« on: March 27, 2024, 03:24:52 PM »Thanks Al! I love it, especially the weight. My hesitation is mandatorily adding up to 32oz of lead to my platform for an unverified life expectancy of said released species.I've descended even a 20"+ Yellow Eye on 10oz. It took a bit to get him started but once they go down about 10 feet they seem to be able to keep going. That was in only about 60' of water though, so maybe that helped. I think Coppers and maybe Quillbacks go down easier. I plan on having only 12 oz on my Shelton and if that doesn't work then I could add another 10. I cannot see 32oz ever being needed. Maybe for a huge YE in 50 fathom plus? 50 fathom plus is where the survival of barotrauma seems suspect anyway.
