Looking to buy two 15lb coated cannonballs (finned preferred) and one Scotty swivel base.

Live on the North Shore, work in Tsawwassen, so pick up along the way would be preferred.

OK, I'll think about it. I'd prefer coated balls, but the way I lose balls maybe I should stick with the cheaper option!

Well, I don't know for sure....I've never used coated cannonballs before! I want to try them because I don't like touching the bare lead with my bare hands, and also when/if the coated balls slide on the smooth fiberglass parts of the boat I hope they don't leave marks.

other than being protective i guess ,
theres zero advantage imho , no need to waste money on it ,
i use flashers to bring in the fish , id rather have my rigger weights out of site , out of mind !!! especially on the

$30 is the going rate for a homemade 15 pounder. Nobody knows he prices of 15 pound cannnonballs like me. Nobody!

Ha! I'm close behind you! This is the second time I've lost cannonballs on the SAME reef! Sheesh! Might have to go for a dive there next summer...I'm sure I'm not the only one losing gear there!

At Coal and fairfax point im Sidney I'm at the point where I’m snagging cannonballs on the existing cannonballs that I’ve lost there. In some spots the ocean is 3’ shallower due to my cannonball buildup.

You can set a depth alarm on your fishfinder.
