Hey everyone.
In the process of getting set up and I have a few questions. I will first start by saying I hope to do most of my prawning aground Comox Campbell River area.
First question is how long of a rope is recommended for a two trap string assuming I will be from 200-350 feet of water? I have one set at 450 long.Thought I read something that people use 600feet?
Second question is I will be using 28" commercial. As I look at them I have option for steel coated or stainless.What would you buy?
Third Question is do you add weight to your traps and if so what do you use? I also have heard of adding a 8-10lb cannonball at end of string before first trap? I asume that is a practice used for the quadra are as the current is so strong?
Final point is that I have purchased nothing so far but am on the hunt for good quality used. We are looking for 8 traps. I see some locally on Craigslist all the time. Anyone get any from there?
Thanks for any info you may offer.
Cheers{ Ray
