and put the radio on the ball game
    and sit back and wait for the fun to start.

1426.61 loaf of sunbeam, pleaseELWOOD::GROLEAUMine, is but to wonder whyTue Jun 05 1990 14:298
    RE.3
         I also use "DOUGHBALLS" with a #6. Ya buy a nice FRESH loaf of
    cheap white bread, tear out the nice soft center, and mold 3/8'' balls
    on the hook. the pout/carp love it, and it stays on the hook a long
    time. One drawback.........they suck it right down the gut.
    
    Keep ya tip up.................*8-0                Dan

    I thought powerlines were illegal in (thar's a law ginst most
    everthang) Mass. due to the many hooks usually used.
1426.9FREEBE::KERSCHCAUTION:Noting can be hazardous to your productivity!!!Fri Jun 08 1990 14:439
    
    
    	 Not illegal yet that I know of but give them time and they
    	will call it an assualt weapon. :> Your still only allowed
    	2 hooks regardless if its 2 hooks on 1 powerline or 2 powerlines
    	with 1 hook each.

	Netcraft has trot lines, but you'll have to add the rubber band.
